You are behaving like a troll and a bot. Resurrecting old threads. Please stop.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Gets me some clicks!

PS, I am missing the Maro a bit right now. Been trodding along in the old lady MDX. What a lovely reliable workhorse it turned out to be.

Build date for the C43 wagon is next Friday.
Just like how I am missing mine...

It's gonna be a long winter, isn't it?

This is a cool program.   They autocross Camaros, second year they went to the 4-cyl turbo as it handled better.

Where is your car? Noticed the '21 wagons have started rolling into some dealers.

Had been delayed due to Covid. On the way from Germany to Halifax now. ETA late February.

Getting closer. Less road salt/rocks to blast it with I guess. Can't wait.

Will be somewhat annoying to put winters on it for a month but whatever.

Ooh nice, can't wait to see it in person... one day..

Or, you could just not.  I probably wouldn't bother if it was me...

It is just a wagon. Not like he bought a 300SL Gullwing.

Summer performance tires though.  They're gonna be useless in the snow.

I bought rims and tires a few months ago. Sitting at the shop waiting for me.

I'm now getting confused. Has a winter setup but not installing them?

yea, if it was a regular car with decent all seasons, maybe you'd just be careful for a month...but summer performance tires???...no chance...it's a pain only having them on for a month, but it's the right move.

^^^ I didn't realize that

A) you already had the winter tires - although I still wouldn't bother putting them on

B) the car comes with summer performance - I guess that would do it for me.

At this point I'd rather just take delivery in April FFS. I'm kinda hoping for some more delays.  :rofl2:

Well, you could just park it in the garage and use your other vehicle for skiing.  Not like you dont have options. Just go out the the garage once in a while to jerk off to it.   :P

^ Gotcha.  I'd be anxious to take it to the ski hill also.  Plus I want to see your winter setup.

I bought my winter setup in September. Originally the car was expected in late November or early December but due to covid delays it will now be the end of February. This winter setup will be installed when I take delivery of the car. It sucks to have to put on a winter setup for a month or so but I'm not going to drive the stock summer performance setup in winter. Especially as I will drive it to Collingwood to go skiing.

On the other hand my winter setup is pretty ace no it's not like I'm roughing it.  :P

Just wanted to quote this again, to be sure everyone has read and understood it.
