great car fun to drive, SHINES in the snow with Blizzaks on it! The summer wheels and tires are lening against the snows in this pic.

^^^ Very pretty R. Very nice. The first photo looks like you built your yard around your 850 ;-).

Original 17"s, or reconditioned because of cracks, or aftermarket clones?

I lived in Seattle for 8 years and never put a front license plate on. Then I move to Denver and get 3 $30 tickets in 6 weeks for it, all in the same spot by the same meter reader :evil:. I capitulated and put a janky non-drilled solution together to hold the front license plate on. Looks like crap, stopped the tickets.

I fought the law and the law won.

Here's my 850 in October.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Ha, no the car gate swings open...Most wouldn't catch that detail, guess the fence caught your eye more than my 850..

the wheels are a combination of original and clones, you can see the front wheel is a different shade than the rear.

I know my 850R does not do well in the snow with these wheels and tires. I'm sure 16" with snow tires would be better in Denver.
