Poor thing. I don't think I can take another round!

Might get another major snow period here next week.  I wish I had a beater SHO for winter.

I feel your pain!  Carwash is sending me to the poorhouse, so I can imagine how much worse you have it up in Ohio ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I hear ya!  We had 11 inches of snow last weekend and then the temps dropped into single digits and below zero at night.  The streets are still ice covered in many places and my MKS is filthy and covered with salt.  I would give a significant body part to have a heated garage with running water and a good drain system.

The only fully indoor car washes here have the brushes and crap dragging across the paint.  I only use the touch free automatics if I use one. Unfortunately it was so cold they were all broken/closed. Even when I could get a wash in there wasn't a thaw and cleaning rain to get rid of all the salt and slush so it was almost pointless.

I've had good luck with the spray wash joint this winter.  Even at 16 degrees it does pretty good.  But I day dream of hand washing and waxing my baby.  Even steady temps in the 40's would be nice!

Ugh!  :puke: No one should use those... better off dirty or garden hose the salt off.

I'm also from MN and that was terrible! I think we got ~16 inches of snow and then ridiculous cold. I think the highest temp I saw today was 8°

My first winter in 9 years without my F-150 and it was brutal. I'm definitely getting a beater for all future winters. I live so close to work it doesn't matter how much of a s*** box it is. And when I have my daughter while the wife's at work, I'll take the SHO.
