First snow of the season in Calgary

mac_82 · 11-02-2005, 04:32 AM

Well after leaving the Flames game tonight I found everything coated in snow. I have been waiting to test my new WRX in the snow since I bought it 2.5 months ago and I was not dissapointed. Now I love my car even more than before.

Anyone else go for a drive tonight?

We got a couple inches down here too, I have to agree, the car is a blast in the winter. I just bought mine in August so it still has worn out RE92's which were a bit scary at times but super fun at others.

I had hockey from 9:45 until 11:00... guess what I did afterwards?

Well the RE070 seem to have more traction than I remember. I drove home from school last night and to work this morning. Will have to change them this weekend though.

My WRX with 245/40/17 Falken's is sitting in the garage till I take delivery of my winter STi rims. Hopefully the end of this week.

Those tires on snow have the potential to induce a heart attack
