Doesn't look like that most of the time in the GTA.

I'm indifferent to it - I prefer alloys due to the same reasons stated above. Also why I don't drive a super beater in the winter. I don't want to drive a crappy car for 5 months of the year. I don't have to have a fancy one for winter but not a junk box.

you know what i hate about steelies? they don't plow my street first because backstreet, so the snow gets piled up in the rim if it snows enough. hop on the highway and wop wop wop, snow makes it out of balance.


atleast with rims there's enough room to sick the snow brush in there to clear the wheel. i think i might pick up a set of cheap rota slipstreams for winters. i'll need them for next year anyway because steelies don't clear the brembos.

Did my oldmans Duramax, moms Jetta and my sisters Golf. Can't beat a good impact gun, it was like an assembly line in my parents garage, lol. Then I did rear LCA bushings on the wagon and had some beers. All in all a productive day.

Did the STi, dad's Matrix and friend's Jetta (2 rear wheels were stuck) on Saturday. I love the impact gun.

I still have to swap my sister's 7th Gen after my trip

Never buy anything from CTC at full price - their sale price is the normal price.

Go to Home Depot and you'll probably find a similar/ better one for a similar cost.

The regular impact gun (not maximum) goes on sale almost every 2-4 weeks, I've had mine for 6 years and it has served me very well. Just hold out and buy it, if I see it I will let you know.

Buy a Ingersoll Rand 231C online for a wee bit over $100 in the US. 10 billion times better then any Crappy Tire brand and works really well on compressors that don't have super high CFM (Most of the 20-30gal units you'll find in peoples garages)

I've got a Snap-On IM6100 and while it's an awesome gun, it needs a big compressor. I barely pick it up now that I've got the IR.

He isn't talking about air tools.

I've got a 60 Gallon husky compressor in my garage...the mastercraft electric impact still gets used on the regular ;\)
