Not so sure about that, unless he's redone the whole suspension too.

Lol yeah.. My cars a bit scary in the snow.. I have summer tires, I've been caught in the snow a few times coming home late from work and let me just say I did a LOT of unintentional drifting around corners and a lot of fishtailing while going straight.. A bit scary when theres rows of trees on either side.

One of those I wish I took my beater and cursed the damn weatherman for lying to me days.
