Can't wash the car!

Hey guys

Just wondering how long it's been since you Calgarians have washed your car ... you know with the water restrictions and all?

Me? It's been about 3 weeks! For the first couple of weeks it was because it rained like a biatch and the car would get all rain-dusted anyways. Now it's cuz the Mayor imposed the water restriction! I know I can go down to the local car wash but that would be poor poor civil duty.

What about you guys?

I think your RX8 duty over-rides your civic duty....how are people going to to see the mica paint if its dirty?

I washed mine when I got back from Fairmont on Sunday night. I didn't know there was a water restriction on.......

I washed the front of my car with a 1/4 bucket of water and a wash mitt today! Just wash and dry! A few people were looking at me wierd, but after they saw how much water I used, they looked away.

After the humiliation heading up Sarcee next to you I learned my lesson. Although b/w the torrential rain, incessant dust and water restrictions, keeping the 8 clean is a little challenging.
