5 INCHES OF WET SNOW!
Earliest we've seen snow in Omaha in a while.
Also it was 53F yesterday and 26F this morning.

Holy early snow. I saw like 15 snowflakes here in Milwaukee today.


I like your car and wheels, but needs less wheel gap. I think with it lowered like two inches, it would look 411x better.

That sucks.... I had to put a car cover on mine yesterday since it was 90 degrees and didn't want her to get burned!

Grrrrrrrr.

Usually there is no snow until late november/ december. I think this was a freak thing. When this melts, I have another month of awesomeness until the stockers are back.

Indeed. You got a couple thousand dollars I can have for coilovers? I though as much. It'll stay like this for at least the winter. We'll see come springtime.

(That is, if I don't trade her...wink,wink)

OOoooh, secret plans. What about IPD springs, those are relatively cheap and I heard that they drop the most out of H&R's and some of the other ones. What kind of wheels are those anywhose?

IDK about secret plans. All I'm saying is now that Pontiac is gone, the GTO's have gotten cheap...

Those are Konig Twilite 17x7 with Nitto NeoGen rubber.

I've been told that is I just go with springs my ride would be bouncy and I would be likely to rub. No, no.

Oh really? I think there's a lot of cars that run stock struts/shocks with IPD springs and they look fine. I dunno, that's on 850's though, I spose it may be different for the S40.

I don't even think IPD offers springs for the 2000 S40.
We're kind of like the bastard child of Volvo.

lulz. I wouldn't know. I've never really looked. I guess they kinda do stand apart from all of the other models. Could be a cool thing too though I guess.
