    tunnels are notoriously bad, so i'm going to go with hand washing is probably best

    We have a water crisis, I'd rather shower than hear you polish your turd s13.

    Save car washes for nice ****.

    are you serious? What do you think? A) sprayers that are pre programed to wash a "generic" car, which can be anything front a Nissan titan to a Lotus Elise, or B) you who knows every line of the car, can spend extra time on the dirtier areas and apply a plethora of car products in special applications?

    Make your choice, hopefully it's obvious now.

    also agree with the above post, I am not washing my car because of the water crisis, an S13 is nothing to kill the mussels over.

    but GAs acid rain burns straight through the dirt! Wait untill it rains, let dry (or hand dry) and cover. TaDa! Instant show car.

    (I am just kidding if anyone is too stupid be able to tell)

    Handwash. Never go through the tunnel (except on a beater). If it is a beater, use the touchless washes at least.

    wtf is your problem? I didn't address you at all. I don't care that you have 5,000+ posts, just going out and flaming for no real reason is grounds for a temp ban, play nice or you may not be in the game for long.

    I answered his question without really answering his question, causing him to use his own thought process, I didn't spoon feed him anyhting, my message in a sense was "stop and think about this for more than 5 seconds and the answer is obvious", at least it was constructive. So don't call me a dumbass, and don't say I'm stupid for encouraging a stupid person. The guy probably never thought twice about this carwash thing, so I highlighted the obvious, a lot more constructive than your 100% negative bashing.

    i get my car washed at 4 seasons and its a touchless wash it does a better job then i could and they do the finishing for you and they recycle their water it supposedly goes right out and back to the treatment plant and thus eliminates the waste water
    and besides if it was truly wasting water the state would shut them down for wasting water
