That'll depend as much on your tires as it does with your car itself.

Get good all season tires or winter tires and you will be just fine, if you drive right.

I usually had winter studded tires but the cheapest you could find. Since money is not an issue as it was, any recommendations on good winter tires ?

She got dropped off this morning to get my tint. I went with 35% all around. I get it back tomorrow I am having withdrawal

I had the first ones on my old car and they were awesome so i think this list is acceptable.

I live in Newfoundland, Canada. The lil island sticking off the side, haha.

Thanks for the link ! $95 a tire is not bad, prob close to $120 for the same thing here a tire but I am going to need them. I am going to get them put on their own steel rims too. I have had my fair share of sliding into sidewalks down big hills. The worse is my road. It is dirt and they don't salt/sand it or hardly plow it.

That's exactly what I am going to do.

So I got my car back, the two doors and the two side panels in the back were COVERED in the stuff they use to put the tint on. I was suppose to be to Honda 10 minutes prior for the bug deflector so I left and called. They said "Oh just wipe it down with water !"

Very unimpressed. Honda cleaned it off for me. Got home taking out groceries, and they forgot to put some pieces back in the trunk. I called and got pretty upset. They were closed and told me to come back in the morning. I am not going to recommend this shop to anyone in town, even if they are the only ones in town who tint. It looks sweet, but hell, they are quite unprofessional

How do I upload pics again ?!

Ya you have to watch out for places that do a good job, but don't really care about the customer satisfaction.

And make a free account on like photobucket.com or any website and when you upload it they will give you an image code you copy and paste on here.

I tried doing that with imageshack and it just ended up giving me dead pics. Is this a site that don't work well here ?

I guess I will try photobucket. Pics to come
