Maybe he was just russian, or didnt want anyone touching his car.
Anyway....
Man i had sooooooo mcuh fun the past few days:
On the X5 i used to have COntinental DWSs all around but then had to replace rears and got some free used michelins. The car did really well in the snow. IM from russia ive driven in snow on snow tires many times and i must say it wasnt toooo much difference. Very fun, got the back to step out in some corners a few times.
South charlotte was empty i had the roads all to myself.
I even got the Porsche out and drive around the neighborhood. It was interesting.
