    I have been to Boulder. It's nice in a sort of "snowed in can't get to the store for some food maybe I'll eat my cats in the winter" way. ;)

    Agree with these comments.

    You need a comprehensively listed inventory of all the works undertaken in the service, including the parts used, the price of each part and the labour costs, et al.

    The above document will also help when you one day go to sell your car by supplying the new buyer with a definitive service history.documentation.

    Only for the short period of time until the lakes freeze. Those with thin blood consider Oct. and Nov. car prep season.

    No reason to even put the rain tires on when a driver from the Norwegian Riviera shows up on a cloudy day. Qualifying at Donnybrooke would be a packed track but if the pavement was wet at race time.... unless you were an ice racer it wasn't even worth mounting up the rain tires, didn't stand a chance.

    Nothing like challenging for a corner where the ice is worn through, freezing water everywhere, zero visibility, along side 4 other cars, at speed. A truly messed up and twisted crowd but ones with exceptional control techniques. Brabham showed up more than once and did quite well as I remember.

    When I used to live out in Aurora (AKA- Kansas) I used to go up to Breckenridge skiing all the time. There was some lake there in the valley between there, Keystone and Copper Mountain and A Basin and they always had ice racing going on. Georgetown lake maybe?

    If I could race Ice I would. I hate the heat. I missed two races in the summer because of it and still won my class for 2010. My season is October to June. I love the rain when I can get it. I got these awesome hoosier rain tire tires had them for 3 years used them once! It never rains in Cali on raceday.

    I tried Ice and never got a handle on it. I have this little thing about seeing where I am going... Only way that happens is up front or WAY behind.
