Since about September. Got her in one of the very last shipments of 330's before 335 came. Got an amazing deal.

You're not crazy. At all. My car comes in sometime before x-mas and I'll be outside giving her the first wash if its 60 or 0. I'm hoping for 60.

stupid question here, but if its below 32F outside how do you use the hose? last sunday the temp was about 45F and i still had trouble because the hose was in the shade and there was a lot of ice in it. i unraveled the hose and put it in the sun and then it thawed out, but like i said the temp was 45.

i washed mine once when it was 42 outside

I've washed mine weekly since I got it. Two weeks ago, it was freakin cold, but I was out there. Not sure how I'll make it through the really cold winter days without my washing fix.

As for people looking at you like you're crazy, I've walked back to my car in a parking lot and noticed bird crap on it, immediately opened my trunk to grab the Zaino Z6 and a MF towel and cleaned it off right there. Others in the lot looked at me like I was insane, but I can't stand to have that on my car for any length of time.

I haven't done that before, but it definitely sounds like something I'd do if I had to! I did was my car on the weekend at -5 celcius (21 or 22 F?), but luckily I'm able to move my ride into my garage for the drying part!

My hose and spigot are in my garage. Garage is above freezing from the heat that leaks from the house.

Yes I am. 335. I'm getting it in the summer of 2007. So not this coming summer but the next. Gives me alot of time to prepare my list of things to do to it. Which is already quite extensive. Haha. I miss my dub. Seriously the best "first car" one could wish for.

You are Crazy!!! Where are your LUX Rings??? AH HA HA HA!
