LA is pretty terrible. San Francisco is far nicer to wander about in, it feels like a real city as opposed to an endless cluster of roads, buildings and traffic.

There's a guy who works in the same set of buildings as I do, and he dailies his GTR year round. When I chatted with him he said he basically roasts a set of summers yearly and they typically wear out just as he needs to put snows on. He said "it's all wheel drive, works great with good tires".

He didn't say anything about the cost, but his boss has a 911 GT3RS, so I imagine their business is doing well enough tires aren't a big concern
My coworker dailies his new 911 Carrera S and we just talked about winter tires a few days ago - it snows very rarely here and since the giant tires are so expensive, he's going to wing it and just take the cab to the office the few days of the year when he can't drive it. I guess you don't get to be rich by blowing money on unnecessary poo poo:v:

I can only imagine. I was chatting with a 911 Turbo S owner, and when asking about the cost of tyres, he replied with "don't ask."

The Falken ZE914s I got for my 944 S2 cost me less than the tyres my mother got for her work van. From the same place. :psyduck:

That's part of the charm here though. I can just blend in to the crazy.

Actually Hunter Thompson said it best: "There was only one road back to L.A., U.S. interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker, and Barstow, and Berdoo. Then on to the Hollywood freeway straight into frantic oblivion. Safety... obscurity... just another freak in the freak kingdom."

Awesome only for the Christmas lights. A friend spotted this at a Walmart in Wisconsin and sent it to me. Considering it is night time and the other things he has told me the temps are hovering near zero degrees F, with wind chill being around -20. Santa has a huge pair of balls.

Carrying extra cylinders for when one falls off. It's a Russian bike, after all.
