Default Can it be Spring now, please!

Washing the car after each snowfall is wearing me down. It sure would be nice to be able to keep it clean for more than a day! Not easy being compulsive about a car. ☺️

Did mine yesterday, but our trouble right now is tree pollen. Before I could finish drying off the back the hood was covered in yellow pollen. Just love the way black looks and absolutely hate trying to keep it clean.

Dude, I feel the same way! I still have my winter sets on and I am sick of waiting for it to warm up for once here in Michigan. It be average 50s later this week so I will do the swap out to summer wheels/tires. I cannot wait to stop washing the car every 2 days lately due to this unpredictable bollocks of a weather. Forgive my little british. ; )

Spring? What's that? A coil over?

We got 3 inches of snow yesterday! It's 58 now and sunny.

First day of spring [for real] in New England yesterday--almost 60 degrees and not a cloud in the sky!

The car was made in Germany was it not? I think the Euro tag makes the front of the car present much better--having a square US tag on the front looks ugly, and about 20% of the cars in MA only run one tag. I'm risking a ticket but I always have my front tag with me in the car under the floor mat if I get pulled over.

My parents have Grandfathered in Single License Plates LOL.....no front plates needed.
