washed waxed and ready for winter storage
Winter storage? Does you that mean you're going to keep your car parked in the garage all winter?
Got a tip for us?

Winter storage? Does you that mean you're going to keep your car parked in the garage all winter?
May I ask why? Just out of curiosity since we don't really get winters down here.
Salt on the roads is bad for the car, not to mention a lot of sports cars don't handle well in the snow.
this^ in addition to the fact that I work alot in winter so I dont have as much time to enjoy it so I drive my beater to work. better gas milage and runs like a champ and only cost me 1000 bucks so I could care less what happens to it (snow, salt, deer, dents etc)
Yeah, he did. He got one for his wife about two weeks ago, but then decided to replace his MINI JCW with another STI. Guess he liked it too much!
Anyways, I normally think his/her car sets are SUPER cheesy, but in this case I just can't come to that conclusion.

Thats awesome. Thanks.
Hell of an impulse buy I guess. That's a lot of dough going out for car payments, but to each their own...enjoy it.
I know when I lived in Albany, they put so much salt on the roads, I forget they are a paved road and not gravel.....and cars up their showed it
Now here in CO, we do not use salt, but magnesium chloride (which is as corrosive as water)
This is nice as up in NY, I never saw cars from the early 90's as daily drivers yet see them out here all the time
This weekend - NSXCapades 2011 in Clermont, FL.
22 NSXs total, but no way to get more than a few in a picture at once.

Reminds me of my brother's 2005 MG ZS a lot. Both of them are cars that look like they are built for function over form. There isn't a lot of coherence in the design of the panels, or the shape of anything on the car. It's as if the designer of every part was in a room on their own until the very last minute in development when they had to piece everything together.
Yes, that is correct. The Dark Gray Metallic I bought the day before Thanksgiving, and the WR Blue I bought yesterday.
I guess you know all about the discussions my wife and I had on the subject, and you are expert on my financial situation.
Hell, I had an M3 that cost almost as much as both these cars put together. Actually, our car payments now are pretty much the same as for my MINI JCW and my wife's BMW E46 330ci.

Never claimed to, just said it sounded like a hell of an impulse buy, based on what you posted about having time to think your next car purchase over while paying off the wife's new car for the next several years.
Congrats.
Saying I want to pay my wife's car off first doesn't mean I need to pay my wife's car off first. People change their minds and plans about all kinds of things.Never claimed to, just said it sounded like a hell of an impulse buy, based on what you posted about having time to think your next car purchase over while paying off the wife's new car for the next several years.

Anyway, I don't think judgmental comments (which is what it was) about other people's impulses or ability to pay for two nice cars are in the spirit of this thread, nor any other for that matter.
Where'd you hear this? Mag chloride is quite corrosive. It's the chlorides that affect corrosion, so both sodium chloride and magnesium chloride are both corrosive. Mag chloride is somewhat less corrosive, but still corrosive and detrimental to you car!

I was referencing my city's snow removal link

I think they are a little optimistic with that phrase! (I'm in the corrosion industry, and that's a wildly exaggerated claim.)
Rinse that stuff off your car as often as you can. If you like you car...
