It's a waste of $10 to go wash it right now! I just washed mine at work (for free, like usual) and it's already dirty. It's highway driving that really does it in.

the amount of salt they use in red deer is insane. guaranteed to rust if you let that **** sit on your car. anybody know of a car wash with a good undercarriage wash? thats the only part i wish i could do better at my shop.

I do wash it all the time, it just gets dirty so damn fast cause I drive on the highway every day.

You're right though, they use way too much salt.

Well after this snow we got today, it's now turned to a nice thick layer of ice on hwy 13 east of wetaskiwin (I commute 15 mins on it every day twice), they could use MORE salt!

other than my master cylinder going on my clutch the first Month I had it, yeah it's been really good for me.

Unfortunately this year I won't be doing anything to the car as I'm building a garage this summer!

any hints there jordan as to what you plans are for the new year. I wish i could do a little more to my car too but I have some other plans in the works for the year that hopefully wont cost me as much and has nothing to do with cars haha.

oh and i forgot to mention but this is for ernie, the cobalt models will be discontinued in the coming years i do believe they are changing them up a fair bit. I dont like the new car they are going with insted of the cobalt I think it looks like ****. if you do a little searchin around you can find some pictures and info about the new car they are replacing it with

You know spring is comming when!!!

Ok get this and wtf? I just saw on Saturday afternoon a red RX 7, highly modded with a big black wing on the back, maybe red/black wheels as well but def summers.. Thats asking for warmer weather if I ever saw it ..

Thanks Min for the info on the new Balts comming out I do remember seeing some ugly POS that GM may come out with soo won't be going that way if that comes down to it!

And Jordan, ya damn straight I wanna meet up when the weather turns, just depends where I'm going to be working as I am going to try and get on with UPS once again. (long sad story there).

Nice to see everyones doing alright.. Keep it real peeps!!
