I go to the do it yourself quarter fed places.. for 3 bucks in quarters I can hose it down, foaming brush the entire car and rinse it off and clear coat it. always looks better then coming from a drive through place.
though twice a year it is not a terrible idea to go through a drive through if they have underbody washing and whatnot.. the Z is not an easy car to clean underneath!

^^I learned my lesson the hard way, luckily I learned it before I got the Z. Nothing touches my paint accept a very gentle mit.
Take a bucket with you to the car wash... something.

you minute man you!Like I said, i prefer to was the Z myself. Yes, i'm aware that my car can get scratched at the car wash. But...How can you really was a car by spraying mr. clean all over it? To actually wash your car, you have to "WASH" it. Unless you have a professional washing machine that's pushing over 1000 psi, then you are NOT going to effectively do the job (clean the dirst out) by spraying your car. But if you really want to save time, maybe you should use your house's sprinkler system to wash your car. That way, when i'm done
you will have enough time to take my load. lol

If you didn't understand my humor it wasn't that important. But since you asked about my TYPO's, let me clarify something a 3rd grader could decipher.
Now, I said "[B]i prefer to was the Z myselfB]", it is very clear that this was a TYPO. What was intended to say was "i prefer to wash the Z myself". If you didn't see this, read the context, we were talking about washing our cars. Could you really not see this?
Anyways I also mispelled dirt and accidentally typed dirst. Wow, read the context again.

no need to get all bent over it man. I've got common sense enough to understand a typo, twas a joke.
my main concern was that sexually harassing comment at the end!
"That way, when i'm done you will have enough time to take my load. lol"[/COLOR]
It's hopeless to argue in someone else thread over a joke, but...

Trackdays, tires and brake pads make me broke. I think i have a problem, maybe some wed night group therapy will help. Doubt it, they all go to the track with me.

I hear all of you about +1 on washing your own car, but if you live in the south like Georgia, like I do you can't wash your own car because of a little thing we call a drought. And trust me I would rather wash my car than have anyone else wash my car. I also like to take pride in my car as well.

+1 on that. No point washing it if you're going to get crap all over the front end at the track next weekend anyways!
