What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?
Do they not have like a heated car wash or something like that where the water is scalding hot and the wash bay is kept above freezing? I could see this being essential for car washes during winter because if the water's freezing, they're losing business.Speed_Racer wrote:I'm jealous of everyone able to wash the salt off their cars. It's been way too cold here for several weeks straight! Either I would likely freeze before I could finish haha, or the water itself would freeze to the car before I was finished washing/drying.
So I'm waiting for a quick warm spell to hit the car wash.
Hahaha no, though that would've made my dayWoodie wrote:Wow! That's a nice setup. Now, just tell us it was a pretty girl doing the washing and we'll be totally green with envy.IshaanIan wrote:I sipped some coffee on the roof of our house and watched my car get washed and wiped all around till it was squeeky clean.

I haven't gone looking. There aren't too many near me, and in warmer weather I have a local self-serve that I frequent that isn't heated. I think the majority are not touchless car washes, and those are a huge no-no with my vehicles.SamirD wrote:Do they not have like a heated car wash or something like that where the water is scalding hot and the wash bay is kept above freezing?

I stay away from anything that's not self-serve. I've seen what they do to $300 detailing jobs--render them back to fully scratched again.Speed_Racer wrote:I haven't gone looking.

If you run into something that's self-serve and heated, I'd love to hear about it so I can look out for the same here.

Ahh yes, have heard of Epping, but not been there - is in a different state to me.KuroNekko wrote:-1 C is not that cold. Many of the members here live in much colder regions that can see -34 C or even colder. That's why the AWD Kizashi is popular among the folks living in the Midwest and Northeast USA and Canada.Shaneous wrote: -1?.. that's not human!
yeah, poor Santa suffers all sorts of Australianisms in marketing down here and when he DOES have a sled rather than a surfboard, its usually pulled by kangaroos instead of Reindeer.. that sort of thing. What area of Australia did you live in?!
I lived in Epping, a suburb of Sydney back around 1993~1994.
I liked Australia quite a bit as the people are friendly and less neurotic than Americans.
-34? I can't even imagine that... it was 44 degrees c here yesterday and 40 today

Heh, yeah Australians are usually a pretty laid back bunch! Glad it was a good experience for you.

I live in Campbelltown on the South Western fringe of Sydney. My father grew up in Denistone near Epping. If you can afford a house there these days your probably driving a Merc or BMW rather then a Suzuki.
39 degrees celcius here at present. Was riding my pushbike this morning. I felt like and probably looked like a roasted peanut LOL.
