You should really find a buddy with a garage.

So far its worked fine, no issues at all. I know its not the most economical but it saves me in the winter, and yes I wear them down alot in the summer due to the rubber being softer and not made for summer driving. In the winter I pack the trunk with 2 30Kg deicer buckets from Costco for weight but it still spins occasionally in the winter.
The only people I know in this area live in condos with parking stalls that cost 10k plus. If it wasnt for this damn economic climate I would have got a Ford Edge last year. Now my cash is just sitting in the bank it calls to me, 52" plasma isnt big enough, get a new tv even though you dont need one.
I have been here 5 years, last year winter was the worst by far. I even slipped a bit going up centre street from downtown. Likely casuse I force myself to go the gym on the weekends in the early morning and the storm had just ended around 10amish when I left.
