Sorry to hijack the post, but.

Tire rack has WS-50 snow tires in size 215-55-R17 for $75 each. Special closeout price if anyone is interested. Mine showed up yesterday.

I am in Vermont, so yeah, I need snow tires.....

This is off topic, but let's say i go over a pot hole and i have a cast wheel. it's going to be damaged 100% and i cannot repaired right? and as a forged, there are higher % that it wouldn't get damaged?

I'm in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria near Springfield Metro.

my350z.com has an active VA/DC contingent if you're interested in some Z/G meets.

The VA/DC/MD contingent on this board isn't bad either. Good to know that other peeps around the area are 2nd gen'ers. I figured they'd have to be, since I see about 1000 2nd gen G's on the way to work everyday.

I don't see many sports though, everyone has X's for those uber terrible VA snowstorms where we get about 2-4 inches of snow.

Haha I think we broke 3" out in my way, but I'm a bit farther west so we typically will get more snow than you guys closer to DC. I remember because I took the car out to a nearby empty parking lot, turned off VDC, turn wheel all th eway to the right and let it rip. I was surprised by how fun that was.

I'll have to check out the Z boards then.
