Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

Congrats to the Cardinals.

Didn't have a horse in the race, so I'll usually cheer for the underdog or the team that's never won one, so I guess I was pulling for the Rangers. But after game 6, I couldn't help but want S.L. to pull off the miracle.

Not a huge baseball fan, but I don't care who you are, THAT was some d@mn good baseball.

I hear you guys on the winter tire crisis. While my new ride is FWD, I'm thinking the Michelin All Season's are going to suck in the snow. Too much power, and the 18's are pretty wide to boot. My last ride (VW CC) had 17's that were the same width, and while it did pretty decent, there were some days that were downright scary, and the new ride has more power and bigger tires yet = not going in the right direction (literally)

I'm looking into some Blizzaks. Not sure what I'm doing - just tires or the complete package, but I need to do something. We had our first frost last night. Someone at work said it was snowing this morning, but nothing stuck In the meantime, I think the only thing to do is to drown my sorrows with some Capt. Morgan and pretend it's summer again.

the blizzaks are awesome, I drive a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special it sits 4.5 inches off of the ground and has chrysler prowler gearing so it accelerates quickly.

I bought my first set of blizzaks from a former 300M Enthusiasts club member, it was a tire rack package , he used them one winter, then traded his M in on a magnum. when I needed a nother set I was fortunate enough to find another club member selling a one winter old set from tire rack, so I actually have 2 sets of steel wheels, but anyways, I went thru snow and sleet/ice that had 4wdS SLIDING ..

I switched to the winterforce last year when I found a great deal locally.

another place to check for tires online is tires-easy.com

I actually got my summer tires from them because they beat tireracks price

 

[Andrew015]

Appreciate the tip. I've always purchased from Tirerack, but will have to give Tire-Easy a shot. Thanks for passing that along.

you are quite welcome, I actually stumbled on them on ebay... their price with shipping beat tirerack by somewhere around 20 bucks per tire for a set of 4,

I bought them and had them shipped straight to my mechanic,

worked out great I ordered the tires, dropped of my factory rims, he called when he had them mounted and ready to go on the car, saved me time hanging around the garage..

Wow, snow in October for the Northeasterners. . .be careful out there. As for Friday, I was at church working the Rocktoberfest Harvest Party and am now at home enjoying a nice glass of Cab with a baguette and some brie cheese. Very enjoyable. Hope you all have a great weekend ahead. I have a date with my son tomorrow at Disney, and a date with my man at food and wine on Sunday. Should be a wonderful, Disney filled, weekend.

Your Friday night sounded about the same as mine. I had a few glasses of wine, bread, cheese and some yummy chocolate. It sounds like a great weekend planned with your son and your man. I need to get back to WDW for a fix. Hopefully, that will be soon. Just think of me today when it is going to be 30 degrees and snowing.

Wow all this manly guy talk! I didnt know I could consult the DIS boards on purchasing tires! Next time I know.

I thought the same thing...Where were all my DIS girls to talk about shopping,hair, and wine Since the only thing I know about tires is that my car has 4.

Hey that's what I do at work!!! Make up the answers!

As long as you sound like you know what you are talking about you are all set!!!


I don't have much planned for the weekend. I plan on staying inside, drinking a glass of wine, and catching up on my DVR. Or maybe I can just plan my next trip to WDW, since I need to think warm because the snow is headed my way.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

hey my little rain drops!
so my weekend consists of catching up on some house cleaning, some sorority work (yeah when you're a volunteer, you have some reports to read) and shopping for some winter clothes. I was in Albany, NY this week and as I was teaching a class, it started to snow!!! Seriously??? it's October!! so as I was pumping gas as the snow covered my car and me, it occurred to me that I have no winter clothing. when the fire happened I shopped for spring and summer stuff...guess it's time to find some hoodies and sweaters.

so tomorrow I will be in the second happiest place for me....I get to go to my very first NY Giants game. I've been a fan since I was in high school, and I've never been to a professional game so as a gift from my church and choir I get to go tomorrow. hopefully it won't be raining or snowing....so if you hear any insane screaming coming from Jersey, it's probably me!

 

[Andrew015]

Congrats Diva! That should be a blast. Hope the G-Men take care of business.

I hear ya with the snow in October.... Seriously? I think it's gonna be a crappy winter

I know right?! one of my sorority sisters' lives in Denver and she said she already has 8 inches...so can't get that

 

[disneypryncess]

Since the only thing I know about tires is that my car has 4.

I'm with you there!!

Is this common?
A friend living in Ohio this morning woke up to -3C temperatures. I know it's late October but that's Arctic. I'm British & that even makes me shiver.

The stadium is about 10 min from my house so I'll listen for your screaming!Bundle up & have fun!!

hopefully your car has 5 tires, without a spare you're screwed if you get a flat..

I think it is a little early for everyone to have snow...except maybe the extreme north of the country. I'm supposed to be going to my uncle's house today which is 1 hour away and they already have about an inch or so on the ground..it's only raining at my house.

not so much common as it is freaky. I would expect weather like this in Canada but in Jersey...not so much.
I will agree with one thing....this is gonna be a sucky winter.

I Gotta admit, the information I read on those Artiks was impressive. I'm seriously thinking that's what I'll end up getting...

That's what the SSC is for. We aren't all just fun and debauchary... We do occasionally have useful conversations to help others out with decisions and stuff.

Plus, I think this may actually be one of the first manly men kinda conversations we've had. I think the tangents in this group have traditionally been more of the Shoe and "Get the guy sick so he has a deep sexy voice" variety. (Hmmm... Ladies, It's cold and flu season again.... looks like you may be able to get some nice treats coming up... )

Well I do still have 1 or 2 extra rooms at the Condo in Florida next week. It's the perfect opportunity for us northerners to warm up before dealing with the impending sucky winter.

It's Jersey. There is also signs of Insanity coming from that direction, so I think we've become desensitized.


I'm seriously starting to wonder if Jack Skellington decided to visit Christmastown again this year and bring some ideas back with him. ugh. What's worse is the power is blipping today too.

No. It's not common. not in the slightest. It's downright wrong to be precise.

I hate winter. I seriously need to move down south.
