Yeah it depends on a lot of things, one that doesn't help are the small windows

Wednesday I was studying after class. Then I had my exam Thursday and class all day until 3:15. Then I drove 4 hours to visit my aunt in Pensacola. Currently tanning by the pool. Having dinner by the country club tonight.

I had a guy in a normal veloster tailgate me, and then he pulled up next to me and sprayed some nitrous through his purge line or whatever. Just laughed at him and hit my exit, no point even with his nitrous.

You might get more attention because of the muffler delete cause I rarely get anyone bugging me. If they do it's usually at some incredibly stupid time or place such as on the highway with a wall of cars four or five car lengths ahead of us lol

Yep. Surely you have time... All of us are either full time college students or have full time jobs and we have time.

Find a touch less wash that uses a bunch of pressure washers. They'll avoid swirls but you will need to wash the car by hand to get what doesn't come off and wax the car afterwards since the cleaners are very strong and have a tendency to strip wax/sealant.

Still wouldn't use one of those. Most of them are just dirty recycled water or have little to no filtration

Didn't even think of that but i don't use them too often. Just once or twice during the winter to get the underside of the car rinsed when I can wash it

Trying to buy some used Pfadt trailing arms and toe links from a member on here. I was looking at the AFE Power ones. Pretty excited.
