Default Post your salty ti pictures.

Well since my car is a mess with salt all over it i thought i'd post a pic of it. If your ti is covered in salt let's see some pictures. I took 1 picture today when i went out to my car to get a magazine,it looks white from the side but i ran out of space on my phone.

I need a mega wash once it warms up a tad.

The salt just blends in with your car,except for your rear bumper.

Don't kid yourself...you miss WI badly. It awesome here right now, 23 degrees with about 15" of snow on the ground.

I'll be in Florida in 19 days, that's the only thing keeping me sane right now. That and the vodka tonics!

If you have a hose at home, spray the crap out of the undercarriage and buy yourself one of those Mr. Clean wash things. At least try and rinse it off.

If not, get it done quick! And make sure it's touch free.

Default Carwash a Block Away

Here in Calgary we have a wonderful weather phenomena called a chinook it warms up the winter weather to above freezing on a somewhat regular basis. Otherwise it is between -10 to -20 celcius (10 - 0). When it warms up all the snow that has fallen melts and makes for some sloppy driving. Luckily there is a carwash a block from my house and I have a warm garage to let my ti dry out.

My garden hose in the driveway is frozen too.
I did try to wash my car last winter on my driveway, ended up with a thin layer of ice covering the car.
Going for a car wash is now $15.

Not too salty, but salt no less. The pic quality blows, it's from my phone.
