For those of you who have a delta sonic around you (for those of you who don't its a chain carwash place) you can get unlimited carwashes for $22 bucks a month. Our rx is never dirty, get it washed on the way and way home from school regardless of weather ha

 

Anita: Vancouver is somewhat unique, weather-wise, for Canada. I've only had to shovel snow off my driveway once so far this winter. At the moment, there's no snow on the ground hereabouts, and there's rain and above-freezing temperatures (day and night) for the next week in the forecast.

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!).

 

Anita, that huge snow pile is such a hazard, not fun! Hopefully you'll get a warm spell to melt that sucker sooner than later.

 

With the never ending snow I've given up on seeing my nice blue car! Do the mud flaps help? I see that Ray Catena is offering them installed for $129.

 

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.

 

A dry day for once, but snow coming tomorrow. Here is my baby, clean for a day.

 

Benny, looks great. I hope the snow takes a detour for you

 

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.

 

this sounds pretty good, im going to check it out.

nice pics so far.

 

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

 

Was going to mine today but then I saw the forecast and figured to wait until Thursday when the snow has stopped

 

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.
