I watch that movie alone, start to finish, once a year on my late father’s birthday.

It was his favorite film.

Do you wash you car?
Yes, I wash me car.

About twice a month on average all year long.

No one else in my neighborhood does their own car washing.

But the real question, do you have LA Tech decals/plate frame?


I do not. No stickers or accessories on a vehicle. It’s a means to get me from point a to b. Just like my office at work. It’s not my man cave or what defines me.

My car is 10ish years old. In that time I can probably count the amount of times I've washed it on one hand. I just don't care. I clean the inside out a handful of times a year.

If you keep your car long term the drive through washes are pretty bad for the finish of the car.

To clean it so well, so quick, they use some pretty harsh chemicals on the front end of the tunnel. So much so they dissolve the concrete in the tunnel over time.

If it's a lease, company car, or you get a new car every few years, drive through for sure.

If you keep your car past 100k miles, hand wash it, even if it means it will be less frequently.

With that said, you can screw up a cars finish washing it by had wrong also.

Yep, I’ve ran my Tundra through one of those jobs and paint peeling off where there were already scratches. Now rust. 260,000 miles tho and trucking.

I still hand wash the cars and care for my yard and other necessities. It's not that I couldn't pay someone else to do mundane tasks like that, but there's something therapeutic about taking care of your things.

Are you trying to confirm that you are a fareplay alter? It makes sense. A young version and an older version of unlikable, each capable of starting the worst threads ever.

Using fishing equipment from Academy Sports then returning it is what defines you.

Yes. Mow grass on saturdays and wash cars on sundays. My dad is 85 and still lives by this.

He’s probably just trying to figure out what time it is since he’s never owned a watch in his life
