Did the gangbangers still shoot 20+ other 'bangers that weekend or did their Lorcins lock up?Originally Posted by RevolverRob

Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
On the book of face today, I impressed a couple of Alps-dwelling Swiss-Italians with the normal 10 F noon temperature of a sunny calm January day in St Paul. (well, for them, it's -15 C)

Being from upstate NY, I think I deal with the cold better than the heat. Don't miss the snow or negative temps though.

When the temps drop below 20 crime precipitously falls in Chicago.
But you wanna know something interesting? Temps drop in Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland and suddenly crime spikes up in Dallas, Tulsa, Little Rock, Memphis, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, and Jacksonville.
Weird, huh? It’s almost like crimes are committed by people who are mobile or something...

If you have the good Michelins on the Porsche, read the documentation about low temps. Don't want to ruin them by rolling while too cold.

Good call.
That’s an option we are considering.
Did a full lock slow turn backing out of my spot at work today. Holy crap you are right. I guess the stiff sidewalls and Ackerman effect and cold temps combined. I thought I was suddenly running over a bunch of acorns lol.
It was low 20s F this morning NW of Atlanta - too cold. I think the refugees are bringing the cold with them.
Lumpy ride for a few miles until cold tires get warmed up is pretty normal for performance tires. The nylon structural elements are typically behind it. The yummier Michelins take it to another level:

It's kinda ambiguous how you should proceed if it only gets down to 33*F. Fortunately, my car with these tires isn't my primary.Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.
Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Max Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Compound cracking is not a warrantable condition because it occurs as the result of improper use or storage, tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.

Thanks. At 20° F I’d be ice skating past Greta Thunberg on the way to work.
It never gets down to what they say, though. The Tampa Bay moderates a good bit of the air temp, usually. We are just about at the freeze line for the orange groves; mostly they are south of us. I have family in Ocala, couple hours up the road. They may see temps in the 20s being North and inland a bit.
Quite a collection of winter clothing out and about though. Nobody here has much of a wardrobe for this stuff, so you see people pile on everything they have in the closet, makes for some outlandish get ups.
