A Sign Of Spring....

Passed a street sweeper today.
Always a ood sign...even if we are still 3 months away from summer wheels. Maybe longe judging by the number of potholes out there.

I ditched the snow tires yesterday and put the "no seasons" on both cars. I'lll do the summer only tires for both once the pot holes get filled, probably May 24 weekend.

I found that was even too early last year.
It's one of those things where I think you just need to "go for it"

I haven't noticed the potholes to be too bad this year...at least on the east side of town, and not going downtown.

hmmm... summer wheels = one big last snow fall. At least that happens to me when I do it...

Strive for that moment when you're only a slice of pizza and a hooker away from paradise.

The potholes are fine (if you spot them) It;s the ones you don't see that cause the damage.

I mean she has NEVER driven it and does NOT know how to work a standard tranny so I'm still stuck in this retarded game for god knows how long. Imagine a newb with 227HP guided missile of a car trying to "learn" while coming up Don Mills south from the DVP? SHE NEVER KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH A "STICK" ANYWAY! ba-dum boom tssshh :lol:

Either way, if she takes the suby I don't see Rico Suave Andrew keeping the Focus, so it's still a win win for you puppet and you get Andrew's cheap rims.
Cheap, right?
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.

Just say if you can't drive it, no one can. Pour sugar in the gas tank.

Andrew is far to practical to just dump the focus. It could very well be a battle between practicality and mid life crisis. Contribute to focuscanada.net's future!
