Moderate amounts of rain lately plus my friend’s long gravel driveway mean I now have an off-road edition Mazda6.

Mine hasn’t been cleaned since the start of fall semester so it pretty bad. I just haven’t had the time to spend a couple hours cleaning it. I have cleaned the interior though because not doing so would be gross.

Mine is also an off-road edition. Much to its chagrin.

The Forte is horrifying. It's been off-road and I've been to fires and sewer backups. My poopy Ash covered boots are in the passenger footwell

They finally salted the roads here.

Except they decided they were also going to pre-salt for the rest of the year. And scrape up the top quarter inch of pavement while doing so. My white car is now black.

Mini’s have a lot of clearance in the rear (the bottom of the bumper is above the half way point on the rear tires) and a raked forward back of the car. The end result is that anything that passes under the car gets sucked up and plastered onto the rear window. This means that you can’t see anything out the back of the car in under 5 minutes of driving on a damp winter highway. Combine that with my rear wiper blade having no rubber on that because I’m a cheap bastard and don’t want to pay $20 for a replacement proprietary BMW 11" wiper blade and driving in winter weather really sucks.

Artsy photo taken by a friend at an Ice Time Trial last winter to demonstrate the perpetual condition of the rear of my car during the winter:

He had to clean the rear window with windex to expose the sticker.

I finally got Genie clean using the car wash last week (so I cheated), but I need to go over her by hand again while the weather lets me so I can do a good waxing for the winter.
