Default Winter is over. Washed in the driveway.

Well, winter is finally over here. It was only upper 50's today, but it was sunny and felt good. Good enough that I broke out the hose and washed the car in the drive today.

I drove it all winter and still have my "winter tires" on it (88 16" with Falken 512 tires).

I think it cleaned up pretty well for a quick once over. I guess I didn't trash it too bad this year.

Glad winter is over somewhere...I've still got 6 foot snow banks at the end of my driveway and they are calling for a more snow today before it turns to rain !

Default More snow for the Sierras tomorrow...

Nice looking car.... Mine's black - but my second favorite color would be white.....

I keep sneaking it out between snowstorms to keep the engine, etc. loose.... but they keep coming. We've had a lot of snow here near Yosemite... and more to come tomorrow.

Oh well, maybe next week.
