Ahh the joys of owning a black car, LOL, but it looks sooooooo good when it's clean 
Black car + gravel/dirt road = constant work. And I hate it when it rains just enough to do that to my baby. Mine looked like that the other day. Was going to wash it then watched the weather and it was supposed to rain the next day and it did, 3.5 inches in an hour. Washed most of those spots off but it still needs a good bath.

I can beat that - along with a bunch of rain we got the past 2 days it's going to mix with SNOW tomorrow. I hope it doesn't stick and I hope they don't hall the salt out. I have to take Precious to get the emissions tested Saturday. I hope it is nice then.

I hope so to, actually they are talking 80's this Friday - crazy weather! I still haven't taken the plastic insulation off my windows yet (house windows are very drafty).

wow - weird!!! it is like that here to an extent too. in the early springtime, snow one day, 60's the next. until the middle of the summer it will be super chilly out in the morning and at night as soon as the sun goes down, to the point where i would go from heat to air conditioning back to heat all in the same day. a little consistency would be nice sometimes huh!!

We really needed the rain but now it needs to dry out a bit (hubby got the boat stuck backing to the barn/boat shed - that's what he gets for putting his boat undercover and making my baby sit outside). I think we supposed to get more this weekend. Of course once it does get dry, it'll be dry for months so we gotta take it how ever we can get it. We had been under a burn ban for months.
A friend of mine that lives down towards Houston said they got 12" in about three hours.

ok so i promise i won't post pics EVERY time i wash my car, but you guys have to see the nastiness that was my poor car earlier today. i went to go grab lunch and came out to this. i almost cried. i was rather embarrassed driving down the street! it rained just a little bit last night, just enough to wet the car. dried overnight, resulting in......
SO, 4 hours and a sore back later, he is doing much better!!
washed, dried, waxed, cleaned the tires, scrubbed the rims, cleaned the glass, cleaned/conditioned all the leather front and back, and cleaned the whole interior. i even got on the stepladder so i could clean the top of the car and the glass on the sunroof. which was not fun, since a.) i'm deathly afraid of heights and b.) the stepladder wobbles like crazy. but i made it! i'm quite sore and am hungry all over again and i still have to pack (work road trip leaving tomorrow till wednesday), but my car is clean!!!!

Ok, I do not feel bad being the short one. I have to have Kevin wash right in the middle of my car on top because I cannot reach!!
