Cool I can still make it on the 2nd

Ok so I drove Tigger in the snow Friday night and discovered that it wasn't fun. After I dug the car out today I can see that I have some sort of 17" BF Goodrich Performance tires that stink in the snow. These are the tires that were on the car when I bought it from Carmax last Jan. They appear to have plenty of tread, but it's not the right tire for now.
I managed last year since we hardly had any snow, but I think this year may be worse.
I think I'd like to do what Edge does and just get some winter tires and swap them out. I don't know what's good and what's not, I don't know if I can just go to any tire place or do should I go someplace specific?
I need help. Tigger is my only car and I am kind of scared driving and getting caught in the snow now after last Fri night.
What do winter tires cost and is it expensive to change them out? Where's a good place to get them? I have lots of questions.

I was in Passport this morning and chatted with Bill, he said if the snow is bad we may be canceling. How will I know?

I'll be there, it's so close to my house

OK then I guess I don't want that. No talking on the phone while motoring is the option for me.

It's not like I can hear the ph ring anyway with the radio on.

I tried the jawbone and even that wasn't good enough with the top down. Oh well, it's worth it to have the freedom!!

It's always easy to justify buying presents for the MINI
Do you think the OEM blue tooth would work well enough with the convertible?
Ali

I think Best Buy has them, I asked them about it but then reconsidered since I have a convertible and chances are I can't hear the blue tooth with the top down. They did tell me that they had them when I asked.

I keep trying to post a photo but it's not working, so I uploaded it to Picassa web albums

Today at the meet and greet Laura installed my angled side stripes and we also put on my little flame decals. A few people were interested in where I bought them. Here's the link to the site

That was fun and thanks to Laura Tigger now has side stripes.

When I first got Tigger I took him to Alexandria Bavarian Service for an oil change. They ran about $90 I think, but that's about what I paid at Passport MINI last month.

REALLY?
Ok cool I'll PM you for details

I bought the angled side stripes for Tigger. I know everyone says it's easy to install but being precise is not one of my strengths. Can anyone recommend someone to install for me? I may just go to Passport but I'm thinking they'll be kind of expensive.

What happens at the monthly meet and greet? Do we go eat somewhere or do anything together?
Just wondering

They're talking about another storm this weekend. Will the party still be on if snow is bad?
