Yeah, I'm ready for winter to be over. That said, I am amazed at how well the car has handled in the snow. I've been out in just about every snowstorm we've had, and I haven't had problem. Like a tank...

I'm pretty sure I could use a decent set of snowshoes. The Eagle runflats kind of...are not so good on mushy snow. But apart from that, it's been awesome.

I ran mine through a LaserWash yesterday. I'm looking more British Racing Green rather than British Racing Grime...ugh! Of course we're going to get dumped on again tomorrow... the cycle never ends.
I washed mine a week ago, but now it looks just as bad as it did before. I have salt stripes running across the side of the car.
Yesterday I spent 2 hours digging my Subaru out of a poorly planned parking spot at our cottage 1/2 hour NW of Madison. Looking at 5-8 more inches of snow today and hoping I will be able to get out tomorrow.
Spring is around the corner... or, take 48 hours and just drive due south and back for a detail and a nice night at a hotel! Crap - just pack some towels and tire dressing in a duffel an go! An impromptu driver's weekend is what every mini owner needs this time of year!

- all clean!

Reason: Can't spell...
Seriously, I don't think I've ever gone this long between washes....
