Default Pic of the Comp T/A

Roads are clear, so I had to take my baby out for a little fresh air. Took her out on the highway and burned through a 1/4 tank of gas yesterday and this is how dirty she got. Yup, cant wait to do my full spring detail. Im even going to pull the interior pieces and wing off to get all the dirt and grime off her.



EDIT: Roads are clear except for my street, I think im the only street in town that still has snow packed one her

I wish I could have kept my old silver 97, but unfortunately an old *** lady decided its fate.

the roads may be clear but they are covered in salt. the salt is the whole reason i store my car in winter. snow = frozen water but salt = rust.

looks good though. i always liked the comp t/a's

why the hell does montana get away with not using salt but indiana and illinois which get less snow drop tons of it. they probably drop 2-3 inches of salt for every 1 inch of snow. it's disgusting.

We like our vehicles . Its give and take man, I bet we spend more on windshields every five years then you guys. We use gravel like its the next best thing. The gravel and dirt is soaked in a chemical that promotes the melting of Ice. It does not work as good as salt, but its not hard on vehicles and does not promote rusting. But man does it suck when you see a large *** rock flying at your windshield Oh, and Montanans know how to drive on ice and snow.



EDIT: as a side note, found out what I thought was Clear Coat Pealing...is in fact NOT clear coat..@#$!@#$!@#$%^&#$!@#$#$$%&#%@$!$ So I have to repair the front bumper, Paint it cracked and pealing cause previous owner hung it up on a curb. And the rear bumper, steep icy drive way and it slid down and hit a fire hydrant when previous owner had it. Man I should have fixed this stuff when I had the cash. Its driving me crazy now..lol

whatever they use here is also like rocks as well as salt because the other night i was driving home in my 99 malibu on a 2 lane road and a salt truck went the other way and something he was dropping hit my windshield hard enough that i thought a rock had hit it. i didn't see a chip but whatever it was, was a rock sized clump of salt or something.
