Dirty Winter Car Thread

[brettbimmer]

Reflecting as to how we were successful with the Bumpered Bug Pics thread here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?2147-Bumpered-Bug-Pics&highlight=bugs, I thought that we could use something similar, dedicated to our dirty winter car photos. Let's see some winter wonders! :biggrin

Here is a shot of my 318ti this morning at the post office after a 1,500 mile road trip. My hood and roof resemble a monotone Jeff Koons M3 in road-film gray. Too cold out for a bath just yet. :crying

This photo is after the massive icebergs have at least melted off from behind the wheels, but it shows why I'm REALLY glad I elected to pick up the Outback for a winter driver, and leave my ZHP warm, dry and clean in the garage. The Subie has been taking one for the team through a bunch of crappy weather, and with its Altimax Arctic snows and freaky good ground clearance, she's a beast in the snow.

No transition here, just salt and crud and ice and snow and cold... Truck passed me and splashed, it was painful to see.
I had washed it the day before to get rid of the first salt dump on the streets.
I should have taken a pic that day.

I was at Boston market getting food, didn't get stuck (although I almost did on a hill at a red light...didn't time the light properly)

Roads were trash, easily 3+ of powder on heavy traveled roads.

The Michelin Ice-Xi3 tires are 10000% better than the LM-25s. The car actually does really well. And add the fact that LSD should be bought this year...hopefully...it will only improve

I assume you've already checked to see if it just happens to be frozen? Some people add straight water to their washer tanks, which dilutes the washer fluid andhinders it's ability to resist freezing.

Very true.

My 128 had pure water in the car. I had to transfer pump it out before winter as a precautionary, and it paid off.

Probably Genuine, just because.

Are those not 17's? Or is the profile of the tire larger?

Honestly after getting my Apex Arc-8's, I will choose 17's all day every day. Tires are a lot cheaper for one, and the cushiness puts my mind at ease when driving through the city. There have been a few times I've hit an unavoidable bump (nothing sizeable but enough to really feel it) and I'll shout out "SEVENTEENS BABY"

They're 16" replicas. I got them with the car.

There is a bit of a comfort when I switch to the winter tires from the 135s. I've had a bubble on the old summer tires, which I wasn't sure if they came from a pothole or sidewall scrape. 18s seem to do alright otherwise, and I hope I don't have anymore issues like that.

They just finished up and used that new PEX pipe that expands if it freezes. There going to be some trickling faucets on the cold nights now. That meter is at ground level and the pipe is many 18” under ground!

Lessons learned? 1) white cars don't show dirt very easily, 2) Arizona "winters" are awesome

Looking good 8-)

I took delivery of a '15 Golf TDI SEL yesterday. Replacement for my wife's '08 TSX (which I now need to sell).

That’s the dilemma... the good thing is it’s not worth much..., but my wife would most likely not buy that argument...”why do you need two cars...?” [emoji848]

Just start rattling off production numbers, and reasons why the ZHP is a special car?

I've always had 2 cars for the last 20 years, and it's kept me from getting bored with either, much better than owning one car did in the past. You could try that argument - "we'll be saving money because I'll be keeping my cars longer". She probably won't buy it, but it's worth a shot! I've mostly had one "practical" and one "fun" car when I've paired up.

Somehow no pic at the old house of the ZHP & Golf together. How'd I miss that?

I love the M Coupe, love it. I could make an argument that it is practical.
