oh...you're still in break-in period right? how long is the break-in period?

have you driven it in the snow yet? how's the traction? Make sure you have the right tires on it, if you're gonna drive it. do NOT drive it with summer tires on...i'm sure you know this already, but i must remind you


It's under the break-in period at the moment, I may be driving down to Purdue to visit one of my buddies there, so by the time I get back I"ll be done breaking it in. As it is, I"ve got less than 300miles to go if I follow Mazda's recommendation. As far as tires are concerned, I'm stuck with the summer tires, as it's a lease car and we only get one set. It snowed today and I drove about 3 miles to get some laundry detergent...I was sliding even during second-gear idle-speed starts...fucking crazy.
damn man. be CAREFUL with those tires, if it snows. i'm dead serious....it's not good to try and drive with those tires in the snow...i would suggest not driving if the weather gets bad there.
Already figured it out hehehe. If the weather dries up a bit, I'd be happy to drive around and take some pics w/ you....I'll be done with class as of Wednesday evening.
