Car Washing

so if your living in the NE region and the weather is 60* like in Connecticut post some pics of your ride. I just washed mine, I'm so proud. It has literally been 4 months since her last car wash. I'll post some pics in a bit.

the only good reason to wash your car in the winter is to get all the salt & nasty stuff off. otherwise it's pretty pointless especially on these warmer days when the roads are all wet from snow melt, it just sprays right back on your car.
