    Well guys, the weather finally broke, and my ride (which I didn't get any 'before' pics of unfortunately) finally got cleaned off. She was caked with Salt and road debris and garbage, not to mention the fact that the cold caused my front bumper welting to break off the other day.

    She's finally cleaned and detailed inside and out, the only downside is I don't wanna drive her in the slop :(

    Yeah, this northern weather blows! We're back to below zero and snow in the beginning of this week, but on the upside, they're talking about upper thirties by the end of the week!!

    man i hate road salt!!!!

    i washed the last months worth of nastyness off the old girl yesterday before the big game. then decided to streamline her (the black moldings were falling off so i just yanked'em. and i took the cross-beams off my luggage rack). but it was a nice site to see...my clean wagon!

    That is a beautiful buick. I would love to have one like that. I'm a carburator guy, but it's nice to have a fuel-injected ride for the winter.

    Pressure washer? That's what I do when it stops dipping below 15F. Undercarriage especially. Floors are too hard to fix. :slap:

    We have a little 5 horse pressure washer, plus the body guy I work for has a heated $1500 model, he says my dad and I can use, and my best friends work at the truck wash here. I always am pressure washing something hahaha.
