Just wanted to vent my excitment.. wifey dosen't care....
Living in New england I wanted snow tires for the lil' yaris. (heard bad things about stock tires and snow) Anyways found steelie rims with hubcaps and lugs for $50, and michelin x ice used for one month in 185/60/15 for $100 for all 4.... so $150 for snow tire setup not too shabby.. oh I do have to get them mounted $14 each at town fair.... so $203 for a complete snowtire setup with basicly new tires.... whoooo hooooo Think I did pretty well.... Not to mention going the complete opposite way picked up a 2003 fully loaded last week for $2500.... needs a door (woman's kid opened the door while she was backing out of garage)...found a door for $100 hinge for $18 and paint is $200... total $2818 Think my week is going pretty well.... I just wanted to vent my happiness.....

Grab a sway bar. Easy and cheap way to address a lot of the wind vs Yaris issues.

What do you want pics of unmounted snow tires sitting in the back of my durango and the rims in my shed? or of the suburban that I have fixed all the body issues now sitting in primer waiting to be sprayed in the booth? either way if you really want pics I can post em.. not very exciting though....
