I love listening to people who think all-seasons are the end all for tires. My dad could not wrap his head around why I would want a dedicated set of summer and winter tires. To him, it's just more money.

Then again, he believes every car should be AWD and can't ever get stuck with all-seasons. I really want to get some winter tires for the Z just to show him a RWD car can outperform a AWD SUV on all-seasons. Especially the junk kinds he buys. I'll pony up the extra $30 a tire to get pirelli's or bridgestones. He can stick with his Generals or Continentals.

May take a whack at replacing the motor mounts in the Focus this season as well. Everything vibrates rough at idle. Won't feel bad breaking a $3000 sedan. Good practice hahahaha

With FedEx you'll find shipping to be far less expensive just by signing up for an account with them. Then pack yourself, print the label, and just drop it off at any fedex or fedex office. I don't know if this is the case with other carriers, but I have an account with Fedex for this reason.

One way you might be able to game the system a little bit... selling something on ebay comes with pretty well discounted shipping rates. Set up a private auction to "sell" the exhaust for a dollar or something (to save on the auction fees) and print the label through ebay. Never done this, but the thought has crossed my mind for needing to ship large items in the future.

My STI with DWS06 will do circles around your Z with snows.

Yea, but those are dedicated performance all-seasons. Not the low generic no name brand most people get.
