West Huntclub - so you're from Ottawa?

NEway, I saw a dumped IP coupe this morning on Deerfoot North near McKenzie around 6:20. Young Azn driver, I think.

Cool moment coming home yesterday; there was me in my 03 green sedan, two lanes over an 05/06 silver sedan, behind us in the middle an FX and front center an EX! Just needed a coupe and we could have made an Infiniti commercial.

Yeah, for some reason I completely forgot to mention that part. I need to drink less.

Lol I would love to hear what you say if you saw my 08 xs sedan. I am sure I am dirtier than most on this forum. This dust and constant drizzling just rapes me over and over. To make matters worse it is illegal to wash my car in my driveway because of some stupid local laws. I wish automatic washers didn't use their acid soap and just spray me with water a couple of times. It would be enough to clean most of the crap off.

Not sure if we have that bylaw or not, but if we do, they can kiss my doggy door.

We do have this bylaw in Calgary. They've been running a series of ads on the radio to inform people about it. And it applies to anything people might consider washing down the storm drains (soap, oil, paint, paint thinner, fertilizers).

For washing of cars, it because of the phosphates and other chemicals in the soaps. It gets release directly into the river systems which causes algal blooms.

Kevin turned some of us on to this.

One maybe two buckets of it will do an amazing job. NO RINSING.
We have restrictions in KW as well in July and Aug.
