It was in the 50's up here. After washing the Dodge, I had some fun riding the 'zook around too.

Went through the express wash this morning, hate to do that to the paint, but it was as dirty as it can get and I was out of time.

BTW temp 70* and sunny right now......Last year it snowed in Houston on Christmas Eve and made for a very fun drive home from the parents about 50 miles away. Every overpass was iced and most Houston drivers... are ugh shall we say ignorant when it comes to icy roads..

Got off work Friday it was 40 out & time to wash it. Still had about 3'' of snow in the bed & so when I jumped in with a bucket soapy water I found out it had ice under the snow. So I got a bath & so did the truck.

After Hunting, took my truck to the express wash, had a brush with a hose attatched to it. Went over truck with it. Truck looked good when it was done. Got home looked over truck, only 3,300 miles on it, and had all zig-zag scratches on it!! Have a couple of nice ones that went pretty deep, think its down to the primer . I am very **** when it comes to scratches and door dings, so Imagine how I felt about this!! I think being it was only 17 degrees out, the brush had some ice on it, and I didnt notice it. Now I see how fragile the paint is on these rigs. I cant wait till spring!!!

Washed mine this morning, inside and out. Had to get it ready in case Santa brought new things for it.

Pretty warm here in WA, worked outside in just a t-shirt. Must be all that global warming...

It's raining on mine right now. Does that count?

Been hauling a wash bucket and wax all week, but no luck so far.

I drove all the way down to Vegas so I could get the mini executive wash done on it. Washed, waxed and the inside all cleaned up for $18.95. Only $8 more than going to the car wash and doing it by hand. Only thing is I have to drive it back up through the rain Monday. It has been nice visiting 70 degree weather again.

Washed my truck the end of last October. Then put it up on jackstands and covered it up. Yeah, I got the winter blues, right around the second of November. Feels like I drive a brand new truck every spring.
