I dont reside in upstate but I do reside in Longisland. With all the constant snow lately, I haven't gotten a chance to wash my car. I don't want to wash my car until spring hits. Last thing i want to do is wash and wax my car and snow the following day. My WDP tl-s is as dirty as yours.

I hated that too when I lived in NY. I will tell you the secret in keeping the car clean.................Move to a warmer climate. The south is nice and salt free.

Another way to keep your car clean is by leaving it in your garage and never drive out until spring hits.

No offense, but these aren't Ferraris we own. I live in upstate NY and I wouldn't go through the hassle of owning a second winter car. With snow tires I'd imagine the TL would be great in snow, as opposed to just ok with all seasons.

Hmmm... I should look into this...

But sometimes it's just too cold to wash your car yourself...

thats what i would call "clean" for the winter. up here in canada we see dirty cars like that everywhere. dosen't matter what you drive. there is no way to keep it clean when the city throws a couple tons of sand/salt on the ground. thats why undercoating and electronic rust inhibitors are so common around here.

i try to give my car a good wax job before the snow hits. it make me feel a bit better for driving my car in the winter=(

Florida FTW! Just get hurricane insurance. On a serious note it's going to be in the lower 20's here tonight and may get snow flurries. I know I know, it's not that cold compared to up north. But it's cold for us. Not used to the cold any more and I'm from Ottawa Canada. Can you put a car cover on to keep it clean?

LOL, you should be fine in Tampa.......Yea, we get freezes up here now and then. Not too bad though. Tampa does get hit more by hurricanes than we do. We've had some near misses but not a direct hit in years.
