I hate winter.
Man, winter drives me insane! My car is filthy from all the salt on the roads, but it's too cold out to wash it by hand (no garage, plus I don't even have a hose hookup any more since I moved), and I'm too cheap to pay $10 as the gas station's brushless car wash for something I can do for free myself. Is anyone else going insane?
I can't wait till spring...or even a nice warm weekend.
After reading this thread http://autopia.org/forum/car-detaili...h-no-joke.html, I think I'm picking up some ONR next week. I haven't bought anything for my car in a while, and without having a hose hookup, I'll need some way to wash my car.

Re: I hate winter.
Jeez.. it was 83 degrees today, but there's a cold front on the way and we'll be back in the 60's. I like cooler temps!

Re: I hate winter.
More than once I've used a bucket of warm water with ONR and washed my car outside when it was below freezing. If you start with a bucket of warm water, it isn't all that horrible to wash your car even in the 20s.

Re: I hate winter.
I despise winter and to me, winter is anything under 75.

Re: I hate winter.
On the weekends when I have time and it's above 20F, I'll fill the bucket with HOT water and ONR it. I just can't stand to go more than 2 weeks seeing my truck that filthy. I hate winter as well.

Re: I hate winter.
Winter certainly gets old fast. Tomorrow's high is an amazing 32F, followed by 8F on Sunday.  |

Shut up 
No need for you Southern boys to flaunt your warmth while there's a 1 ft of snow on the ground from a recent snowfall followed by a nice, stiff cold front (i.e. -15 degree windchills, centigrade of course)
