Lucky you! That's why I love Michigan too! "...O'ER THE LAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEE..."

That's just not an option here. That's why I figured $1500 was the minimum for getting a road-worthy beater around here that can pass both mandatory inspections.

Are the spent tires snow tires?
They're all-seasons. I've done some checking and there are good used tires in this size (205/55R16) available locally. And lots of winter tires, some on rims.

Seems like people sell their cars and either forget about the winter set in storage in the garage, or they hold on to them to sell separately.
