Oh no--More Snow!!!!!

Post by shenandoah24 »

It is snowing again. I have been trapped in my house for 2 days and the roads finally cleared up enough to drive today and now it is snowing again. I need to wash my Vibe!!!!! It looks awful with all the dirt and salt on it.... Poor baby.If the people in Tennessee could just learn how to drive in the snow and ice, I would be ecstatic. There are abandoned vehicles all over the interstate because people sat in traffic so long that they ran out of gas. This is so crazy.....I guess I am stuck in for a few more days....

Re: Oh no--More Snow!!!!! (shenandoah24) The Grime reality

Post by camthecanuck »

If you lived in Ontario you would experience the dirty, salt-drenched car as a daily reality. We are unable to wash our cars pretty much all winter unless we can get an indoor heated facility for a lengthy period of time or we have instant frozen doors, etc. for the rest of the winter. Our winter in Northern Ontario will end for the most part in April although the ice will not go out off the lake until the second week of May. Even if you can get it washed, the car is filthy within a block after you leave.. Being trapped in the house isn't much fun, though. Lots of time to look over Genvibe posts though.
