Fantastic pictures, and what an awesome location! Read more
very cool but to much VAG. Read more
Beautiful pictures, but overall it made me very happy to live in Florida. Read more
Hakkapeliittas make my Mini Countryman the best winter car I've ever driven. Better than jeep tj and various Subarus. I'll bet my legacy gt with limited slip rear would have been amazing with them. Read more
Finland is amazing - go if you get the chance, and don't worry about the language. I spent 6 months trying to self-teach it before we went a couple of years ago (to no avail), but most everyone you encounter there speaks English, except maybe in the deepest rural areas.

Go there if you get the opportunity, it's a brilliant country! Read more
Shameless plug: I have used Nokian Vatiiva tires on my Jeep for the last 8 years and they have been nothing short of excellent. 10/10 would recommend if you live in a place that sees significant snow and ice. Read more
