      BFG Rivals + snow = ?

      Well, just as advertised, the Rivals are just summer tires and not meant for year-round driving like we had hoped up here in northern Illinois.... ;)

      Best thing to do is sell that 2 wheel drive shop truck, to me of course, and buy a 4x4 for shop duties. We can handle this without Jeff. I know he's out of town today.

      I've only been in the pro touring world for less than a year so I had never heard about you guys before, but you said northern IL. Thats exactly where I live so I looked up you guys online and you had a shop in crystal lake an now Woodstock! I live in Grayslake. The work you guys do looks fantastic btw!
      I always tell others to take the high road, that way there's more room for me on the low road

      Dale,

      I'll take you up on that sometime! It is wayyyy too boring in the winter here, i'm dying to get out and drive! I'll do just about Anything involving cars at this time of year. Can't wait for spring to roll around so we can get back out and have fun.

      Dale quit whining lol that's how you sharpen your skills during the winter. You should do a event 20$ say you'll place higher then any Californian....but watch out for the Tuckers they might be in NC but they did start DSE when they lived in Michigan...could be competition.
      Just busting your balls, now get back to work on the gremlin and post the pictures on your twitter account

      Oh man.... It's so boring out here in California too. Boring light clouds and sun... 50* weather... It's so boring driving our cars through the hills and along the coast during the winter. I hate winter!!!

      That's how I mastered my skills so to say...18 living at home put the Chevelle away for the winter and drove dad's truck,guess that's one thing that we have over the boys from the sunny south. Way easier to learn on snow then dry pavement

      Farm and Fleet is actually one of the best drifting spots around here, giant parking lot!
      And snow chains are illegal here :( but you can still buy them for off-road use
