Commute in from the sticks was a little dicey, thought I was going to get blown into the ditch a couple times. Roads got much worse once I hit the city limits....go figure

The P6's have done pretty good for me but winters for sure next year....the wife is gonna be driving my baby

^Can I ask why? My main concern is grip and cornering ability. Don't really care about road noise and that kinda thing. Getting BFG KDW2 when I get around to upgrading my wheels.

question for you guys. Where is another location to mount a gauge besides the dash in front of the speedo and the pillar? ( That will look good and not stick out)

yah i will have to look at this tommorow

center heater vent may work good, little nervous to cut a whole in the dash, at least could replace a vent

i'll put some pic's of the car up this weekend as i have done lots to it lately

ya i know. i got it maybe 10 hours ago and only had about an hour to actually play with it. so i'm still trying to figure out where the best spots are for it to go. and it can go under water and be placed on the outside of my car as well
