Oh well, don’t want to rub it in ;) but we got nothing but sunshine here, storm passed just north of us, but it is the coldest we’ve seen here in over 50 years for this time of the year.
We ain’t seen the last of this climate change thing, get prepared.

Not in Houston. Was 90 here earlier in week. Winter set in yesterday. It was a high of 60. Down right cold. Sunny today high around 65 I think. Just finished the first oil change in the garage wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I am about to go fill it up with Shell 93 and dog her for a bit.

Currently -5C, enjoying the drive until salt flys

Manual says, " We do not recomend operating in temperatures below 45 degrees"

The manual says they do not recommend operating the stock OEM tires below 45 degrees. The car can be operated safely far below that temp, which I proudly do, with blizzaks 255s on all corners. Life's too short.

What wheels did you use?

[MENTION=21788]Tank[/MENTION], same question for you as well. Curious what wheels you used that fit for 245 or 255 tires.

MMD Axim Silver Wheel - 19x8.5 from American muscle.

Bought them 2 yrs ago, they were the only aftermarket wheels that cleared the front calipers (just by a hair, like maybe less than 1mm)

Got some snow earlier this week in Colorado, but just have to wait a few days for a 50+ degree day to clean her up. I enjoy this car all year long - no salt to worry about around here. For the winter, I have a 275 square setup on Forgestar wheels.

Finally took the last steps of the season - gave it a good final cleaning and tucked it away in the bag for the next five months or so...... sigh.......

Mrs. Muligan bought me a snuggy for it from Weathertech (made by CoverCraft)....



Then I zipped the Car Jacket after hooking up the battery tender and throwing in a few large desiccant pouches....

Drove mine today . . . this midwest weather ain't gettin me down. Gotta drive it occasionally to fight off the withdrawal symptoms.

Winter weather? Nope, not anymore. Took a nice drive today (stayed off the interstates and away from the T-Lemming migrations. Gorgeous weather, cool air makes POWER

I have mine put away but supposed to be 60 on Monday so I'll probably get it out again.

I clayed it today (took 5 hours to wash it and clay it multiple times). Tomorrow the sealant goes and the next day the second coat. After that she is ready for the abuse of the winter and snow. Yes, not going to keep her in the garage

Interesting. That cover fit looks a lot looser than on my non-R. Does the R have a different size cover as I don't recall a dimension difference?

Gone stored now, driving my golf R APR stage 3 with DSG upgrade for the winter. Let the fun begin!!!
