Well this winter has been mild but considering you're 1.5 hours north of me you know the kind of winters we typically have where its a snow, slush, sand, salt mix for 4 months.

Even with washing weekly I dont trust it. What about areas where the wash doesn't reach? On my previous car I would wash it probably every 2 weeks including undercarriage spray and the bottom of that car was looking horrible after 8 winters.

I was driving through my town yesterday since it was so nice out, and consequently because it was so nice out there also happened to be teenage bicyclers on the road.


Two kids rode by me while I was stopped at a light and the first one gave me this huge thumbs down. I just laughed it off because it was the first negative remark out 10 months of owning the car and it was obviously out of jealousy.

A half hour later I came out of a Royal Farms gas/convenience store to find the same tool on a bike, only now he was with his 15 friends (also on bikes of course). I stared the kid down hard as I walked to my car, not breaking eye contact the entire way to my door. He looked away then his friend who was with him earlier yelled, "I wanna see you roast 'em". I opened my car door and said, "I bet you do."

I've never pulled out of a place slower and less anti-climactic than that. They all stood and watched the whole time too.

(btw mods are blacked out fangs with tow-hook and flat black rays wheels)

kids... Should asked them for the 1+ grand to buy new tires >< I might have drove off fast if they wanted to see that but probably not fast enough to kill the tires. You know how kids are. They idolize :P

What I really wanted to say deep down was "You know thumbs up is hitchhiking, thumbs down means you give rimjobs for nickels."

I drove through a sand storm. I could just feel the clear coat being sand blasted away.
