I really wish I lived in a place where it was worth clay barring, waxing and dedicating myself to cleaning my car. It gets dirty in a day up here, especially with it raining/snowing lately.
It doesn't help when I visit the horse shows with the MS3 lol.

have two words for you: mud flaps; highly recommended.

Lol. Mud flaps just give your car a place for snow to better build up in your wheel wells.

lol rally armor ftw?
not tru, mine luves gettin sideways in the dirt, and doing reverse donuts =]
wrong. when you driving it falls away. just don't let it build up and freeze - but has nothing to do with flaps same would happen without them.
are you saying it's better to spray salt and s*** all over your car?
having no flaps and driving in salty snow/mud is like wearing condom lol

Not to mention the bugs. Especially lovebug season. If someone told me that I could press a button and make my car immune to lovebugs, but an innocent person somewhere in the world would die, I would not hesitate. I would smack the crap out of that button. Several times, just for good measure.
The rain/road grime issue, combined with lots of construction in my area were what prompted me to get Metro Grey. They had White & Black on the lot, but I knew both would be a nightmare to keep clean.

You're right. I must no nothing about snow and how it gets packed into wheel wells and mudflaps and freezes while you drive. Sorry for being a dumb Canadian. I do not have knowledge of this "snow" you speak of.

It happens either way. Mudflaps do stop grime and other crap from being flung up onto the side of the vehicle while driving, but its not going to matter when its snow/slush it'll freeze and pack up inside the wheel well.
I live in Saskatchewan so I deal with the same winters you do and personally mudflaps would be a nice thing to have.
being Canadian has nothing to do with that. but I understand your sarcasm when you live in Can and see smbd from Chicago talking about snow (despite the fact winters are alright here)You're right.

for twenty years I lived and about eight years I used to drive around Carpathians; the harshest conditions ever; Midwest winters look like joke to me after that kind of experience;
and believe me or not I know a lot about driving in snow and what happens around all that.

I wasn't waving a Canadian banner if that is what you think. I was merely referencing my geographical location.
Your first post seemed to have a little bite. I responded in turn.
I know my experience with mudflaps on small cars have not been good. I drive 120km's a day for work on the highway and by the time I get where I am going, snow and slush in my wheel wells has frozen. It gets bad enough one way to work, that by the time I get there, snow and ice is rubbing on my tires. Having a mudflap hanging down behind my tire (thereby increasing the surface area for snow and slush to collect around the tire) has created more issues for me.
If you had good experiences with mudflaps on small cars in the winter, that is great. This line sounds like sarcasm, but it's not. Anything to protect your car and paint is great if it works without hindering your experience or causing problems.
I was just expressing my view on mudflaps in the winter on small cars. Your view may differ. I think we should end it at that. I do not want to start a pissing contest on a forum, especially about something as minor as mudflaps.
Cheers, (beer)
