You spend the next 15 minutes explaining to the state trooper you had trouble converting km/hr to mph...

Your car tells your MPH. The speed limit tells you MPH. There is no conversion. Keep it at the number posted

Snowing here in Boston today and I'm having great time driving with my Dunlop M3's. The tires are simply amazing. I actually have to try hard to get the tail to slip much.

It's my first time in the snow with RWD or manual transmission and I now have zero concern about either.

I have the exact same setup. I fully agree. A little common sense (just a little) and I don't expect to have any problems getting anywhere around town.

although i am fond of snow(snowboard addict) but i honestly am not fond of driving in the snow.. but our PennDot guys to a good job cleaning up the streets.

While I was stationed in Tokyo, Japan, once it snowed, they shut down the highways for 4inches of snow. WTF! it took 16hours to get back home and it only take 2hrs!!!!!!

But, having said that, since Im back in philly, I must say, plowing my driveways is more of the hassle!

I envy those of you who dont have to plow but at the same time I pity you since I just hop in my car in the garage and head out without having to deal with the cold! ..
