So being the lazy ass that I am I've been researching the quickest/easiest way to wash my car without spending hours rubbing it with a diaper ala Ferris Buhller. It looks like Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine is the easiest but also good quality stuff, but I haven't found anywhere local that carries it. Do any of you know of a place?

This is the one we need in the states...the Toyota GT86 RC...Rally Car. Black bumpers, no dash plate or stereo and steel wheels...it's like $20,185 in Japan NEW! That leaves you 5g's up in upgrade money from the start.
I added some other pics from Toyota Japan website...I can translate alot, but most of my skills have been lost since moving here. Here's a link too if you wish to browse:

The stripped out JDM RC model is basically a bare platform for tuners. Doesn't cone with a/c either, iirc. I can't see it being very popular in these parts.

It's bad to race with your a/c on. Adds weight.

EDIT: turning your a/c on does not add weight. lol

I must say, as long as your car isnt COMPLETELY filthy, I HIGHLY recommend Meguiars wash and wax anytime spray. That stuff is nothing short of EPIC. I used some this morning after they "rain" we got and wow, it looks fantastic. No need for water (just make sure you spray on the rag and the panel). Thanks @Yruyur.

It is basically the FR-S but we are lucky to have A/C and painted bumpers.

I think you are the guy I met at big 2, yes? See you around soon.

Yup, it really is amazing.

On another note, I am curious what are more averages of how many miles you can go with your light on. I am on the brink of my light coming on and I am preparing for the tune on Friday. Yruyur mentioned I can get about 30 miles out of it once the light comes on. Curious if anyone else has come across the same. I have to make it from Sky Harbor to Mesa, then to Goodspeed in the morning in N. Scottsdale. Should I put some more in?

Count on at least 2.5 gallons when the light comes on. More often than not it comes on at 3 gallons remaining.

As for mileage, that all depends on how you drive.

Remember that the fuel cools the pump...less fuel, less cooling, more heat and we have plenty of that here.
