Midwest West Meets/Midwest BS Thread

My garden hose lives in the basement. Doesn’t freeze not being outside

 

i only have an outside faucet, usually its covered up with insulation so the pipe does not freeze!
also i don't care for my driveway to be covered in a sheet of ice

plus the weight of this 'slop' i just don't see how it will hose off with a simple garden hose?
the power wand takes some sitting before it breaks off sometimes, its real packed in there most of the time, maybe your truck is different? IDK

 

I don’t try to blast off the ice bergs, I just let them hang out until they fall off. If it’s not above freezing, mine doesn’t get washed even though there’s heated wash bays in town.

 

ok, how about this angle, i prefer to not let the slop follow me into the garage to just melt and fall off on the concrete floor!
not saying that it has not ever happened, but it has, i don't like to hose it down if its below zero because the locks or door handles can get frozen and harder to open in the morning, but then there are times i just park it in the driveway, which makes a much harder startup in the morning when its 0

 

Move to the south and you won’t have that problem

 

There’s a real easy solution

 

then you gotta hose off the broom

 

This is a thread of first world problems lol

 

i am going to presume that after i get the new extreme coatings on i may not have as many issues to fret about and have more confidence
3x chip resitant
3x chemical resistant

so far the section on the driver side i was able to put 2 heavy coats of extreme primer seems to be doing ok but i have not inspected close up with a halogen light!
no anticorrosion stuff has been sprayed on it either, not until i can get a top coat of chassis paint on it

i would not have the winter fun moving to the south,
where in the south does it get down to 0 degrees in the morning where i can walk outside barefooted to grab what i gotta grab!
its hardcore mid west life!

 

Inside a closed bay at the firehouse. Figure when you drive it on a rainy day, the water will wash the salt and dirt away while the ff protects everything it’s on

 

Nice!

 

This rental house of mine has a water spigot inside the garage. Hmmmmmm. And drains, too.

 

are you having a mod day?

 

lol. I don't even have a workbench, floor jack or a complete pair of jack stands right now. Prrooooobably not anytime soon.

 

just a cookout/hangout and taco talk would probably be good for most!

 

It’s fucking cold outside

 

Indoor cookouts just don't have the same ring to them.

 

Agree

 

I am an ambassador in Toyota Ladies United for Kansas! We have an event in the works in Euerka Springs, Arkansas for a weekend in June. This event will include women all over the midwest. We need to know a estimated number of people that would be interested in coming down as Euerka Springs allows car groups to have parades and it would be pretty badass to have a group of women with badass Toyotas Families are welcome also TIA

 

how do penguins survive!?
