High octane Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I haven't used snow tires for years, however when I did I usually had another set of rims that they were mounted to. "All season" tires seem to work good on snow and they do plow so I don't really worry 'bout driving when it snows. I also drive slower with snow on the streets, unlike other drivers who don't and find themselves in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Around here they plow and salt so much that you have to really go out of your way to drive on snow-covered streets. About the only time the streets are snow covered is during a snowstorm. If you wait until the snow stops, the streets will be plowed and salted almost immediately. I drive a RWD Mustang year round, and have never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hey guys, don't forget that the Du Page Swap Meet in Wheaton is comin' up on Feb. 22nd. Hope to see some of you there.

High octane Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If they don't give you the day off, call in "sick" and enjoy the show. It runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I believe. And no I'm not kiddin' Joe 'bout callin' in sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You bet Ron, we'll take care of it and also have some Portillo's beef sandwiches and fries waiting for your arrival at the airport. Sounds like a plan??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Any of you guys goin' to Cedarville on March 8th? A lot of vendors there and a really nice model car contest as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The Cedarville Show was good today, a little shy on vendors but there was a line of guys waiting to enter the model car contest and a lot of the entries that I saw looked really good. Lunch at Hooters afterwards was good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hobby shops are fading away fast Brad, all over the country, as this is not the 60's anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
