Spot on.

Here come the dudes duding around with their dude opinions when they should just shut up, sit down, and listen.

Thank you for bringing up grid girls. T&A as a form of promotion belongs in the era of Mad Men.

The elephant in the room: rev hangs (EPA) between gears (thanks to the DBW meddling). This car is anything but a love letter to the manual; more like a suicide note.

I’m “salty” and “self-righteous” because it’s a FWD Civic with a plastic vent problem.

Seriously. My car regularly closes gaps behind salt trucks at a ~40 mph speed differential as sand and salt goes pinging off the front of my vehicle. Now when it comes to washing I’m supposed to treat it like it’s made out of whale placenta? Fuck that.

This is the dumbest jalop fear mongering there is. It’s a fucking car that hurdles down the road at 20-100+ miles per hour but you’re going to worry about a soapy car washes water source?

Trying to treat your daily like a show car is futile in 4 season climates. Hell, ice crystals and 60mph salt water spray does more damage than any car wash. So, just using your car as a car in winter is damaging.

Man, car washing brings out the anal retentive tendencies in Jalops.

If it takes 10 years to damage the paint on a DD, most people aren’t even going to care.

Most daily drivers are appliances. You can bet your ass I will still go through a car wash no matter what. As far as washing salt off with a wand goes I’m going to call shenanigans. Unless you lift your car up there is no way you are getting the same level of clean as several jets in a line blasting the underside.…

I often use the full contact car wash during winter and never had any issues. It may not be the best for the paint but it is still better than leaving the winter dirt on it.

Hand washing and claybarring my XC90 takes about 3 hours to do it right. I have kids and a life so if I can do it spring and fall I am lucky. There is no way I could do that several times a month, thats just silly.

White Knight is such a telling insult. It means they can’t fathom defending women without secretly doing it to get points towards sex.

Man, I feel like this has been the month of That Guy.

And people eat it up as evidenced by whoever is clapping. “Fuck yea I’m seeing a wreck!”

Oh, and here’s another guess:

I’m not familiar with this model, but I don’t see anything missing. That engine looks pretty clean for its age, actually.
