Default Washing the car the end of December

73 degrees and sunny here in Wash DC today on Dec 27th. AMAZING. I had the top down on the car and washed it in shorts and a t-shirt today. That has NEVER happened this time of year in northern Virginia.



All you guys in Texas and Oklahoma as well as Missouri are really getting slammed by the weather...8" of snow in New Mexico and its like Spring here in the East.

I just flew into Oxnard ca from New Jersey. It's warmer in New Jersey than in Southern California!

The snow covering the majority of the country was beautiful from 30000 feet.

Great picture. Too much cold/snow here in Colorado. Luckily, we're moving back to Dallas in less than 60 days. Good bye cold weather. Have to wake up the p-car from its nap soon.

Washed mine on Dec 24 here in Boston area, it was 65. Today need to change the oil and put her down for the winter. Someday soon be living in Florida where I can drive year round. Nothing like the curvy/hilly roads here in NE though Florida is mostly flat and straight.

Finally stopped raining here in NE Oklahoma. Just south of where I live received 18" of rain in two days. Lots of flooding as you would expect.

I gotta say your car looks stunning ... Between the color of the car, the black roof and those wheels
