I'm 200 km. west of Edmonton but you're likely not coming west this way. Watch approaches in and out of service stations on your trip. There are often major pits where they meet the main road. Have a safe trip and watch for wildlife on the road.

You'll find some willing takers for your rims w/ tires here. You could go more low, just concerned about all the roads that go unplowed when it does snow in Vancouver. The only time I got stuck in the big snowstorm of 2008 was going downhill on an unplowed residential road. I had to get out of my car every 10 feet to dig snow out of the engine bay of my lowered Corolla. It had good winter tires and never got stuck anywhere else at all. With coils though you can just go to 4x4 mode when the snow falls. I'm 200 km. west of Edmonton but you're likely not coming west this way. Watch approaches in and out of service stations on your trip. There are often major pits where they meet the main road. Have a safe trip and watch for wildlife on the road. Happened to me on my way to Edmonton from Calgary in 2004. It was the middle of the night and I totally didn't see a fricken huge ass pothole pulling into a gas station. |

Welcome to the club and the Wet Coast! Awsome looking car! Once you're out here you'll have to forget one very important thing... The word "Leafs". Just buggin' ya man.  Again, welcome. You'll find the people on this site are friendly and always willing to help out a fellow member. |

Hate to say it but I must admit I'm a Bruins fan, hopefully I won't get excluded or banned  And I'll be sure to keep those tips in mind, I'll probably not drive in the winter anyways, save money on insurance and I'll just be on the bus up to Whistler every weekend anyway haha. I would sell the wheels and tires, but they have a lot of curb rash sorry to say lol. But yeah can't wait to get out west and meet you guys, should be a lot of fun. |

Remember how I said we are friendly and willing to help out? I lied. Seriously though, the fact that you aren't actually from Vancouver you can obviously cheer for any team you like. Except Boston. |

Not only are you a Boston fan, you're the new guy so it's expected lol.
Any idea where you'll be living while you're out here? On campus or renting somewhere close by? Also, have you been out here before or is it your first time?
