I'm well aware of how evil foaming brushes are and normally I do the 2 bucket hand wash, but currently I can barely walk (went a little too hard for legs day at the gym so it feels like I'm constantly being stabbed in the thighs/ass). Walking down the hill to get the hose from behind my house, then dragging it up the hill, carrying the buckets, etc would've been excruciatingly painful, so I took a shortcut, but tried not to take too much of a shortcut. My car definitely didn't get as clean as it normally would since I couldn't crouch down to clean the exhaust tips, rear diffuser, or fully clean the wheels, but it's good enough until I can do a proper wash/wax next week. |

Your wheels and exhaust must be really dirty. I only wax my car once a year too. Very late spring/summer/very early fall are basically the only times waxing the car is possible since the rest of the year is too cold, plus I tend to put the wax on kinda thick so once a year is generally enough.

Paid it off!! I don't even have the plates yet. Washed it, then went to Walmart and got a wireless phone holder/charger for nav and ran the cable from the factory usb, through the dash to the charger. Had to drill one hole, but looks OEM and I doubt anyone would ever see it. I don't like cables being in the way so this was an easy win. Next few mods should be ceramic tint and hard wiring the radar detector through the A pillar.

Today, we took a drive out through the countryside. When I found some twisties, mrs humfrz kept her eyes tightly shut. Through the straight sections of our drive, she dozed off.
Although I wasn't being watched, we didn't crash - humfrz |
