It's hard to believe that he actually has a license to drive the thing.

And I thought you needed brains to earn enough money to buy a vette..

 

[GearHead_1]

No problem, it's just a vette.

I'm very ANAL about the cleanliness of my car too but I do have some common sense.

I'm going to wash my car in a little while. I'm in WI and it's about 25 degrees out. You can't let the soapy water sit on the car for long though. I wash one door or fender, then dry it right away with a terry cloth. It works just fine. The key is drying it before it has a chance to freeze. I've done this through the whole winter. Last time I washed my car it was less than 10 degrees out. Of course you have to use warm water as well.
