A Winter Mess!

Recently came back from a snowboarding trip that took place in upstate NY (Catskills to be exact.) Had a full car with 5 boards on my new Accord roof racks. Overall I had a great time exept the drives. I was just too tired for a 3 hour drive. To add to the extensive driving, mother nature decided to scratch her hair and give me a foot of dandruff on the roads. TSX oem tires performed well except in uphill area of the resort's parking lot where my OEM's slipped and had to be pushed (take account the 4 other adults.) Here's some pics. Enjoy!

Nice, I want to go snowboarding sometime soon, haven't done it in years.

Get some JDM parts on there though! Live up to that EuroR badge a little

Seeing the roof rack almost reminds me of an Audi A4,

Thats a very clean TSX compared to some of my cars here in Toronto right now, there a mess covered with a thick layer of salt, lucky my TSX is garaged during the winter months and I dont have to drive it, or deal with the salt!

that's considered clean. my drive to VT, the SSM was black when we got there plus couple of paint chips .

anyway, hunter and windham has been flocked with snow past couple of weeks, it's been a great season so far!

I can tell it's dirty, but somehow the dirt doesn't look as bad on NBP as it does on PWP?! And pics just don't seem to show all the dirt... This is my PWP after traveling to Montreal and back, and through a few snowstorms while there.. and the pics still don't show all the dirt, some of which has already been washed off! (bear with me, this is my 1st time posting a pic and I don't mean to hijack, just a comparison pic!)


I'm off to wash it now.

btw slickrab, how were those accord racks with all those snowboards?

they did WORRK! I didnt hear any whistling/wind resisting noises with or without the boards on them. It was an easy install too. I took them off today to wash the car. They come off and on in less than 5 minutes.

slickrab... you should consider a debadge, I think it would look very clean with just the center A and your EuroR badge.

ps, how was the snowboarding? I have accutaly never been, only went sking a couple times.

hmm... it looks weird without those two badges. I dont know if thats a good or bad weird. It throws more attention to the tail lights.

Wow, that's one filthy car, I couldn't stand it if I were you. Better give that undercarriage a thorough rinsing too.

What's more weird is the fact that you have a EuroR TSX.
Sorry, I had to say it, cuz if I don't, somebody else will.
