about as dirty as it gets

I hate snow. I hate washing cars in 10 degree weather even more. Luckily, I refuse to buy all season or snow tires for it, so it gets parked in a snow drift every time the weather has a freak out. You should see my winter car though... by March you can't even tell what color it is.

u should take it out and have fun with it in the snow. i had a blast in the snow last year. just cruise in second, e-brak, turn and punch it and enjoy the spinning lo.. reverse donuts are nice to
 
I hate the MS3 in winter. It is a useless vehicle in the snow/ice. It is doable (I drove it 1 winter) and with full winter tires, I can spin in 6th on the highway. Starting out in snow/ice with any kind of quickness involved results in sitting still and spinning. This is why I bought my B4000.

Torque...boost...need I say more? The car is fine in winter, keep your foot off the fun pedal in 6th lol.
 
Like I said, it is doable. Keeping your foot off the gas is the obvious key to winter driving this car, well that, and a good set of winter tires.

The best winter car I had was a 1983 Honda Accord 1.6L carbed. It started everyday without issues, even in -40C weather and with the studded cheap winter tired I put on it, it would go anywhere without issues. I used to plough through parking lots with snow coming over the hood without issue (lol2) It was gutless, but had just enough power to get her going at a good clip. It was great until the floor rotted out... go figure.

My bad, got off topic.
 
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.

ever try that "invisible shield" I thinks its a turtlewax prod ya spray it on the front of the car after you wash it, and it is fairly unnoticable and it keeps all the bugs from stickin. they wash off super easy
