Well today was the day that I had to say goodbye to my Chally rims for the winter. I put my winter meats on and I removed my cutouts and put the blockoff plates on. I am ready for winter....

I wasn't supposed to but I got laid off WAY early from work this year and I cant afford to swap the title and all that crap to make my work car that my aunt gave me legit. I gotta wait to income tax time or when I start working again. So as of right now my winter/work car is sitting in my yard for the winter, lol.

Nah I want it for work. Plus it would be a slap in my Aunt & Uncles face if I sold it after they gave it to me. The fucked up thing is, I can probably get $2,500 for the damn thing.

Well, I hope you'll put them inside instead of leaving them leaning up against the fence like that. At least throw a tarp over them!

Subject: Re: See ya in the spring :( October 20th 2009, 6:37 pm

snow possible this saturday!

Subject: Re: See ya in the spring :( October 20th 2009, 6:41 pm

They can predict the weather within the next 24 hours with maybe 90% certainty. I'd say it drops 20% every day after that.

Unless you're talking about predicting the weather 20 years from now; Al Gore can do that with pin-point accuracy.

Yeah I am gonna bag them and put them raised up on some wood so they arent directly on the ground then put a tarp over them.

Yeah, take him up on that. I don't know what's to stop someone from stealing them out of your yard any more than your garage.

I appreciate it bro. They are gonna be under a balcony thing and elevated. Im gonna wrap them in those huge tire bags and then some big garbage bags and then tarp them. I think they should be fine.

You might want to chain them all together with a rubber coated chain. That way if someone does try to take them, they would have to take all 4 at once. Thats kind of hard to do.

i keep my summer tires for the truck in the bed of it all winter for weight. i guess its no different than under a tarp.

i think im gonna still wait a couple weeks to put my winters on the truck. but if i get stuck in even the slightest snow storm that thing wont move an inch. so ill cross my fingers. nothing should stick this early even if it falls.

Man, good luck with that! But I would consider taking Shawn up on his offer. Even covered & wrapped, what would a severe temp drop do to them?
