I've considered ponying up the $15/month for a local (ish) car wash to be able to do this but:

 

A) On nice days, there is NO WAY that I will wait in that stupid line, wasting $3 worth of gas, for them to half-heartedly wash my truck with a "touchless" wash system. And, I won't use the ones that actually contact the paint.

 

B) There's WAY too much road distance between my house and the car wash to wash it there and Z8 it at home.

 

C) I would consider a manual car wash, but on nice days the people behind me don't appreciate me pulling out a wash bucket. :)

 

So, looks like I'm relegated to washing and drying at home - hour's work.

An hour is not bad if you're young. I used to wash all 3 vehicles every week, by hand. Retired, got busy with 6 grandkids, got a little lazy... :nonod: ... So the drive-thru works for me. Never a line and only a mile from my house. Can't beat it for $19 a month. :cheers:

For me, the line is the death nell. When the weather is nice during the warm weather, there are never less than a dozen cars deep in line. The weather clears after the snow has fallen, that line length is double. There's just no way I'm waiting in a line like that.

I agree. There are about 4 auto-washes here in my town. Three are right on the main roads. The one that's only a mile from me, is not only close, but it's off the beaten path. Not that many people are willing to drive a couple blocks off the main road. They'd rather wait in those lines that wrap around the corner!

 

For me it's perfect. I've never had to wait for more than one car in two years. (Being retired helps. I can go whenever I want... not prime time.) :P

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
