Markham/Scar/Toronto RX 8
Pretty quiet here this week.
So, who's coming out for a wash tomorrow? That was a pretty big storm we had, I bet there are some dirty cars in here! That plus the allure of Richmond Court ... who can resist?

I probably won't be able to make it, too much work backed up.
Question for you all: I had a look at the forecast. After March 10th it seems the daytime temps will be > 10C.. would it make sense to swap back to summers then or just hold out for a bit longer?

@maitre - where are you thinking of meeting up?
@c_ls - if you are getting an insurance break for having winters on then you MUST hold out until the end of March at the earliest - check with them for more details.

I assume thw usual meetup, 10pm at Valleymede Shell (that's hwy7, west from the 404). Hopefully some people are hungry after that ehhh? 
re: winter tires, I would probably go not off of the high temps, but off of the averages. i.e. if we're seeing average highs of 10, but average lows of 0, then the overall average is 5 ... not enough for me. I want to see a full week of overall avrage 8 in the forecast, before I switch.

D'oh, it's raining! Why didn't someone warn me sooner?! Well I imagine this is enough to keep most of you away, but I think I will drop by the wash anyway, as I happen to need gas as well. Failing that, there's always next week...
Mine is still tucked away nicely, had a peak under the cover today.
1 more month to go before the car comes out, but in the mean time i ordered a set of screens for the oil coolers and ac from racing beat,should get them next week and will give me something to do

Proof
I'm surprised nobody came out for a free car wash last night! As you can see, it went pretty well. :P
So at this point, maybe we should be working on a seasonal opener meet, or a Spring Cruise or something. Meanwhile, we had better get at least one more decent winter car wash meet in though. I insist.

So I've never actually made it to ANY of the washes you guys have done there before lol what do I need to bring to wash (bucket? soap? chamois?) ? and how much is it roughly?
--- oh if it ends up snowing tmr (which the weather network seems to hint at ...) I may just chill with you guys and eat rather than wash my always-dirty-slowbaru.
I'm likely not going to wash my Subaru (kind of lazy and I think it looks better when its dirty anyways :P) - but I'll def come out and help you guys out at the car wash and grab a drink at richmond court after. Lemme know !!!
Wow, Kafka is coming out, I will also try my best to make it tonight. Will actually come for sure now.
So tonight 10pm-ish at the Valleymede & HW 7 that Shell gas station~

Damn, too bad I couldn't make it. Looks like every other Friday is out for me generally, and it seems to be those Fridays that end up being the good ones. Well, if we can meet any earlier, I could more likely hang out for a bit on a work night. Lucky for me I got my "wash" in last week ... :D
Any potential interest in this Friday? Failing that, we'll want to be considering a season-opener ...
