Thanks for the winter tire support, that is a possibility as I am sure it would be a blast in all but the few deep snow days we get here. I've been keeping this car locked in the garage mostly and driving my old 2009 GTI because I don't want to get the first scratch on it. I believe this car would be better suited someplace with lots of winding roads, which is not exactly the Twin Cities metro. Then I got to thinking I should sell both of my cars and get something like a Golf R, but then I would need to find one scratched up so I don't need to worry about it
