Dirty Girl

ive been wanting to wash my car for the longest, but it just keeps fucking snowing ! And i dont have winter rims, so my 18's are exposed to salt which really fucking pisses me off . It was either buy winter wheels or buy books, n i need the books more so i guess ill just have to get them powdercoated once the summer rolls around to repair the damage to the finish if any occurs. I fucking hate the winter









No, this isnt a new oreo style painjob n i didnt paint it 1/2 grey or something. its salt/snow . I hate the shit. she hasnt been clean for 3 weeks ! Hows everyone else's CL's fairing in the winter weather?

my CL is sitting in my driveway covered in snow. I cant afford winter tires nor insurance during the school year, and winter tires are a must in Canada. It's either freezing rain or 20 cm of snow niether of which is safe on all seasons. I hate winter.

My car was washed the other day. It snowed a couple hours after. My car is parked outside, while my moms dirty car was in the garage along with my dads. Therefore, my nicely cleaned car was covered in the snow. Wow did that depress me. But yeah, my car was white before I washed it. Now its half grey half black.

And to think that I used to love winter....

Yea, my car has been sitting in the driveway since I left for school on the 15th but luckily it hasn't been snowing in CT hardly at all and it hasn't been driven so no salt on it yet *knock on wood* I've always hated winter....

Nice, I'm not the only one waiting to fire up their CL . How bad is it for a car to sit in a drive way if its not being driven all winter?...i think its been 3 months for me already.

yea, it's not the greatest for your car, my dad takes me car to work and back every week or 2 just to keep it moving, it's not very good to keep cars sitting, especially in winter, and you might get some soft spots on your tires.

I saw snow last weekend up in Truckee. I went to Boreal to snowboard with my friends and messed up my right elbow pretty bad. It's not broken but it was swollen and hurt like hell. Shifting into 5th right now is a hassle.
