    Default Anyone else hitting a wall because of winter and cars?

    No time or drive to work on the rabbit when it's balls cold out.... IT depresses the shit out of me that the car isn't done.

    Damn jack frost and his cold ass weather.

    I can't get my car clean enough and I'm OCD 'bout that stuff. That's what's bugging me right now.

    Yeah, I was both cars this week... it was the first time in a long time - too long.

    The shitty thing is, when it is warm enough to wash them so that things don't freeze, all the stuff on the road is melting, making it more messy out there.

    The super cold is what's really depressing...I don't have money to do stuff with my cars, but at least when it's 25*f, I can go tear them apart or fix stuff that I already have parts.


    I think mid-march I'm going to put insurance on my rabbit. I don't care if snow is around...if the roads are clear, I'll drive it.

    I went out to my storage to check on my GTI last week.

    I couldn't even open the garage door, it was ice'd shut.

    It is so cold, I don't even want to go out to finish hooking up my garage heater. Blah. At least my car is done and running well. Though I do feel bad about driving it in the salt and such.
    It is not that you CAN'T, it is that you don't know how..... YET

    I am and I'm not.
    I'm getting sick of the cold, and lack of fresh air in the house, shop, etc.
    But I'm getting excited to be able to button up my Mk2VR so I can drive it.

    driving a winter car i don't care about has been fantastic. Washed it once this winter for the studio day back in December.
