if you really want to shock people and get attention with your cars go to mt.clemens together on wednesdays. gratiot is for young kiddies and you won't find the nicer cars out their for fear of an accident or police.

I just drove mine the other day through the 9 inches of snow for the 5 miles it takes for me to get to work. No weight in the rear, just snow tires in the rear. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, as long as you take your time and dont drive like an ***, you'll be fine. It took me a while to learn that.
