The snow today? Yeah ...my fault - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2009-03-09, 10:19 AM

Sorry everyone, I put my summer tires on the SVX on Sunday.

Stupid weather report said it was supposed to be clear all week long, so I thought I'd stack the snow tires in the garage and try to get an early start to spring. That worked well... within 12 hours it went from upper 50's to 26 and 4" of snow on the ground.

At least I've got new tires on the truck for trudging around in the snow/ice.

moose · 2009-03-09, 10:30 AM

Shoot. I have been on my summer tires all winter.

cody · 2009-03-09, 10:55 AM

Yah, WTF. I looked at the weather on Saturday or something and there was no sign of the 6"+ that we got at my house.

MPREZIV · 2009-03-09, 11:07 AM

Don't take all the blame Scott... I got a flat on my winters late last week, and instead of repairing it, I said "F it, I'll just swap them. We won't get any more snow..." Yeah, I was wrong.

ScottyS · 2009-03-09, 11:09 AM

I need to get my wheels and tires to Cory for installation, so it's definitely not my fault.

MattR · 2009-03-09, 12:07 PM

That was insane this morning. I was headed in at 6:30 and didn't see any plows. Anyway I may have helped with the storm, I washed the FJ Sunday

TrueNative · 2009-03-09, 12:19 PM

A little blame here to, as I washed and waxed the car on Sunday.

sperry · 2009-03-09, 12:21 PM

I think 80% of Reno washed their cars over the weekend. There was a massive line at the coin-op/touchless carwash on Double-R.

van · 2009-03-09, 12:59 PM

I guess I'm somewhat at fault too, re01r's went on yesterday

WRX06TR · 2009-03-09, 01:01 PM

Sweet I am the only one in town with a dirty car and snows

cody · 2009-03-09, 01:19 PM

No.

DARKSTI · 2009-03-10, 01:16 PM

My car is also brown instead of black and I still have the WS-60's on

WRX06TR · 2009-03-10, 01:17 PM

Ok, so I'm not the only one...lol. I think I will wash and wax it this weekend tho, so I apologize in advance for the storm I cause

ScottyS · 2009-03-10, 02:09 PM

Dude, just don't do it before Saturday, I have a rifle match to run.

GusGus91 · 2009-03-10, 03:20 PM

I'm washing mine tomorrow before i go to sacramento. so i am also sorry for the rogue storm that i will start.

Tahoe C5 · 2009-03-11, 06:01 AM

I put my summer tires on 3/6 and left for AZ! It's high 70's here and I have to go see the Cubs play, :-)

I had that happen too. Man, the drive to work was scary! I spun out before I even reached McCarran! And I even had my mud grapplers on. From then on out, I did no more than 20mph. That was a nice 45 minute 7 mile commute.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-11, 01:45 PM

^ I like your racing slicks.

cody · 2009-03-11, 01:55 PM

Looks safe.

I'll be watching Cubs-Mariners, or more probably asleep on the grass in the outfield lawn area. For $7 I don't care, it just makes me think spring. Maybe I'll run into Pat Riley!?
