I don't know what it is with this car but it throws more slop and dirt on itself than any vehicle I've owned. I even put the Lexus mud guards from Japan on and it still throws stuff all down the sides of the car. Maybe thats the price for the tight cornering with the front end.

This car is just like any other car but I have found that with a white car the dirt seems to stick on the paint, almost like a stain. This salt is getting annoying though and on top of that we are about to get hi with more snow. On a good note the AWD in this car is still perfect, I always get out of snow with no issue's.

I was able to get mine washed today! What a relief. Hosed it down at the coin-op booth real well, then ran it through the carwash. Just finished spritzing all the drips in the garage. Supposed to flurry/rain tonight/tomorrow, my wife is staying home so I'm going to leave the GS warm and clean in the garage and drive the Jeep...which is still filthy.

Yup, same here. They use so much damn salt on the roads they're a mess for a month after 2 inches of snow.

Yikes! Most of our roads they use sand/dirt. So we end up with dirty roads and rock chips!
Edit: The few people with cars here end up with rock chips. Everyone else is in a truck throwing the rocks.

Yeah I noticed the same thing down in WV (we have a family home in southern WV), they use gravel on the roads. Yikes! I'll take the salt!

PS - Don't ask why I was under your car. I had too much fun last night... And I misplaced my trousers.
PPS - My trousers may be wrapped around your catalytic converter. Would you please take a look?

Yeah I need to move. Cleared the snow off and the GS drove like a champ.

Salt is pretty bad right now. It was worse when I had a garage actually. Our garages were in the alley and not everyone would shovel or garbage trucks would compact the snow with permanent ice grooves. Coupled that with piles of snow makes for a crowded drive.
