The winters in Michigan are pretty brutal too. I guess if I lived in an apartment, I'd try to suck-up to a friend that had a hose and a driveway. I don't drive the Crossfire in the winter, so I don't worry too much about washing it, just dust it off every now and then. But we have other cars that we drive, and a hot and cold hose spicket in the garage so I can wash them here in the winter if I want. Last time I washed the 300 it was 17 degrees outside, but not too windy. The warm water works really well and just soapy water with it gets all the salt off, makes it look really shiny. The only problem is that when it gets driven the next day, it comes back looking just like before I washed it.

Dan, if you lived in Michigan, I bet you would have to use a hose!
