Itro and Snow Pic

smarcus · 01-08-2011, 10:40 AM

I'm new here. I have a 2007 M Coupe which I got 5 months ago. This is my 4th M car including a Z3 M Coupe, an E46 M3 and an E36 M3. All have been year round daily drivers. Besides introducing myself I wanted to share a story.

Last night I drove home in a storm dropping a foot of snow. My route was about 10 miles of hilly back roads. When I got to my road it had around 8 inches on it and had not been plowed. I had snow coming up over the hood because the splitter was below the snow line but I made it through. For snow tires I am running 225/50/17 Michelin Arctic Alpin PA3 winter performance all the way around. Lots of tire spinning and white knuckling but I made it nonetheless (I've use better snow tires on some of my other M's but for dry winter conditions these Michelins can't be beat). Here is a pic of my car in my driveway this morning after being plowed out. The toboggans are there cause we just got done sledding down the driveway.

Regards,

Sean

I grew up on Lindencrest but now I am in the King St area. I used to play Richter alot but have been to busy the last few years to get out much. Great golf course. I went over Middle River trying to get home during the storm and went past the 5th hole.
