really?

Lucky you!

The Spokane (Washington) area is digging out of a snowfall right about now...

I'm actually going to do some yard work this year, and I was told (by a couple who has many more years of knowledge in this matter than I) to not plant anything outside before June first because of the snow/frost hazzards...

if I were to do that, I'd have to worry about not having the car through summer

even though most of the snow is gone (for the 2nd time this year already), as I type this I'm seeing snowflakes falling...

After a random snowfall yesterday, it looks like it's finally gone! Time to jack up the car, take off the wheels, scrub the **** out of the wheel wells and run the sprinklers on the underbody for an hour or two to try to get the winter grunge off. Next step, summers back on, holy **** what a ridiculously long winter (set a new record for snowfall that stood since 1979) that was. Looking over the car no damage, no rust spots, I must have kept it clean enough because there's no salt build-up...got through another one .

yeah mine help up good all winter.. gave it a real good clean about a month ago, put it up on my buddies lift and cleaned under the car for about an hour lol.. anyone else that have stock TC rims notice how much snow likes to get packed into the rims?? I went to a superfly snow drift event and on my way home on the highway i had to stop on the side of the road and clean out the rims. Go over 45 and the wheels felt like they were going to fall off lol
