    Curt & Harbor Freight.

    Fitted a Curt hidden hitch and assembled a small HF trailer. The perfect combo.

    Hey...WELCOME TO M/A!! You have made a wise decision, especially in this age of costly fuel. Even though our cars run on premium, just think of the absolutely FUN miles in between fill-ups! Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
    :Thumbsup:

    By the way...it also runs well in the snow, if you get a set of dedicated snow tires and wheels!

    Thanks for the welcome.
    I read your mind...last month...16' wheels with Blizzaks are in the garage waiting for winter. And it won't be too long up here in NY. The guy I bought them off said his wife's soft top drove like nothing he's driven before in snow! Looking forward it.
    Also, I am running ethanol free premium gas from Stewarts. More and more gas stations are doing it around here, Stewarts being the only big name at this point. Hopefully others will take the cue and supply unadulterated fuels soon.
    Safe motoring.

    If you have never run Blizzaks, get ready for some FUN winter driving! I have 16" wheels with 195-55-16 Blizzaks on my wife's MCS and I run 185-65-15" Blizzaks on mine. Their performance just never ceases to amaze me. :Thumbsup:

    I didn't trade my Tundra CrewMax, but after a year with the Mini in the garage, the big old truck has lost all its appeal. I barely drive it, it's for sale. and with the cash I'll get for it, we will be adding another Mini to the stable :)

    And Blizzaks are fantastic tires - I used to have them on a sports car 15 years ago already, and the following winter I sold my 4X4 - the car with front wheel drive and these tires was superior in snow.

    Got my new/used 2011 clubman last month....am thrilled. My wife who I bought it for is not so, little scared of the power. Other one wasn't a turbo!
