Got home safe. Took 2 hours and 10 minutes. Roads about 30 miles from my destination were wet/slippery but not snowy. Almost like it rained a bit then froze. :\

This weekend I can go and count birds who visit back yards.
Yup, it will be national garden bird count day.

Yeah, right.
I don't have a garden

Good song, great message: F**kin' Perfect - P!nk | Music Video | VEVO.

The title and chorus make it a little NSFW.

She has great songs and videos. Her live performances are usually better than the studio recordings.

My road is covered and I'm ANTSY to get out of my house. Looks like I'm going to see how the Z4 does in the snow.

I went less than a quarter of a mile and I got stuck sideways in the road. Two people stopped to help me get in a driveway. I got my neighbor to pull me home with his 4-wheeler. Runflat tires can suck my balls.

I realized when I got home that I would have been FINE if I had turned OFF the traction control. I realized that was really f'ing me up.

I've been looking at AWD cars (A4, TT, 328xi, etc) but its not really worth it for the few days a year that it gets bad here.

HA! Glad you didn't run into someone/something. If I had a BMW, I would totally leave it at home when it was snowing. Unless of course, it had the AWD and whatever. :P

What besides warped rotors could cause the steering wheel to shimmy while braking? I got new brakes/rotors (Brembo) on the front about 3 weeks ago. The shimmying stopped ... but, it is back again (but not nearly as bad). Could a bent back wheel cause this (I have one)? Or ... ???

Did you break in your rotors. Rotors need to be gently broken in. First soft easy stops, with a cool down period, then a little harder,another cool down, then a little harder,cool down, till you get to a panic stop situation. I read your post a while back about checking them when you got your car back and wondered to myself if you had done this process. I don't think a bent rim on the back would transfer the pulsing to the steering wheel.

Will it do it all the time, in every braking situation? Easy stop as well as more aggressive?
