mine was already too salted up, couldn't resist and got it washed.

 

yah...

oh damn, is that right? that truely sucks if spring does come later....


nothing wrong with a clean car. i like your front bumper how you blacked out the center part.

 

I think Saturday it's supposed to go to mid 40's.. if so I gotta wash it badly... way too much salt on it.


I truly hope it's wrong, that's what the "experts" are saying, but they're usually wrong so hopefully it warms up soon. We should check with the groundhog this Sunday.

 

yep, 99% of the time when they forecast the entire season they are wrong, so i too hope it's business as usual.


yah, if you have 40F wash it for sure. even if the car's going to get dirty again who cares. better to reduce layers of caked on salt.

 

didnt drive my '12 all weekend long. lots of snow, and -4F last night. all is well though, did some errands this am before work, had a good time driving it.


can't wait for some warmer weather... my aries floor mat is almost completely white now from all the salt. yikes..

 

What is meant by a 'late spring,' I can wait until March for some warming up if I have to, but if its April and still cold like this, I'm out.

 

yah, i hope things warm up enough that there's no more salt on the ground by mid-march.

 

more cold weather and snow on the way this week.

 

got like 6" of snow and the draft made it even deeper in some areas... like my porch. 15" deep. was like, the hell mang...


DWS did sort of okay, but nowhere near the performance level of snow tires in this much depth of snow. but i made it to my destination safely so that's wat matters the most i guess.


if we're going to have such a long snowy winter like this every year, i might as well get snow tires for my '12 as well.

 

had to do a lot of bulky stuff carrying over the weekend in the snow and my '12 did great. make some cash while at it too. it looks like temps are gradually coming back up later this week. i hope so.... was -5F this am. can't wait for spring.

 

humm.... was still -5F this am...

 

36F next week.

 

actually 42F next week!! cant wait to wash my cars.

 

so was running some errands last night and could not help but notice the huge bumps (like speed bumps almost) and dips on the roads in some areas, huge pot holes... holy crap.


will definitely keep my 50 profile on a tad longer than usual, and will need to make a few rounds on the roads where i usually take my rwd cars to mark in my head where the big craters are.. dont want to bend my expensive wheels...


no scraping or rubbing though on my swifts and 205/50/16 tires. 16x7 with ET40, ET35 rears.

 

so with this warmer weather finally starting to head our way, im starting to clean up my garage workbench and shelves in prep for spring. but before getting into the car projects on my other cars, i wanted to update my garage's boombox.


last year a local highschool kid came by while i was working on my car. she was collecting donations for her marching band. no prob, i told her to wait while i go grab my wallet. she was looking around my garage and noticed my 17yr old dual cassette boombox up on the shelf and asked 'sir, wat is that?!' im like holy hell, i didnt even realize ive been using that almost everyday (for FM) without ever really putting much thought that it's super obsolete. lol. i asked how old she was and she said 16. lol. i told her that boombox was older than her.


so this year, i got a modern mini component with bluetooth, got rid of the cassette decks ofcourse! , and will be streaming pandora/spotify this year. hahahaha!!

 

holy crap, it rained pretty hard today (free car wash) and i could see that my car was silver.... lol not the ikky salt crap brownish white color.

 

wanted to wash the car today but temps fell again so oh well... at least i know wat to expect looking at my 09 which is barely washed as far as corrosion and all. lol already field tested the last 6yrs. still runs great so no worries.

had to run a lot of errands today on my '12. felt good, was fun.

 

hey got my BT stereo setup in the garage. it's nice. inexpensive and sounds good. it's a sony micro stereo. i bought mine during a sale at 139. woot!


looks like this:


Sony 50W Bluetooth Micro Music System CMTSBT100 - Best Buy


paired up to my droid no issue. i dont even have to take my droid out of my pocket to stream pandora (unless i want to change channel). i get out of my car, turn on the stereo in the garage, and it plays. play/pause/skip tracks from the sony's remote. woot!

 

back to -2F again tonight.

 

yah, frikken -5F this am while starting my car.


the hell is wrong with our weather this year? did i forget to make a payment or something?
