    Down here on the front range, for the little driving I do, I just run non-studded winters on my old A6. Currently Blizzaks. No comparison to "all season" tires. For years I ran Dunlop Wintersports, but they quit making the good ones so I switched over the the Blizzaks and have been happy with them. Both are high speed rated, with the Dunlops being more performance oriented. However, the Blizzaks are stickier and I'm ok with that.

    Hoping to wear these out by time and not tread use.

    In the summer, I run dedicated performance summer tires. I never did get around to buying a second set of wheels so I pay to have them changed twice a year.

    That blows chunks....looks like you were rear-ended by a large vehicle.

    Kinda puts a crunch on your day, doesn't it? I liked the van in the first picture, looks like a total in the second.

    I've been thinking of getting a Sprinter, Transit or Ram van like yours to make into a quasi-RV. I'd be interested to hear what you thought of it (pre-crunch).

    New Marlin 60 for the minion Princess. She is ready to pass the Cricket down to younger sibling.

    She has already asked Santa for glass and a bottomless ammo can.

    I'm kinda hoping it's totaled so I can just start over with a new one.
