It don't get warm driving it to or from work (14 miles) in the winter.. so I drive the van which gets warm in less than 2 miles in winter.:eek: If the weather is bad, I drive the truck. Its 4x4 so its better in the snow and ice, but it don't warm up much...

    St. Louis Is Finalizing A Proposal for TDIFest 2014

    This sounds very good.. I would really like to get to go to another Fest. I can't take a lot of time off from work to travel to one near the coasts, but will try to get enough time off work to get to one in St.Louis. I hope it all comes together!

    Ultra Guage users?

    Midwesterners: When are your snows coming off?

    Hi DZ, I didn't take the snows off my jetta last year, but I didn't drive it much at all last year. 4-5K miles. I expect that I will take them off in early April time frame this year. By the time the snows have melted and its warm enough to change the tires in my driveway without a coat...
