| Is yours not shiny anymore??
Shitty weather last week has taken its toll, i just want warmer weather again. For awhile it seemed like fall was going straight to spring... oh well.
If you have snow photos, put'em up. 
I wish i would've taken a photo before when my car was totally buried under snow from the first one we had.

| mine stays parked in a garage so no snow accumulation... but salt like none other.
I washed the car this weekend, and found that some of the salt etched into my hood; there's now light spots. looks like my car has freckles. or herpes.
