0 Ricky Bobby Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You and me both Phil, nice thing is that the more South you go, the more freedom we acquire. EDIT: I forgot you live in PA, no worries about Freedom in the Commonwealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You guys go ahead and keep it. I have no issues with you not sharing. Sun shining and no snow here, not even on the ground. Been getting close to 60's daily for the last couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PT3 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 This time of year the coin opt car wash is your best friend....... But who wants to wash their car in these temps. It turns a nice joyful thing into a real chore. And then what's the point of spending the 1.5 hours (prep, trip to wash, rinse, wash, dry, drive home). When tomorrow it's just going to snow again.

0 Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Tonight is the Powerball. Good luck to us all. If I won enough to move, I'd be happy with that. I've had it with winter and cold and snow and rain on the snow, and ice, and salt and everything that winter means. Spring can't come soon enough for me.

0 PacificNWBuckeye Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We aren't getting the snow most of you guys are getting, but I haven't had a dry day off that was warm enough to wash since November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PT3 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Me.....you have to really want and enjoy a clean car. I have been doing the winter car wash for 35+ years. Good for you bud! I just don't want to wash my car in this kind of weather several times a week. Plus, my career is quite demanding and doesn't give me much time during the week as it is. So, to wash my car today, just for it to get snowed on tomorrow is not a good return on the investment of my time. LFairbanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I here you......I work 6 days a week 50+ hours. I can't stand to drive a dirty car so I make sure I make time. I hit the car wash tonight......???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I tend to spend more time cleaning the inside in the winter since it's easier to do and at least I get some satisfaction from keeping part of my vehicle clean in between rinseless washes. I just got done wiping down my interior while mt wife was in the shower is that weird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 07stanggt Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What is this snow you speak of? Over 5 feet in the last couple of weeks and another foot coming this Sunday. At least my snowmobiles are detailed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will typically only wash my car on the weekends due to my work schedule. My schedule during the week is work. And like you if it is going to be crappy weather the next day I will skip it. And at times have gone a couple of weeks before a wash, in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DieselDude Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I try to do mine when the weather allows for it on the weekend. Well this is three weeks so this weekend it will be cold (single digits at night). It appears next week or next weekend I will be able to do mine (two bucket wash) .

0 Black Bowtie Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I will do a two bucket wash at the coin-op this weekend. Will be in the single digets so stuff is froze up again. Last weekend it was in the upper 40"s so everything was melting and the roads were a mess so I skipped giving the truck a bath. I did blow everything off last Friday in the wheelwells and undercarriage before I put it up on the hoist to do a service, so I was not having chucks of ice and slush falling on me the whole time.

0 TheBurninator Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Snowed 8 inches a couple weeks ago here... Then melted completely 2 days later. It was 70's last week and been pretty steady 60's all this week for the most part. Colorado isn't as snowy as people make it out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmobiling is THE most fun out of all the various 'personal crafts' available. I miss my SkiDoo MXZ 1000, with spikes! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
