What have you done to your CX-5 today?

New tires on my CX-5...

Have always been glad I don't have to put up with that kind of crap. It truly makes a car a "consumable" item. There's got to be a better way!

Don't blame you.

The latest joy? The past four days, or so, the carwash has been frozen-up with all the low single-digit temps. Closed. And it has pretty much meant the two-bucket DIY method has been off the table, as I don't want to be losing fingers or slip-slidin' around.

Which means one thing. All that road salt's percolating. Ugh. Am waiting for the temps to get back to above freezing, so they'll open up.

No wonder a couple of the nearby neighbors head to Florida, this time of year.

I had heard that because carwashes recycle water, it's a BAD thing to use one when roads have been salted - they concentrate the salt content of the water and actually inject MORE salt into the undercarriage.

Not sure if that's true or not. Anyone have any facts?
