Little story: Drove down from Sun Valley (five hours) to spend night before flight next day. Washed all the road grime off my car before going to the airport. When I got back nine days later, hardly recognized my little orange Honda car. It was covered in grime from winter inversion. Went to car wash and washed the car again.
