Winter Storm Poised To Hit Minnesota Saturday
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― A winter storm is taking aim at the Twin Cities and could leave 5-9 inches of snow across eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin this weekend.

WCCO-TV meteorologist Chris Shaffer said the majority of the snow is expected to fall during the day Saturday. The storm is moving in from Colorado and Kansas and will move into southern Minnesota early Saturday.

I still have my summer tires too! I think we are alright as long as there is no real accumulation on the roads. Otherwise it will be ........

I'm going to get them swapped this Saturday, maybe get the HFP installed to if it comes by then!

Dave, that is what old clunkers are for. I have a 1990 Acura Integra that has sacrificed itself for my G35 and Si. Summer tires FTL in deep snow.

Oh, and thanks agin Tom for the awesome deal you gave me on the tires!

I was surprised how well mine did last winter...and I had the stock Michies on too. I hope I don't get over confident with these eagle F1's and do something I'll regret.

They're not cheap, but you do get what you pay for. After a rebate that's going on right now, lifetime rotation and balancing, and roadsided warrenty, they were a little over 600...but that's only thanks to Tom. It would have been a lot more otherwise!

I was at a stoplight on Shady Oak Rd. around 3:00 p.m on Friday-11/30/7. Some total a$$hat in a cat-less NHBP Si Coupe pulls up next to me. VQ Power told me there was an Si next to us. I looked over and at that moment this jerk floors his car, goes flying away, and in order to get away from us, passes a guy and nearly runs him off the road. Shady Oak Rd. goes from 2 lanes to 1 so he aced this poor guy out. The guy just plain drove unsafely.

I caught up to him at the next light. Again, he floored it away w/o even looking over. I should have played with him I guess, but I had to turn right and go on 212. Oh, would I ever love to meet this guy when I am driving my G35!

That was me... J/K. Guy sounds like a dink. Catless huh? Did it stink like Lui's? I ordered a Random Tech HF cat from a guy on here. I think I'll wait to install it until I get an exhuast. I'm liking the HKS right now. I really wanna hear a sound clip though. I'm waiting.

Definetly wasn't yours Scott. His car stank like Liu's and black smoke came out of the tailpipe. I think I have seen this guy around before, just never came face to face with him before at a stoplight. I thought that since I had an Si too, he would have acknowledged us. Instead, he acted like we had some sort of disease that he didn't want to catch. I am pretty sure that he is not on the forum. If he is and he reads this, I want a rematch with my G35.
