I feel you bro. I go to school at UWO and I DD my car too :-( Hopefully we have an early spring so we can get our cars detailed and get the summer rims/tires back on soon.

BTW as a side note, have you ever been to that detail shop by wonderland and sarnia near the Acura dealership? great prices, quick, and a good job.

Definitely, because bar a few days/a week or two out of the season it's 60's-80's in Winter.

So perfect.

Biggest plus: You don't have to shovel the heat.

I remember a few years ago I was able to make one snow ball in Houston. That was fun.

Nice! Mine looked like that 2 days ago. Visiting my parents right now and I borrowed their garage for the weekend to melt all that ice, then i'll give it a nice wash.
Just get a clear bra on the front and a fresh coat of wax (I went with 2 step nano-coating) and it'll be fine for the winter.

Well, at least you're driving it as a Daily. Thats cool. go out and do some donuts; learn its capabilities. Makes the snow more fun. I got mine to drift sideways and kept it going threw 4th gear. was pretty fun.

Holy crap! How does it drive with all that snow?! Are you using studs or studless snow tires?
