Still looks good!!
Those are the snow tire rims - they're 17's all around, non-staggered.

I've been considering switching to a light weight 17inch wheel on all seasons as my summer tire, but haven't decided yet.

Unremarkable, but I was struck by how small my car is compared to a Corolla

The M3 looks so tiny!

That is a lot of the same Corvette... it's good to see you're out doing some of the big events.

Of cars in general or of BMWs?

If it's in general I've had my Jeep since spring of '03 so . . . 12 years? And it is an '01 so 15 years old.
