How come you don't have a winter car. :eek:
Would'nt the sand & salt eat up the Black Finsh.

I had the MM stored in October & now in the Peg the roads are so badly rutted & icey ,I can't imagine driving the MM on it.

YOZAA!! I'd say get a hose, but it's probably frozen, eh? Mine is sitting in the driveway with several inches of snow on its cover. Best I can do as we have no garage. I do wish I was able to give it good wash at the "do it yourself" before the city started to salt the roads though.

Hey JD I like the theme song?I might use it for the summer cruising here.

The other thing in the PEG besides winter driving is bad winter driver's with cells & very slow drivers. :mad:

Shame but when it is your DD well? Good luck keeping it clean.

Hope that there are self service car washes in your area.

All I can do is wash it every other day at the old drive through no touch car wash to ensure the salt has no time to "settle". A winter beater may be in order for next year...

If only you knew what winter pain was.

I am honestly thinking of moving to Vancouver just for this reason, you get such mild winters.

Add another 20 inches of snow and drop the temperature 20 degree C. then you will know what we feel.

Pfffft! Dude, everything is relative. This picture is from a place far to the north of both of us. A bottle of Vodka will freeze solid if placed in contact with an outside window at this temp.

We don't have it so bad.

Yeah...it was only -6 when I took that pic, but the warmer temps suck more for car cleanliness...that I can vouch for...snow, wet, snow, wet, slush, salt, sand...and repeat.

I feel your pain... my car is filthy and during the big ice storm we had, a tree branch landed on the back of my car and put some nice dimples in the trunk lid and both 1/4 panels... the rain guards on the passenger side have also been removed due to damages... I can't stand the state that my car is in right now!!! Sorry to depress you guys with the pic below... but there she is... the dirty Grand Rauder...

This is how a Marauder should be prepared and dressed for the winter months.

Ugg.....that's why I keep a winter car. Salt is just brutal! How do you find the MM in winter? I drove my old Thunderbird one day once in the winter, and it was a more than a little exciting. It is pretty good in the snow? I see you have something that looks like snow tires on the back?

My mustang is the one wrapped up. :) Which is funny as hell because Forth Horseman (Scott) is flipside. His MM gets the winter sleep and his stang the daily.
