Nice! I got a gift card for Arbor so I'll be checking out their rates next time I'm there.

Is that an automatic Mr. Carwash, as in the national chain? I am concerned the side ground effects would catch the edge. To date I have been hand washing, waxing, however starting to have some health issues where that may not be possible much longer...so if I can safely go through an automatic car wash (staff notwithstanding), it may be necessary in my future.

I did, however, wash and wax it in my driveway just this morning!

I know they have a few options up here in Toronto where it's a true 'touchless' wash... you drive in and then you stop and then park. It brings the machine around and then you drive out. line ups for those suck but if your health is not up to par then you should try locate one of those.

Hope it's not too serious and you can continue to hand wash n wax... it's like my zen

This is what I use sometimes. Not as good as a hand wash but certainly much better than nothing. I don't have scratches/swirls from it, the worst thing that happens to me is water spots.

CSC gave out (most likely)

Had to take off my amuse side skirt to raise the car and remove then remove the front bumper
just so the tow truck can load it onto its bed
got stuck in traffic while transporting the car to the dealership
a lady in a BMW almost hit us but missed
60 seconds later the same BMW hit a different car in front of us lol
left the z at the dealership overnight
hoping the CSC issue will be fixed under warranty

Got to appreciate the technology. In old days, when people don't have Super Horn or Hella Super Horn...

Is this what you were after originally before installing your hellas, mr onzedge?

Here is why:

I like being heard...

I like sounding like a Volvo...

I could not fit the compressor needed for the train horn I actually wanted to install...

It's my car and I do what I please and what pleases me...

They were a Christmas gift from my sons...

I am onzedge™...
