Looks kind of quiet in the Canadian forum so thought I'd say hi to everyone. I found GM-Volt a few weeks ago and been having a good time reading stories going back at least 3-4 years.

Has for me, I just bought a 2nd Gen Volt a month ago and am just getting around to putting on the new winter rubber.

Here's a tip that might help people not crush their pinch welds. Many years ago I bought this jack cup saddle for my GF's Subaru. It's not deep enough for the Volt so I modified it. A second benefit is to push the back half of the saddle (left in the pic) well under the pad.

Let me know if you give a try and it works for you.

Cheers all,
Bluzer

What are "winter tires"? BTW, what is "winter"?

We only have "spring" and "summer", and our "summer" hasn't ended yet. It is 86 degrees today here in my city:

So if you moved south, you save the money and efforts spent on such "winter" activities.

LOL, well we can't all live in "Port Riche"

Yes, you can! We had a population loss so there are many unused property available. Come and join us! I moved here from NYC in 1962 (I did suffer cold "winters" with waist deep snow on my walk to school) and I will not go back.
