Some of you asked for pictures when I posted my introduction, well finally here is a link to a couple... (BTW, nothing special here as it is bone stock)

It isn't the cleanest, but we are into the dirty season here where it is next to impossible to keep it clean.

The colour is supposed to be Steel Blue Metallic, but it looks whitish given that they sprinkle salt quite liberally on the roads around here.

Those of you from the Ottawa area... can you guess where the 2nd picture was taken given the landmarks?

Looking good... My Neon's just a bit jealous though, she's never got to play in the snow.

Makes me miss my steel blue. Love the color and the scenery but the poor thing desperately needs a bath!

Agreed!

But, around here right now with the streets wet from salt it is a never ending battle to keep it clean. Until the roads dry up the best I can do is spray the worst off at the DIY car wash and get another coating of dirt on the way home.

In January & February I may clean it up and just leave it parked most of the time.

She's sitting in my parent's spare garage until I can scrape up the cash to fix the transmission that went out in April.

I used to go down and visit, you know, playing the stereo and just relaxing but I killed the battery last month (too much bass) and its too freaking cold to sit in a place with no heat. Hoping tax return will be big enough so that she can get on the road again.

Yeah, I can understand that. At least you're doing your best to keep the salt off. Thats one thing that I would be worried about, my car being eaten by all the salt. My state lays down gravel so I would get horrible rock chips instead.

^ I'll cross my fingers that you'll be back on the road again real soon. It would totally suck not to have my baby running for me. Good luck...
