I give my hard-working husband one whole lot of credit for doing this ugly-bugly, uncomfortable job of undercoating our old vehicles to protect them from all the winter slush and salt we drive in several months of the year. It enables us to keep our vehicles usable and safe for much longer than they would otherwise. Thanks, hon.

Hubby just did the same here! I REFUSE to wash those coveralls when he is done. He washes them in a big bucket with hot water, soap and a stick. Just another preparation for what is to come!
Good for YOUR husband! In our house, the coveralls get the same pre-wash, but then do go into the washing machine. This season, Papa Pea has gone through one set of coveralls that ended up in the garbage. Seems the zippers on the legs had been non-functioning for some time. The main zipper up the front bit the dust a couple of days ago. At least those coveralls didn't have to be washed! :o)
Yes when we lived in Michigan that was a way of life. As well as hard working road crew guys.
Lisa K - Yep, our county crews are great in that they're out immediately whenever the weather brings adverse conditions. The salt may be really bad for our vehicles, but it does make for safer conditions on the roads.
We don't need to pay such attention to our cars here in the UK because we do not have such difficult weather to cope with......just rain! We do have a garage we could put the car into, but the garage was built in the 1970's when cars were half the size they are now, so our car won't fit the space! But hooray for your husband. And hooray for all our husbands, no matter what jobs they have to do because we either don't want to do them, or can't!
Vera - Isn't it remarkable how very small those older garages look? On the other hand, I remember those big old boat-like cars (like the classy ones with the fins in back?) and they don't seem small at all.
I think in a good relationship, each of us have our areas of "expertise", likes and dislikes so it all balances out somehow.
