Went for the last drive of the season, car is going on jack stands and the tires are going in the basement tomorrow. It’s a sad day.

I also rolled 192,000 miles, so that’s cool.

It was such an amazing day for late november, bet it was great with the top down!

What do you drive in the winter and why do the tires go in the basement?

Yeah it was a great day for a drive, although I got quite a few funny looks as it got colder later in the day haha. I drive a ‘98 Mercury Grand Marquis when I’m home in the winter (it’s not going back to school with me), it’s a barge and a gas guzzler but a total hoot in the snow.

Tires are going in the basement because they’re extreme performance summers, and I think I’m going to follow manufacturer warnings at least for this year and keep them out of the cold. The car is stored in an unheated garage so I don’t want to take any chances with the rubber cracking and ruining a 1500 mile set of tires.

Tested my sanity this past weekend helping a friend strip a MK6 GTI and put the motor from that in a MK6 jetta. Doing jobs like this really make me realize how much I am thankful for:

1. Not owning a VW

2. Not working on cars for a living.

3. Sorry for any of you that part take in either of those

^Forgot to ask what you were up to. Agreed on the VW ownership part, can't wait to get rid of my mom's 2slow new beetle. Everything breaks on that pos.

"Do you have a tow strap?"
"Yeah, I've got something"

He didn't have something.

I will never forget using jumper cables to pull @Ryan...'s car out of a snowbank.

What the flyin?!

The only scenario where this makes sense is if the GTi is wrecked and the Jetta has a bad engine and both cars were acquired on the cheap.
