Well I don't blame myself for it. It was horrible weather, I had to close the store I was working at early just to make sure everyone could get home safe. You probably know, 'cause the storm covered basically the top half of Indiana.

I do. We got a foot of snow on Monday. And 9 inches 5 days before that.

Our HHR hasn't been driven in about 2 weeks.

That'll be the end of next month unless it gets into the 50s. I have 2 feet of snow in my yard.

Yep... not gonna hurt it. Itll start melting here about next week. Waiting for the next stimulus check or my tax return to buy some more parts. If it ever comes... nice to see I'm getting less in my paycheck now. America last 🤨

How else do you think the government is paying for the "free" stimulus money they've given away?

 

[TDCruze]

Isn't winter fun... I guess I should be glad it's only been cold here no snow in weeks.

Car stays real clean when all the salt is frozen up!

Took it for a bath today, as it was absolutely filthy from vacation, and I wanted to warm the oil up prior to doing the oil change (warmed up specifically for the Blackstone Labs sample, and driving it up the ramps without starting the engine just to turn it off while still cold - plus, working under a car not covered in salt is great). Then, added in 2.5 gallons of DEF.

For me, installing/removing winter tires and oil changes often start with a trip to the car wash.

and sometimes a wash just because it is warm enough!

That was also why I got one - it was 50 out, and the car was disgusting beforehand. Wet roads (from snowmelt) but still with some residual salt, then some dirt roads (that were also wet), definitely dirtied the hell out of the thing, even though I had just washed it the day before we went up north.

It was dirty by the time we drove up there (about 4 hours) because of said melt on the freeways. But not as dirty as it ended up.

This was the next morning (the 27th), before it had gotten too gross:

I washed her up last Friday as it was really nice here. Was looking pretty good until it snowed yesterday!
