so does any one think they used any salt on the hwy i was on yesterday???

does any body have any thing that can top this???

 

thats a really cool design on your car.. i like the fade



im playin man.... i feel bad for you... i thought NY was bad... but your car looks like it went thru snow tornado

 

shit man, I would be at the car wash ASAP to get that crap off your car!!! That what my car looked like about a month ago, I had to wash it a few times just to get it lookin better.

 

every one keeps telling me it looks like i was folowing a milk truck that was leaking.
that crap is THICK. and the bad part is it wont be washed till maybe next week. its snowing here (all weekend) and cold so most carwashes are closed, oh well part of the joys of owning a car

 

i got the worse of it

i couldn't even see my license plate and my comptech exhaust is all salted

i paid 15 bucks for hand car wash and they were like..."wow...soooo fricking dirty"

 

thats like 3 hrs of hwy driving! i went thru 1 full tank of washer fluid and had to fill up, just so i could see. the roads where horrible

 

NASTY!!! I think I'll stay in the South. Thank you very much.

 

Dang!!

 

damn i thought my car got it bad in the past few days... your car definately takes the cake...

 

doesnt that shit fuck the paint up?

 

theres actually a town called Cumming, GA? haha anyways ill have to wait till the next snow storm in CT before i can try and beat those pix, i think id have to drive behind 18wheelrs all night to get the car dirtier than that though, im guessing if u opened a car wash over there you would strike it rich

 

Kris, u topped this one!

 

yea, yea, The local joke is: Why does everyone want to live in Alpharetta? Cause it's just before you get to Cumming........booooo I know, I know.

 

nah! (and shhhhh the cars never been waxed!)

 

kris, i am reporting you to child protective services ur gonna get

 

then you eill never get your wing! :P
hell i bet if i cleaned mine up (other than the 167,000 miles of wear on it) you would never know it was never waxed. it will shine just like it was

 

you have to wash ASAP man....its getting wrose if u don't wash it...cuz its road salt..

 

ill get to it next week. maybe ill wash the windows when i go fill my tank up later

 

ok i have a idea. tonight when its cold, should i break out the garden hose and hose teh car down in my neighbors driveway and make their driveway a icerink

 

i thought mine was bad but not that bad.. damnn

 

Haha, you said Cumming... sorry too much Family Guy, haha, you said guy, ok stop it. Done!

Anyway, i'm sure you can find a drive through car wash at a gas station, if you think that its not good enough for your car or it will destroy your paint in the long run, walk back outside and take another look at your car, if you can see it!!

 

Your pics remind me of two winters I spent in upstate NY. How does your exhaust system look as it goes through hot-cold cycles with road salts.

 

two words: holy shiet!

mmm i like socal, eh?

 

hold on so the rock salt doesnt harm the paint?!

 

i take the comptechs off in the winter to polish them up

 

shopping carts and sand do more harm to paint than salt. salt affects metal, but if the paint is in good shape the salt wont do any thing to the paint (well maybe if never ever washed off )

 

ok thanks fstty

 

it doesnt hurt to protect the paint as much as you can by regular washings and waxings.
(i typically dont wax, i usually buff with different polishes (that some containn waxes) so thats why i dont usually wax. that and i usually endup painting parts that dont look good any way so the paint is always good looking)

 

oh ok, i dont have the luxury of painting things like that except my lip kit, so ill be sure to wash and wax

 

just tont get anal or worry if you cant was the car off right away, the car will be fine

 

holy crap

 

most cars here look like this.. it's very common..

 

its common here too, but pictures dont do the salt justace. there are some area over 1/8 inch thick

 

EDIT: when are the F****** smileys gonna work????

 

????

 

whoa...that's a lot of salt...

i just came back in from washing the car actually...call me crazy....it's 26 degrees out....i just wash it with boiling hot water from the furnace in the garage.....(i actually mix the water so it's not TOO hot...), wash it, then just pull it in the garage where it's heated....and i wait til the next morning until it dries....

i didnt want to wash it but i figure it'll be in the garage til monday or tues until the snow clears...might as well be clean....i wish i had some pics of the salt though....

 

id wash it in my garage too, but my drain is plugged so id have to squegge it out into the drive way, and i dont want a ice rink out side

 

you misundersood me....i get the hot water from the furnace in the garage...i wash outside though......

....wait....you've got a drain in your garage???...that's awesome....so you COULD do it inside....that's just sweet

 

yup. id do it outside, but i dont want my driveway to be a icerink!

 

so i guess no snow drifting for shawn
