Sounds like Wayne has the experience.

BTW, did you get my email a few weeks ago?

Replacing the 20s will be expensive enough let alone 22s.

It should handle your winters excellent with an 18" winter wheel package.
LOL, for some reason Wayne I complteley forgot about you being at my house as well this summer. I am not sure how I could forget seeing how you went through my screen door!

I have no doubt that I will be sticking with Blizzaks (DM-V1s), however if anyone has any other good suggestions let me know.

I picked up Continental ExtremeWinterContacts. If you find a deal on those, definitely look into them. Every where i have read they have been getting great reviews. I am very anxious to get them on my car and take it for a spin in some white stuff.

Thanks Bob. I haven't seen any of the new 2011s on the road yet since they've only been out for a couple of weeks, but I certainly see a ton of the previous gen Edges on the road here.

Though I havnt driven the edge, we did rent a new flex when we were last in las Vegas, and I can safely say it was very easy to live with. I can't imagine the edge being much different aside from the fact it doesn't resemble a cinder block and the reduced space.

Wow, I missed this one Shane......The Edge is very highly rated and built by the only Domestic manufacturer I'd buy......in fact we got Margaret a new Fiesta for her Red Cross job and tooling around town tho it does feel comfortable enough to tour in.
Post up when you get the new Edge, Shane.

Great pictures Colin. That's a flashy looking rig and probably perfect for the canines and doing the home visits!

Sweet ride Colin. I love the new Fiesta and would certainly be my first choice in that category!

Colin, Marg's ride looks perfect for getting around town, nice choice.
Your winter ride sounds pretty good too Colin. How about a pic of that new Crosstour.
