Anyone coming out tonight? Late to post I know, I was busy today! Anyway I don't even need a wash, but I'm just keen to get out, so I'll swing by the Valleymede Shell. Maybe we can hit up some eats?

Bahhh sorry I missed out, something came up.

Wow sorry to hear that Rotary-RX8. Even an old car is bad enough getting the door panel off, I can't imagine tackling this one. If you get it, post some pics! :D

Dude, summer car away is no reason to miss out the winter meets, just bring the winter car to the car wash meets and hang! (Unless of course, you don't have a winter car ... In which case, I just feel bad for you. XD )

Anyway, since there's no posts for tonight, I'm gonna hit that indoor wash instead. If anyone else catches this, feel free to join. Kennedy, south of hwy7, 10pm sharp.

The bad: not only no one at the Kennedy station, but I swung by the Valleymede station at like ten-to, and nobody there either!

The good: that Kennedy station is sweet! Huge indoor bay with like 12 stalls, toasty-warm inside, and a good washer setup. The price is 85c per minute (75 if you buy gas), so the price has risen quite a bit from my initial interest, but I ended up doing a complete wash and wax, and it came out to 7$ (and I was at a pretty relaxed pace!) Significantly, the guy said if they're empty, you can dry for free. And the place was literally empty the whole time I was there, so I got some swank treatment. Best of all, it's open 24hours.

I bet a big group of us in there would make a sweet Markham meet! Man, wish I'd take some pics ... Anyway, you guys have got to check this out.

Thnaks maitre for your input..... I went to that Kennedy Shell station (Beside Markham Honda) the other day, but saw no one washing there, I didn't bother to go in and ask for more info or details..... Would definitely go there to wash sometime.....

Anyone know where there is a cheaper alternative to getting codes scanned from my car than bringing to dealership?

I think (don't hold me to this) but PartSource scans codes for free.

Hey guys!

Just got my 8 a week ago and I gotta say I love it...A LOT!! I live in the North York area (Jane & Steeles to be exact) so I'll be looking forward to upcoming meets and seeing some members here on the street! I drive an 06 sunlight silver GT thats a 6MT. My main chill spots are Weston and Highway 7 and especially and I cannot stress the "especially" enough the Commerce Gate/Go4T/Destinys/FMP areas in Richmond Hill/Markham...so ye enough rambling lol, just wanted to say hi to everyone in here.

Looking forward to learning a lot on this forum,

Abdi-San

Not exactly the weather for a wash today, is it? (If anything, my car is already clean, just from parking outside ...)

Any interest in a Tim's meet though? I might be out at 16th anyway, but not sure yet. But if anyone's game, I'll go too.
