Sure, it's an open invite. I give rides all the time. I managed to talk a police officer into a ride last summer. He *barely* fit in the car with a helmet, vest, belt, gun etc... His words at the end: "This car's got some nuts!".

Volvo has been sold Lou, I'm happy to be driving the Brickyard instead this winter.

Actually the car drives great in the winter (with Blizzaks of course). I've even taken it out for winter Solo2 at Capital City Speedway.

As for storing the car, I've long since realised that I rarely keep a car long enough to benefit from storing it during the winters - so why not enjoy it? As an extra precaution I get rust proofing done.

Lou, it's been a very wet fall and only last week did it finally stay below 0. We're expecting snow today. I'm heading up to the chalet this weekend. Hopefully Mont Ste Marie has been blowing snow and have at least the bunny hill open...

The ski places aren't open yet that I know of.
I have this crazy dream to keep every sports car I ever buy. Time will tell if I can actually do that.
Edit: I just heard from a buddy Tremblant has 8 runs open.

MSM had a single run on Vanier open this weekend. Good conditions really.

There's a solid 6" of snow on the ground up there compared to town.

Hey Ottawa people.
I saw Reality350 is planning a meet in Markham on June 23rd. I just thought I would help spread the hype here. I know I don't want to miss this one. The last Ontario my350Z meet looked great. ( sorry to steal your thunder church)

^Hi
I have the prokit which is said to drop 1".. I think it maybe a tad more, but I have no rubbing at all, running 19x10.5+22 rears.. and my alignment made things even nicer.
maybe try adding a little camber? laser alignment?
