I know the pain. My car does not come out of the garage with cold or wet weather. The continental tires are not build well for that. Plus it is in pieces.

Hasn't gotten above 45 here with constantly rain, sleet or snow still. Hasn't stopped the mass of geniuses in Moostangs, camarrows, and chugengers, from going out. I've only seen 2 moostangs break the rear end loose going around corners because the summer tires have no grip in these types of temps. I give it another week before I see a camarrow wrapped around a mailbox.

Got a stick up my arse about this guy, couldn't decide between aluminum and black, went with black and red turtle. Wanted something different with the new fascia being painted after a misshap in the parking lot or at the dealer, couldn't prove that either was at fault.

Damn protectors are expensive - $170 for the lower driver side and $6 a rivet.



The insurance adjuster was quite kind, new front fascia, new lower bumper and lower protector. When all said and done it was $2K in damage.



Better shot of damage, 4" cut that ya can't really see, along with stress cracks and the the rolled under bumper.

Having a similarly outdoor (but much colder) experience myself.... Last second guys-trip to Vail for the last weekend of the season... Hoping there's some snow to go along with the party!

I'm in Western NC today. So far we've had rain, then sleet, only to turn to snow.

Lovely!
