Walking back and forth to class everyday has made me vow one thing:
I will NEVER live any farther North than Kentucky! Period!
24"+ of snow.. thats just insane. Alabama, Georgia, Texas... here I come.

that was the same reasoning I used when I bought my truck... I lifted it because it looks badass, not because I am an off roader, and if I do need to go off road, I can do better than a stock 4x2...

Not quite as bad as others, but here's mine. 1/2 of snow Saturday morning with single digits temps made a lil ice and the salt crews freaked out. I just washed, polished and waxed my wheels on Thursday. Can't wait for winter to end.

I know mine looks horrible right now. Been through 2 storms. One of those was on a 450 mile trip to Ohio. I feel extreme guilt when I look at my truck right now. Glad I took the 22s off for the winter. I really need a beater car.

Hey, I think your road grime looks great 
Nothing like a tough truck that's really been driven!
Seriously, I had a '95 Tahoe that had surface rust on almost every underside component after a single Utah winter. The front and rear bumpers were rusting like an old concrete plant, from within. Fortunately I garaged that POS. The F150 sits out in every kind of weather and frankly, I don't see much rust aside from a few fasteners.
