Im glad its been raining here after seeing that pic!
HOLY SHNIKIES! Im glad I live in the south! I think Ive only seen snow 3 times in real life. Although floods and hurricanes do suck as well. Katrina killed my '88 300z. :doh:..........I cant believe how low of mileage some of you guys have on your cars either! :face_shocked:
Now that was a blessing IMO! Well at least as long as you have insurance.Quote:

nothing out of the ordinary. whenever i get the car washed i have the underbody sprayed.Quote:

i had it at the body shop in 2007 after that incident with the hay bale and the body shop also had a black WS6 LS1 car there, probably a 2001/2002 and the body shop owner (whom i've known for over 10 years) said that my 95 was cleaner underneath than that car. it's all about keeping it out of the snow/salt
My 95 (134K) lived it's entire life in SoCal until the guy got a job transfer to Michigan. The underside of it is nearly as nice as my 94. Neither of them have seen winter weather though. I was litterally blown away when I put new suspension components on the 95 that everything backed off so easily.
Location definitely makes a difference.
yeah when i had my oil pan gasket changed last year jpack said that he was amazed that he was actually able to take off my Y pipe without breaking the bolts.Quote:
