Freaking freezing this morning. 7 degrees when I left for work at 5 am. Car struggled a bit to start up. It cranked and the dome lights flickered and finally started. I believe this is because I have a e30 mix in the tank? anyone experience this?

Just wanted to see if it was because of the ethanol, might switch back to 93 for now. I've experienced it struggling before but nothing like this morning.

I think I'm buying new winters for the wagon. Rear tire has a slow leak not sure why, I was hoping the winters on there would last through this winter but I may just suck it up and buy some WS80s.

$70 for winter snow tires with good reviews. I just bought 4 for the wagon. I saved $50 a tire instead of the WS80s.

Speaking of which, I bought a new battery today!

And new wheels and tires are on. It's like a new car.

I wish my 330 can fit 16" wheels. Just picked up a set of 17" snows. 400$ shipped. Sucked

I found them to be a little ostentatious but I'll let it slide this one time

Not at all. It really completes the wheel. Pulls it all together.

From wikipedia: The center caps is the 1st circle of the wheel, before the wheels will move in circles on the road or the track there is the inner circle, the center circle, the 1st circle, the center cap. It is the 1st circle before the outer circle of the rim and before the outer circle of the tire. The 1st circle to rule them all and on rims you finds them.
