Default Post your dirty boxes up

Since it's winter and all I wanna see who has the dirtiest box out there :p




Gotta love all the brown slush all over her. She started out clean and after a 10mi trip to walmart and the gas station she looked like that

Man that salt slush scum is hard on a car. I grew up in Rochester, NY...the salt slush capital of the world I think. Back in the 70's that crap would put holes in new cars in 3-4 winters. If it is below about 20 degrees all the time it doesn't do much but as soon as it starts to melt it runs in everywhere. In NY people that cared went to a spray wash every time they possibly could on a 30 degree or more day and sprayed as much of that crap off as possible. Remember the Chevy Vega?? They had a spot in the upper rear of the front fenders that trapped salt slush. Those cars had holes in the fenders (in the upper rear just forward of the upper door hinge area on the outside of the fender.....about the spot the our xB has its side turn indicators) in 2 winters

Wow. I guess living on Guam does pay off, don't have to worry about thick snow. (only typhoons). Kinda hard to take a dirty pic of my car, it's dirty, but still looks clean. God I love TCM.

That fell in TEN MINUTES? You should probably be running away.

Default TRYIN' TA CATCH ME RIDING DIRTY D:

This is my daily and only, in case you can't guess. It doesn't get more stock than this, and dirty as hell. I've had to stop for windshield washer fluid three times since the last time I got gas. @.@

This lovely black-top-top-white-on-bottom beast lives in the Chicago suburbs, and no, that's not glare - it's salt. I no longer park the car near the forest preserve, for fear that when I come out deer will be licking my car.

This is the very same Scion from my previous post that was spastically bouncing because of snow in the hubcaps - and since I washed it three times that week in hopes of fixing that problem, this box isn't getting cleaned again until I have to impress somebody. ;) ...which'll be in two weeks when I go see the new Scions at the auto show. O_O


I'm sort of amazed that light still passes through these headlights.


Please don't take my baby away, Scion Police!



Sort of looks like I drove over an ice cream cart or something, huh?


I'm sort of tempted to show up at a show in June or August with a car that looks like this, just to see the looks on peoples' faces.

don't hate on me for ridin' dirty! D:

I should take a pic of mine right now. Its pretty horrible. I drive 40 miles a day to work and back so the salt piles on quickly. Everytime I get home its worse....
