I washed Miss Ruby last week because I couldn't stand seeing her that way (almost entirely that white-grey from salt) and she stayed clean for all of 2 days. Looks like the snow is done for a few days and we're into the bitter cold. Thursday's forecast is for a low of 2 and a high of 3 (those are both in degrees Farenheit!) Days like these were made for synthetic oil in the Cruiser.

Stay toasty, all.

If you really wanna be as bummed out as we are... come up here to MLPS where all you see is salt & no snow. WE HAD 2 " of the white stuff & they salted like it was 2FT!

Now there is a white crust on everything & if you drive more than 2 blocks after your car is washed... your covered again.

I hate winter

,, IT IS A PLOW<
when threr is more than 4-5 inches of snow, it plows the snow and rolls it off the front, last year on jan 31 we had a huge storm,
i made it threw no problems, when the snow is dry and not slushie, it is fine,
when its all slushie, it gets a bit hard to drive,
, i used to have a 4x4, and i didnt miss it to much,
had a lot of snow this year too no problems,
i even made it up hills other cars couldnt make it up,
i notice snow grows arond the wheel well on the bottom,
and the grill seems fine, .
