We all know the ones kept in the garage belong to your wife - while yours has to sit out in the cold.

I drive mine year around. It is so dirty now you could write your name on it. No way in hell I will let it sit and drive a lesser car for five months.

Did you clean your car off after the snowfall or just let it naturally melt? I was worried about removing the snow and scratching the paint so I just let it melt.

I wish, but I cant afford a bigger house in this neighborhood. Geographically I'm in the perfect location.
I did look at a house not far from here with a 4 car garage, but the house needed so much work and the asking price was 1.5 million.

I always "carefully" clean it off when the snow stops.
