I hate anyone who lives in a non-snowy state!

I took these pictures today because when I saw my baby like this, my eyes hurt.

This is only from 3-4 days of snowy/salty roads!!




I rinsed her off, shortly after snapping these but it still looks like shit.

Anyone else neglecting their TLs and wanna join the haters club?

That sucks buddy. But look at it this way, in Chicago, you've got the Cubs, the Blackhawks and a New Year's day hockey game at Wrigley Field. You can't have that in warm weather states !!!

Does that help?

What sucks even more is............it's just the BEGINNING!! Keep rinsing that crap off every week. By March you will be so used to it that at your first polish and wax job you will feel like you got a pair of new eyeglasses. You will be amazed at how the metallic sparkles in your paint look.

It is one of my top priority reasons to move south.....just for the sake of keeping a car in good condition on better maintained roads. Most non-enthusiasts think I am crazy when I say that. Most people say warmer weather or lower cost of living....I usually start by talking about how the TL will be happy, lol.

Cali local and comedian Daniel Tosh on Canadians referring to Cali:

Canadian:"Its nice here, but I couldn't live here, I love seasons too much.. I love seasons."

Tosh: "So do I, that's why I live in a place that skips the sh**ty ones!!"


I'm glad I don't have to deal with snow and everything that comes along with it.

I love snow, can't wait for it.

We get to experience mother nature North-East, the beauty, the wonder, a change... Waking up to the same beautiful day is boring

I've never understood why people would willingly live somewhere with "winter weather". Just the cold temperatures we get here suck.
