Default Anybody eles have da itch?

Well it's the third weekend of January and it's 57 fun loving degrees out side,so I rolled my *** outa bed early,washed the truck then the wifes Van. Then spent 2hrs hand waxing the truck.Man my truck came out awesome I just took some pics of it.
Yeah I know it's kinda queer that IM talking pics of my truck but what the heck it's frigging almost 60 out side.I guess this is one of the side effects of warmer weather in the dead of winter......

I took one close up just so you can see how clean it came out,you can see my house,van,garage,& me in the pic.

Anybody eles get the winter bug and wash theirs?

Oh yeah I got the itch....I've had it!!

I got my truck at the end of October and I still haven't gotten to (hand) wash it yet.....Michigan weather for you. I've only sprayed it down/rinsed it like 3 times.
I ALWAYS take care of my cars and this is the first time one of my cars has been "neglected" for this long!! Poor thing is sooo dirty.

Plus I got my 4.10 gears & Dana Trak-Lok sitting at home waiting to be installed.

I'm gonna order a K&N intake too, but there's no hurry/point in that since I gotta wait until spring (2-3 more months) to put it on.

Can't wait until some warmer weather arrives!!!


Your truck looks good though!! Wish I could be cleaning mine too though

Like Pepperhead said, it's been raining for the past 33 days and I would love to wash mine too.[:@] My truck looks like crap. Now that we're going to have some breaks in the rain, I'm going to wash it.

My truck looks almost tan instead of black. I have too travel a road everyday that is also a main travel route for dump trucks and logging trucks. I can wash it and it will be crapped up again in 3 days! If the rain stops Thursday or Friday and the temp is good I plan to wash.

I'd rather have mine muddy.

I haven't washed it yet, and really don't have much intention on doing so until the snow's gone.

I finally broke down and braved the coolness and sprinkles and washed mine yesterday afternoon. Couldn't stand it any more! What an amazing site to see them alloy wheels do have some shine to em. Stayed clean a whole 16 hours. Until I left for work at 7am today. Oh well-so goes life.
