My last thread:

I think I killed the pics, so they might be gone by the time you go to the link, but
it's from the same picture set as my sig pic. :boo:

I have unlimited drive through carwashes, so my car is usually somewhat
clean. Decided to take it out for some quick snap shots today:

Very overcast day, but you can see that the lighting was still mostly from
above. Lost the side of the car in shadows. Oh well, at least the lens is sharp :D

If it hadn't SNOWED today, I probably would have put the summer wheels back on by now....

haha snow FTL!

I'll have to keep a lookout for you car... you know what mine looks like so wave or honk or something if I drive by...

And if you're missing any body panels... it's because I stole them :lawl:

Every time I see a black 6thgen with a NON-crappy hood, I have to hold back from stealing it.

...so your hood better watch out!

I have a few dents in the hood... it wouldn't be my first choice to steal! Do you like convertibles? My roof has some hail damage, yours could be missing one morning!

PS - I'm not parking in the East River Road garage anymore, since you know I'm usually there. haha.

unlimited washes? lol must be nice.
$20/month for unlimited washes :squintrun:

In MN winters it pays for itself. Sometimes I go twice a day :D

Not sure if I'll continue for the summer, hand washing still looks so much better...

So true! If there were washes like that in DT St. Paul that weren't out of my way I'd go.

This winter I went to the pay 'n spray for $2.25 on $0.75 Tuesdays to wash my car weekly or more than weekly.

This one is less than a block away from my work, so sometimes I stop there beforehand if I'm
early. Then if it rained or something during the day, I'll stop again after work, haha!

Only issue is 1 stall and 5-10 min cycle depending on which wash you choose. If more than
about 3 people are in line it's not worth the time. That's when going at 6AM comes in handy :D

BTW, I do mine through Holiday gas station's "Laserwash" I think it's called. Touch free and
quite a few locations. Probably one decently close to you.

I used to have a DIY wash fairly close (Hwy 10 up 35W a ways from the cities) that had 50
cent Tuesdays, but it closed 2 yrs ago. My car has seen WAY less good washes since then :(
