Ever wash your car, only to see it freeze?

Before:




AFTER:





That last picture was taken with the spoiler becoming one sheet of ice. Even the soap was freezing.

Pics were taken afterwards at the local Honda distribution plant. Anyone looking for floor mats, body parts, or cf interiors, this is your place to raid! Not to mention the stash of S2000s, new accords, and a couple NSXs.

Umm, no...

It is a distribution warehouse, the general public is not allowed. I got kicked off the propert shortly after taking these pics. The security guard didn't recognize my car as a Honda until i told that is what the "H" stands for

I know where that place is... Right near Bradley right?
I never knew what they did there though. For some reason I never thought it was associated with the automobile devision of Honda.

i went through the same problem last weekend. i had to soak a rag in hot water and wipe off the frozen soap that was left behind. it's been cold as a mo'F##ka up here in New England lately. Man, you are brave for washing it urself, i use the rool through ones and barely clear the rails with my kit.

You know, Neel... now that you have those Winter rims on... I can clear you some space in your garage by taking the SSR's off your hands.

That;s why i don't tell anyone where i live...those SSRs are safe and sound.

How are those H&Rs treating you? if i still had those, my car would have ripped the front lip off.

HAHA... yeah... well, lemme be somewhere in that line if you ever decide to part with the SSR's ...

The H&R's are great! Although, I probabally wouldn't scrape my Apexi WS on my apartment speedbump if I had the Tanabe's back in there. ;-)

what's worse is when you just wash and wax your car only to have it snow a few hours later, damn winter! what's funny is when your liquid wax starts to freeze up dOH!
