5 more days till the "law" allows us to pull out cars without winter tires in Montreal. (It is illegal between Dec 15 and March 15). Which is fine, because i don't usually drive it when there is excessive snow/salt on the ground.

The real question is whether or not I should wait till the roads get fixed, as is usual following the winter destruction imposed on them by winter.


Or maybe ill just drive around the neighborhood,

or maybe just a few trips down the closest highway.

Or maybe i need help.

Its been a long 3 months.

 

Good. I will be in Toronto all week so hope to see some nice vehicles that are eager to get out.

get out.. I did yesterday too as there is no snow on the roads but lots still left in the woods. It was the first time I ever went snowmobiling in the morning and took the Porsche for a ride in the afternoon. I also just run summer tires and park it for winter.

 

There is a big difference between Toronto and Montreal, it would be like comparing Dallas to New Orleans. Ontario doesn't have the same laws as Québec.

 

Dude!
i'm in montreal too and the 997 is out since friday.
got there:
http://www.saaq.gouv.qc.ca/saaqclic/...ires/index.php

and fill the "Winter Tires - Exemption" form. you need to provide a reason why you need an exemption to winter tire law. in the choices there is:
To put a vehicle back on the road (licensing a stored vehicle)
this is designed exactly for us! and it's free!

make sure to print the filled from, sign it, and bring it in the car.
cops will be looking at you...

i'm enjoying the porsche, top down, sun glasses with a tuque :-)

 

Most excellent.

I love following the letter of the law :-))

 

which area are you?
i'm in saint-jean sur richelieu

 

Fortunately I am not familiar with the difference in the laws between the two cities, but I am very well aware of the differences of the cities themselves.

Personally I prefer Montreal over Toronto for its European feel. Toronto is one of the cleanest big cities I have the pleasure of visiting on business regularly. I have probably hosted more tours of CN tour for clients/staff than the locals!

Cheers,
Dave

Same here, cant wait to see how my new wheels and LED taillights are going to look outside my winter storage area..but I think I'LL wait another month,way to many potholes and rocks...

 

I know, but the itch needs to be scratched!

 

Good to see someone from TMR.
