    Snow chains vs socks?

    I believe chains are required by law in some areas. If she is required to have them available, I would prefer that they are as effective and easy to use as possible.

    Snow chains vs socks?

    I have zero experience with snow chains or socks. Without any experience I would guess that chains would be much better than socks. My daughter, who just moved to Seattle, is asking advice on what are the the best tire chains and if socks should be considered. She plans on driving her AWD Audi...

    taller than stock tires

    What about clearance in the wheel well? Particularly on front tires. Might they rub on sharp turns? What about winter, when the wheel wells get packed with snow?

    What are your thoughts on White Castle?

    I love the taste of White Castle burgers. They are unique. But, I always pay the price a few hours down the road. For that reason I only indulge about once a year when that crave hits me : )

    MX-5 tire choices

    I was specifically interested in an all season tire. Although I don't plan on driving in winter an unexpected breakdown of my daily driver might necessitate driving in cold conditions.

    MX-5 tire choices

    I'm running Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 on my 2016. I'm very happy with the wet weather performance. The sidewall is perhaps a bit softer than the oem tires, but, I feel they perform well in my limited hard cornering/spirited driving. They are in your price range, or at least they were...

    Too soon to buy a project car for my daughter?

    Get a cheap NB Miata. Easy to wrench on. Being a convertible may peak her interest. Definitely teach her to drive a manual. I taught all three of my daughters and they really seemed to appreciate it when they were older.

    My choice would be a 2019 or 2020 v6 Sienna. Particularly if you can get CPO w/extended warranty. Looks like several available in Utah. example: https://www.edmunds.com/toyota/sienna/2020/vin/5TDKZ3DCXLS065539/?radius=200

    Battery, Alternator, or Starter?

    If the ride from the drive-in was short and the car wasn't driven since then, it could be that you just deeply drained the battery at the drive-in and the parasitic drain over the weekend was enough to prevent startup. Top it off with a full charge and it could be fine.
