... ECHO! *echo... echo.... echo... echo...*

RIIIIICOLLAAAAA *aaaa* *aaa*

Ok, now that was constructive.

Whats new? I washed my car today. 9 Degrees outside... it froze as it beaded off. In fact, the mist was turning into snow like fluries right outside of the car wash. The car looked like a giant popsicle when i was done. I dried off door seams and jams and around the light housing where water sits. But.. its now clean and everyone stares in their dirt covered "gray like" vehicles.

Damn, you washed your car out in the freezing cold? Brave man. My car is still a dusty grey. Must wait until it get at least about 40+ degrees.

Just go drive your car for like a minute and back in the gray-zone!

I washed mine about a week ago, didn't bother drying, its not dirty yet, although it does have some streaks from water drying as in dripped down the car, but its better than being salt covered. It was abuot 9 degrees out when I washed mine too, and about the same temp when I washed it a week earlier than that (and at a self washer too!) The handle of the sprayer was literally covered in ice as I held it and sprayed her down. however the second time I went to a laser wash =P

I just washed mine today, I am a student, and I live on campus, so it isnt being driven very much, so I like it to look nice in the garage...hahaha

Water froze as soon as I got out of the Bay...but at least it isnt gray anymore...

-Cheers

Yeah, i was alternating hands as the water in the sprayer is actually somewhat warm. One hand on the hose, one hand on the sprayer handle. The one on the handle kept sticking... And yes, im now back in the gray zone...
