I have had a few encounters with the local Honda crowd. One almost hit me. The driver was tailgating me and I was about to turn. I guess it pissed him off that I was going so slow and must have not noticed the blinker. Well the idiot tries to cut me off before I make my turn. I just shook my head. Then there have been three CTS-V's since I have put on exhaust that have wanted to run. One was a brand new one trying to get me to go in rush hour traffic on the HWY. He finally gave up.

Haven't had any issues out of Subbie's or Evo's or anything else.
can one of those things scratch your car?
i know they use shammies instead of cloth but i didnt think it would scratch the car, i personally have never had my car scratched by one of those things before

i have had that happen to me when i driving home one day after hanging out with some friends, this honda guy was right on me to the point of no roll room, literally bumper to bumper, i tried driving extra slow and moving out of his way but he stuck on me so when we reached an open stretch of road i gunned it to 80 and lost him

not sure if he wanted to hear the car zoom off or something but it was really annoying

If it's like anything we have around here whether it be the automated car washes at a gas station or going to a place dedicated to just car washes but still use automated machines...they just attempt to detail the car afterwards. Then my answer would be yes it is scratching your car. If it is automated those shammies are scratching your car each time they slap it to knock the dirt off as its sprayed with soap/wax/etc. Something to think about is if a guy with a 4x4 went through it before you that had just went mudding. Well guess what is all over those shammies that are slapping your car? Tiny rocks and other debris he collected in the mud from the trails. I would stay far away from any of those places like the plague and only hand wash my car at my house. If you have the time and resources its the best way to go. No one is going to care more for your car than you are.
