Dirty RXs ;)

No Snow to Melt
BCR, the problem with a dry warm snap is snow melt. The roads would be a mess, RX back to filthy in no time. Some roads here still have a considerable amount of snow on the sides from the storm on December 26 and the five others following it. Only heavy rain will get rid of it and wash all the salt away...
My car isn't anywhere near as dirty as the ones pictured in this message thread. It'll get somewhat dirty from rain and dirt kicked up off the street, but there's little to no road salt in it, at least.
So, for me, a dry warm snap would be a great opportunity to clean up.

BCR, I'm jealous of your weather! The snow just keeps coming with no chance of going away anytime soon. Record snowfall for the month and there's already talk of another big one next Wednesday
Another big problem is where to put it all. Here is a picture I took this afternoon of my RX at the end of my driveway where the pile is somewhere north of 7 feet. It would have been higher if I didn't knock it down a little. You can imagine how fun pulling out the driveway is (NOT!).

Go with Sewell for half the price and do the install yourself. The mud guards do help. Just look at picker's RX without them.

Thanks Anita. I hope the snow misses us for a few days at least, but we have a 60% chance of flurries and thus messy roads again today, so there is little hope of keeping the RX clean.

Clean for now
Finally had a chance to give the RX an overdue bath yesterday. It's amazing how much dirt and salt had accumulated. Blame it on three storms in two weeks. The 450h might not look as good as Benny's since it started to snow before I could finish. At least it's better than 99% of the cars around here. Only for the next 36 hours though, snow and sleet are on the way

My RX won't be clean for any longer than another day. We are getting a snowstorm starting on Tuesday or Wednesday. We are expecting up to 30 cm. of snow during the course of that storm.

I may have to dropped out of the contest for awhile. They're predicting a blizzard of 5 degrees below, high winds, but only 14" of snow. A "Jersey Junior" of a Nor'Easter.
I backed the RX into the garage last night so I could get a good run to charge through any drifts.

I don't have any dirty pictures, but I do have one right after it stopped snowing from last week, 15 inches of snow on the RX, I'll have to post that when I get home.
