I wake up this morining and look out my window...and was like WTF!!!:banghead:

I think you're fine. Gavin's car is much lower from what I remember. Just raise it up a bit, or did you lose the wrench?:rofl:

If you want tires, I need to buy another set next week. Maybe we can get a deal or something.

i don't have height adjustables.

i have winters i'm just too lazy to put them on so i tested the car with my summers and the roads r fine.

it's funny. the slush collects in my sideskirts and there's like a steady stream of melted slush running from my car and puddling underneath

I drove my car with my all seasons today, I thought it was fine. When I went out for luch the roads were wet and by the time I left work they were dry. Made good use of my heated seats and remote start today though :poosie: :bigpimp: :D

Today snow wasn't bad at all, by the time it hit the ground it was water, so it was just like driving in rain.

Hahaha, e-brake snow drifts are the shit! Doesn't your daytona have a foot e-brake? Hand-e brakes are more fun, that was a drawback of getting the daytona for me. It'll probably save me some reckless repairs though :rofl:

its all good, the jetta is ma witer biotch, and it has hand.

the best part of the daytona in the snow is you have a lot more power, which means a lot more spin, which means a lot more fun. and there are still reverse 360's, 720's, etc.

i'm sure you can still use your e-brake, but it'll just take a little more getting used to.

i need to fix the e-brake on the jetta, and get new rotors/pads. damn rear discs.
