I don't usually photograph my car dirty so this from last year is the best I have. She's spotless at the moment.
Xpel wrap on the front and Sottozero winter tires in OE size on OE rims

It's all a huge overreach, and ultimately, I think all of this insanity will get slapped down in the highest courts. You might even have another landmark opinion from the Supremes. Until then, I take some small comfort in the knowledge that there's a huge difference between a law, and the political will to enforce it. As offensive and wrong as these laws are, I know that there are VERY few, if any, peace officers in this state that are keen on enforcing this stuff. Smog laws are a parallel, and equally frustrating battle. Let's just say that I am very weary of having people who can command jet aircraft for their private transportation tell me how destructive my car is. Sorry for the left turn off topic. Just wanted to address your comment. The weather here is great, and if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford it, it's a great place to live. But I don't blame anyone from the rest of the country for wanting to avoid it like the plague. |

LOL, that is funny, I agree. It's funny when Oprah tells you to save the earth, yet flies from like Chicago to Santa Barbara daily. Or even as much as I love Leonardo DiCaprio, he talks about climate change, then hops on a 150ft diesel yacht with 20 models (not that I wouldn't do the same if i had his money

Not exactly, although one of the chief concerns is nitrous oxides as a byproduct of combustion, turbine engine development is highly focused towards efficient combustion that removes as many particulates and emissions. You'd have more of a point if you were talking about old inefficient turbojet engines, but modern turbofan engines are quite a different thing, incredibly efficient and not putting out nearly as many raw chemicals as say a diesel truck.

Nothing better than a thread where people will come in and complain about what you do with your car!

Is the rock salt taking a toll on your rear quarter panels in front of the rear wheels (i.e. rock chips)? I see you have the GM Splash Guards installed, so hopefully that helps!

Beautiful!!
Mine sleeps in the garage, hibernates all winter, and I prefer to take the Sonic back and forth to work 3 days a week (crappy parking lot) or when it rains heavily...but it also breathes fire out on the track... So...does that make it a garage monster? |
