Sweet Allah how I love craigslist!

Post by biggreen96 »

I just bought some hankook ice bear snow tires for $25 dollars. The still have the paint between the tread and molding nips! Dude sold his s2000 and had them laying about for two years and while these are staggered 205/55-16 fronts and 225/50-16 rears they have the exact same diameter, soo for 25 I'm not gonna gripe![/url]

Holy crap. I had a set and really liked them with my LSD, especially in the cold and dry. Not so great in the snow, but I've had worse.

It is a Subaru but I need all the traction I can get! Vf39s have a way of breaking loose my old snow tires in 3rd gear! I bet I'd be spinning all seasons in 4th :twisted:

Damn dude! I'm jealous, you're right by me too. My WRX wheels need tires, but I suppose it would be ass backwards to get snow tires on the 16s, lol.

If you got some all seasons or summer tires in that size though, I could take them off your hands :D

Nice - I thought I did well when I got General Altimax Arctics for $78 a piece.

All season tires suck in the snow, even with AWD. I got stuck in my driveway once with Kumho ASX's on my forester. Once i dug the car out, I went online and bought new tires...

Try having the speedo read 140 in 5th on a really slippery street with a vf10!

(I was on Summer tires... But NEVER got stuck once!)

My Mazda uses 205 50 17s and the performance "ultra high performance" all seasons aren't all that bad in the snow in OEM Goodyear Eagle RS-A or the much cheaper Avons I have now. I was thinking of getting 16's and snows when I bought the car, but steelies were more than cheap alloys and the car turned out to be fine, even driving in a blizzard with the highway unplowed at 3 AM to get to the hospital when my mother's house burned down. The dry/wet performance tires I got for the Subaru were hit or miss—one was like a racing slick, one almost like tank treads, and the others somewhere in between. Keep in mind, Duchess is fwd. My GLs, also fwd, would pound through plowed-in snow banks on high-mileage all season tires. I think the 60 and 80,000 mile tread life ratings necessitated very deep tread channels. Man, those $40-60 13's were great! I regularly embarrassed AWD SUVs in snow in all the Subarus.

I saw an ad on craigslist for ABDL the other day. I had to look that up—Adult Baby Diaper Lover. I had heard of it, but didn't know it had its own acronym (Detroit used to have funny personals in The Orbit). This was supposedly a 19 year-old girl. How the hell do you get so bored with sex by 19 that you're willing to go to that level of disgusting? I felt like responding with interest so that I could get some pictures of this broad with a soiled diaper and book it on out of there. Problem is, funny a story as that would be, it's not one you can tell too often (yes, I recognize when things are inappropriate—I just usually choose not to care).

You got the wrong tires then...I TRIED to get stuck last year, and I couldn't, I also drove 9 miles in a snow storm at 60mph without a problem.

AWD Subarus have little trouble going through snow. It's that stopping thing that throws no-season tires for a loop.

I didn't know it had its own acronym either. I saw it once on Jerry Springer, but was lucky enough to avoid encountering it again until now. Thanks a lot Steve.

What's funny is how they so adamantly insist there's nothing sexual about it. I've read enough Freud to know better though.

I originally saw an ad years ago in Detroit for a dude wanting his diaper changed, but that was The Orbit and there was always weird shit in there and I hadn't seen it since. Until now. And, no, it's not necessarily sexual in terms of genital stimulation, but not all of sex is that alone. I'm always fascinated by the weird shit people do. How the hell does one even think of that, never mind go about finding someone else who's into it (I guess that's why they've got personals out). I know guys who have trouble finding chicks to do anal, never mind shitting yourself or cleaning their shit.
