Kinda funny, really...all the time, money, effort and aggravation to get it to a decent place aesthetically and 70 miles of freeway driving snatches it all away in the blink of an eye.

Car is filthy, but I finally broke down and put winter tires on. After dealing with chains for 3 weeks last winter I'm now one of those people tearing up the roads.

Oh...you're one of those guys, lols. Michigan banned studded tires long ago, so when we moved out here to Beaverton and saw studded tires it was immediately clear, in part, why the roads are in such disrepair. Fortunately, I haven't had the need to use studded tires or chains, yet...

Re: The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread
I was (and am) a rabid anti-stud guy. Been in Portland for 25 years. Have never needed them and don't get why other people have them.
However... I live at 1000'. Doesn't sound like much, but in winter it's a whole different world up here. And I live on one of the steepest streets in Portland. And my wife is a first responder. When conditions are the absolute worst she has to get to work. So she has no choice and has to drive in the worst possible conditions to get to work (and then drive those conditions at work).
Last winter we were pretty well frozen in a couple of times. The city put barricades at the top of our street and closed it - nothing could get down it and some emergency vehicles got stuck. We became the defacto medical transport for the neighborhood. Chained up 4 wheels over snow tires. One person in the middle of chemo we took into town several times. No other way she could have gotten there. One medical emergency we had to take to the top of the hill to meet the ambulance. And what's crazy is that we were frozen in up here when the roads were perfectly clear 5 mins away from us.
I don't expect that the studs will eliminate the need for chains when we get ice. But I'm hoping to reduce the number of times I'm chaining up. Chains we on and off 20 or more times last winter. Not pleasant.
(Sorry for the rant - got defensive about running road wreckers on my car.)

Man, that's wicked, dude. You live up around Washington Park area? I remember that area being rekt last year with the snow. Fortunately, I live in Beaverton and while the roads were slippery, it wasn't bad at all.
BTW, good work on helping out the neighbors...
