New Rims, snow tires. What upgrades have you done to your car thread?

Cobalt Chat - where we buy a $7K car and immediately dump $2K into it. :lol:

You wouldn't believe how many times I see a POS come through the auction that some kid bought for 500, then put a $2,000 stereo in it along with a set of $2,000 wheels and tires. And the turd is still only worth $500.

You did good BB. Good luck on your first day at your new digs!

See you hit the starter hard enough it will start.lol
Liquid I had to put snow tires on it because of where I'm driving.
I can always get my money out of them if I need to. I'm in to the car right if it doesn't work out. We will see. But thanks.

Here's a little better picture of the little car my wife hates :-)
It's a bit salty not much. New rims and tires. I went with blizzaks. Pony had it in the snow once. Much better. They are noisier than the Michelin xice but seem to have better grip. It was fun to drive the one day in snow. Hate to say it but I need more to see how it really is in it. But nut sure if we are going to get anymore so the summer yours might be going on soon.

BB, are you happier with the car now with good tires and hopefully over the mechanical issues?
