Yeah, well, the Inconvenient Truth is that there 'aint no global warming where we live! lol. My outside hoses were frozen so... I broke down and went to the local car wash today and used the self service bay (where I paid $2.50 for 2 minutes of water/soap) and gave my XF a little rub down. My S40, however, is beyond help at this point. The salt has literally turned it white. 28 degrees today and colder tomorrow. That last paragraph did make me wince a bit. Thats okay though. Mine is here to stay!
