This may fail but it's worth a shot

Most of us, including myself, spend hours on end cleaning our cars before taking pictures or attending meets. One thing we never do is show off our car BEFORE it gets cleaned. With winter upon us, our cars are bound to get dirty, and this thread is for everyone to post pictures of their 3G TL between the washes and meets.

Now some of you sly bastards may be thinking "hehe watch this, I'm going to post a picture of my uber-clean TL in this thread and it will be hella funny compared to all of the dirty TLs lololololol", but please don't. Feel free to create your own thread to show off your clean car, but keep it out of this thread.

Here's how my car currently sits due to ~5" of snow we received this past weekend:













The car gets gradually darker from top to bottom:





Who's next?

 

lol surprisingly your car doesnt look that bad at all...probably because its wdp

nbp is just a nightmare in the winter...washed my car yesterday and it looks like shit today because winter on the east

 

 

Was just about thinking about creating a thread like this haha.

Will take a shot of my car right now before I go out and wash it.

 

Awesome thread. I wish I had taken pics of my Penta's before I took them off. Within a few days of washing the car, the lips are brown and black from all the dirt and brake dust. I live down a dirt road in the woods First week I owned the car, a tree limb fell on the passenger fender, leaving a nice dent right on the crease in the body line

 

in to see some dirttty cars

 

Don't have any of the TL yet, but here is my Teggy from the same house...granted, this was after a lot a rain and a little fun

 

i never take pics of my cars when they are dirty....

 

100% agreeed!!! so damn hard to keep cleann

 

lol, black is a nightmare this time of the year. and plus i hate snow

this is why i have this...

 

Damn, my car was filthy, but I washed it yesterday...

 

I'm glad to see that my TL isn't the only dirty one here on AZ.

Redsand353 I've always been a huge fan of those Grand Cherokees. Does yours have the 5.9L V8?

Anyone else have a dirty TL?

 

I'll take some pics of mine and post. It was all waxed and clean and then some rain fell and it froze on it. Parked in the garage and the next day, it was all brown!

 

Here are some of mine from a few seasons ago... I'll post up some more from this season when she gets nice and dirty...

 

That makes me feel much better about how mine looks

 

Tyler I like the two-tone look. Really, that's classy!

Sisters old 04 ABP.















God bless that car. I detailed it. After pics can be found here

 

WDP and dirt ftw!

And I remember when you posted your sister's ABP TL. You brought that poor thing back to life.

 

Here in South Florida we don't get snow or winter weather, but we do get love bugs... This is the dirtiest my car has ever gotten...

 

yep that is one of the 5.9 limited models. Its a beast, will never part with it <3

 

Its a lot dirtier than it look as the color hides dirt really well

 

What is a love bug?

 

WHOAOW! That's the buggiest I've seen a car get, ever. Kinda cool

Was this on a road trip of some sort?

 

i was thinking why would you ask that, then look back at the pictures, and it has the hood vents , so maybe...



btw more snow is coming your way , along with some bitter cold too

 

snow makes everything messy... =\ good thing all i have to worry about is rain haha

my car is pretty dirty... the picture cant capture it tho... or at least i couldnt lol

 

those love bugs suck especially if you dont clean them off in a day or two.... they can be a real pain to get off and can even ruin your paint

 

FLorida love bugs

 

^God I hate those little Bastards! They come twice a year for 3-4 weeks at a time, and like posted above, if you don't remove ASAP they will ruin your paint! Better than snow and ice for 6 months, I guess....

 

WHAT WHEELS ARE THESE?

this shot looks ill

 

looks to be stock 04 TL wheels, just painted flat black, with chrome lug nuts

 

WHAT WHEELS ARE THESE?

CAR LOOKS

 

maybe not, too wide of spokes


but are they like off of a Chevy Malibu though (they look like those ones with the fake five spoke chrome hubcaps)

 

Definitely doesn't look like stockies LOL

 

i forgot what color my car was after all the snow we received in brookyn!

 

shot from winter 08.

TL was 'frozen' in its tracks!

 

Road trip between Miami and Orlando. It was raining bugs!!! at least thats what it sounded like... Lucky me this happend on the way back home to Miami. First stop when I got home was to fill up the tank with gas and then straight to the car wash to get detailed. $100 later and the TL is as good as new.

 

They are actually Acura OEM 5-spoke steelies. I just painted them black

 

They look RAV4 stockies.

 

we dont have snow in texas, just immature people.

 

 

omg i would fukkin lose it
