I changed the oil and put the z into storage Sunday (using a spot in my parents garage). At least my new dd gets a spot in my one car garage.

I also put away the Z this weekend. Powered through the 45* temps on Saturday and washed/detailed as well. She's under the cover until March/April

Did you end up getting the Golf?

I am thinking about replacing my stock Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires with a set of all season tires for occasional winter driving (non snowy days). Any reputable tire shops you guys recommend for mounting the tires near western burbs? Thanks
