If I lived in the north (So glad I don't) or any location that had bad weather or any seasonal weather going on when I was nominated ROTM I would not worry too much about being able to shine it up, but take the weather as an opportunity to maybe make a vid of the truck in action. I think it would be awesome to see a VX drifting through the snow slinging muddy ice with all 4 wheels spinnin! Same if it were hurricane season here in FL (and one actually hit) it might be fun to see my truck in a vid climbing through and around fallen palms and burried/flooded low rider import cars!!! Just a thought that it doesn't have to be shiney to be a great rig, and from the pics in your gallery I think it would be awesome to see your truck in action much more than shiney in the driveway.
