Post 944 turned into Bobsled!?

No, not on Monster Mechanic--ME, on my block this morning! Damn, these cars suck on slippery snow! I lightly tapped the brakes as I got to my corner, and I did a 180! Luckily, no cars were there to smack into me!

My station car's battery died 2 days ago, so it is in the shop till tonight...poor 944 never rode in snow under my watch--till today!

Now there's salt all over her...fine way to show up at a meet!

Some of you nuts are getting car washes tomorrow?? In 20 degree temps?

I want June, right now!!

Next time, try snow tires - you'll be surprised, guaranteed

This winter really is getting old, can't wait for summer... ahh. The streets were clear of snow & ice today though, it was nice to be able to "go" ... "fast"

Try Jacksons, RT22E in Union, across from a Red Lobster which is in the center island. Hand wash is about $12-I tip $10, and they practically detail the car for me every week. Ask for Ronnie, tall guy, tell him I sent you. They open at 8.

Ah...spending $20 on a car wash in the middle of winter is slightly extravigant, to say the least!

Madison Car Wash is good enough for me! I just feel bad for the poor dryers, standing out in the cold.

I also feel bad for the people I knock over trying to follow my car through the car wash window wall as it goes down the line!

Beep...beep!!
