Same here. At least my Vette was in the garage. My black Edge, however, looks more like a chocolate chip cookie.

Are you parked beside a construction site? Wow... That's a lot of dirt to get blown up, especially after a rain.

Nope. Front blew through last night - thunderstorms mixed with a dust storm.

Each year, the West Texas dust storms blow through. Lots of farmers in East Texas go out west (say Lubbock or Amarillo), throw wheat seeds into the dusty air and pray for rain. By the time the storms blow into East Texas, the wheat is already germinated; it just drops onto the farmers' fields - Viola - instant wheat crop.

At least the undercarriage should be relatively clean still. Good luck getting all that dirt off the car.

Try some of that dry wash stuff, hear it's great! Kidding, it's raining cats and dogs up here on the North Coast. I parked mine outside for the day so it'd get clean.

If Woody Guthrie was still around he'd be writing a song about your car there in Ok.

You mean something like, "Who honked the horn on my saddle"?

Great job, Ty.

Now you can have fun waxing it over the holiday (unless the weather warms up enough to drive).

My Ole Yeller is already waxed, awaiting my son to come home and hotshoe it around the local ranch roads (he's driving in from Fort Rucker, AL with his wife and 1-year-old daughter).

Is it true that you don't have Santa Claus in Oklahoma? And that, because of the soil conditions, you instead have Sandy Claws?

Happy holiday,

The Lizzard
