Ya its pops warehouse, not a bad spot to work on cars in the winter... Krueger has some ideas for a photoshoot in there with some lighting effects and fog. Still no air tools there tho, trying to convince him to get some haha. And yea I was unsure of the roof spoiler at first, it is subtle enough it has grown on me

Also, does anyone have experience with Continental ExtremeContact DWSs in the snow? I'm looking at replacing the Goodyears with a set.

I would definitely check your alignment. I would assume something with the toe is off as well. Or if the bushings are already weirdly worn out that is causing the fronts to camber in excessively. Which I would highly doubt with the car only having 25k on it.

In regards to the DWS's, I've had them on two of my cars. A FWD vw and the stockers on the G ( which I only have ridden on for like 2k miles since I got the car ). My opinion is for an all season tire that it is a spectacular tire. Nothing like a dedicated winter tire though.

Mancini's is always good... I think Pittsburgh Blue is over-rated, I think WildFire is pretty good especially considering they are in a mall ... you gotta love Fogo De Chao though too.

Thats awesome for the product itself, but that will price the IPL out of "normal" people buying it I'd assume... somewhat like the GT-R.

"normal" people cant afford C63 or M3s either though, and that is the market that type of vehicle is going to be catering to.
