I just finished washing my baby, the cold temps werent so much a problem as the fact that I was sliding away from the car since the water on the ground became an instant sheet of ice, tho Ill tell ya, I was able to pull into the garage driving on ice without any trouble.

washing in sub 20degree temps is a bad idea mmmkay?

but Jessie is all pretty for tomarrow, and shes dry and warm in the garage now.

washing her is becoming a health risk tho. I count 5 fingers, but I swear I can only FEEL 4.

 

I feel ya man! I do this as well. Just be careful walking around the car. I usually only feel two nubs when i'm done. When you spray the water in the air, does it snow?

 

Tip for washing car in cold weather. Use scuba neoprene gloves, and make the soap out of warm water.

The gloves are like $20. Buy the gauntlet types (up past your wrist).

My car has been in the garage for a week with all the salt on the road here. I've been driving the old GTP.

 

That's hard core. But nothing's more hard core than dropping $$$ for a daily beater.

When I pulled into work today the outside air temp gauge had dropped from 7 degF when I left home to 0 degF in the wooded stretch near work. Warm and toasty inside the Z, though (until I got out).

Yah, I washed my car today also... but it's in the 70s... SoCal is wierd

 

yeah, Im in atlanta, the ice on my driveway is the most we've seen. and they shut down when anything white falls from the sky, a LIGHT dusting shut down the school systems and business's on thursday, and today many schools were delayed just cause it dipped down into the teens. when you live in a place like this, you dont have to worry about going out in any sort of winter conditions. the beater is obsolite.

 

I'm in the market for a beater myself. Maybe a 10 year old Accord or something. My Z is too nice for the salty roads.
