after a brutal week of arctic winter weather, with snow up the wazoo, the past few days has seen temps in high 50's and mid 60's....first thing I did, was take my '97 down to car wash . and wash the bleep out of her...getting all that winter grime off her....than took her home, and gave her the first good waxing of 2021..she shined up well.....but winter's not over by a long shot....expect one more wintery blast...before spring shows up...I'll down load recent pics sometime later...lol
