Nice pictures. I had the same idea as you today, except I just did some cleaning on the inside. Took out my all-season floor mats and put back in the carpet ones that came with the car. Looks much cleaner inside now.

I've somehow made it off lucky, last two weekends were both warm enough to give the car a nice cleaning, and last weekend I even gave it a nice wax job


EDIT: ps I like those wheels what kind are they?

Did you get any of that North Dakota storm? I lived in Rochester, MN for 3 years. Those winters are harsh!

Hate your rims / tires (the size, not the design). Love the mesh in front. Can't win em all I guess.

The wheels look bigger in pictures. Plus the car hasn't been lowered yet and sits high especially in the pictures. My 19's looked way too small.

Not much here in the cities, just a good thunderstorm.

They are indeed harsh. It's funny, when I ordered my car I initially went with the 18's, then whimped out and switch my order back to 17's because I was afraid they'd get bent with all our potholes. When I got my snow tires put back on last fall, they informed me one of them barley balanced out because it's a little bent... So screw it, I'm getting 18's for the summer.
