Sorry to hear about it. I cry to everytime it snows here in MN, which is quite often. i can't wait for spring to come so I can finally clean my car inside and out. It hurts driving a new car in MN! Hey BTW, nice mods and tight rims? What kind are they?

I know what you mean bro. I just got washed off all the dirt/salt/grime from ym car this past weekend only to find a few scratches on my rear passenger door (i believe it was from the shovel hitting the side of the car while I was trying to dig out) and chips on my hood from the salt and rocks on the road
This winter has been horrible on my car and I get depressed everytime I talk about it!!

I guess if everone knew how nice the South West is, no one would live in snow country. We pay for it in Summer though, but everyone else has been paying for it sence before Christmas. Everytime I hear about the snow on the news, I think they are talking about another country. Ahhhhh how good it is..... 78 and sunny today!

My car looks like that regularly (sigh...Cleveland weather blows). I have resorted to doing hand washes in the garage AFTER using a high-pressure self-wash locally.
The high-pressure wash leaves a fine coating of salt on the body panels, so I use it only to remove the thickest layers of salt. I then hand wash with Zaino (Z7). I have done this several times in sub-20 degree temps, not much better in my unheated garage. I know it sounds crazy, but I plan on keeping the car for 100k miles and keeping the rust away is a must! So Mr. Hyde, I understand you.

holy crap!! i can't believe anyone in their right mind would want to live in those types of places..Today, it was almost 90 degrees when I pulled up to my friends detail shop. Got the TLS detailed and went out on my waverunner an hour later..Any of you guys find yourselves wondering why you dont live in South Florida. Its the definition of paradise down here while you guys are suffering in the snow, salt, cold, rain, dirt and grime.

You people should live up in Canada. It was -42 deg F last week without the wind. -52 deg F with the wind. Had to plug the TL in on those nights. Pretty darn hard on cars or anything mechanical here. Wish I was in California or somewhere hot!!
