lol. Dirtiest Scion on the internet: how to win and lose at the same time.

I'm in Elk Grove, and I work in Schaumburg. I know, they're like five miles apart, but they're obviously five VERY DIRTY miles.

I see you picked up your box in Oak Brook... if you ever have a breakdown in Schaumburg, tell them to flatbed your toaster back to Oak Brook. I have NEVER had a good experience at Schaumburg Toyota or Scion.

Right on man. I'm in Forest Park. They love salting here.
I gotta say, Oakbrook has some sketchy maintenance stuff going on (I've routinely had a 20 minute oil change take an hour because they forget to give the key to the cashier (WTF?))
Continental in Countryside is where I take mine now.

I have a question for you guys that have to deal with snow and salt. Do you wait until the season is over to wash? Does the elemnts of this nature kinda ruins your cars finish?

Hell no - we get the dirty gray salt/snow mung-mix off ASAP - but good luck finding a place to do it! I've gone to the super BP carwash at Broadway and Irving Park Rd for SIX days straight, only to find a line of six or more every damn time. That's easily a 30-minute wait. No thanks.

I love PennDOT (Pennsylvania Dept of Transportation). They completely cover the road with salt. It's hard to tell right now if the roads are snow covered or if they're just that white from the salt.

At last, some competition! :D And you've even managed to hang on to all the pieces of your bumper. Nice tails.

Pennsylvania damn near killed me last time I drove to DC. @_@ I don't know how you do it.

HEHE, I like how the salt makes run marks down the front grill and bumper

Living in Indiana we see alot of salt too, was going to do the rear window wiper removal mod, but hell I'd never been able to see out the back window in the winter...

Go Colts!!

Sorry, no dirty pics. The few times it was dirty I didn't take pics and now it doesn't get driven in the rain anymore.
