Exclamation Swiftmud Eases Car Washing Restrictions in Tampa Bay Area!

Looks like Swiftmud eased the Tampa bay car washing restrictions just in time for the Gainesville meet! Woohoo! That's good news.

That will save me a lot of quarters....

That's good news! I heard about the restrictions and I was like... wtf!

Glad to live in Orlando

But how can they really tell how often you wash your car at your house? If you can use the water for 4 hours, can't you do 1 hour, 4 days a week? Strange...

I dunno... I suspect one of your neighbors could turn you in...

I'm just happy to be able to wash my G... It's gotten really dirty and I want to clean it up a bit... It's hard to get your car really clean in a commercial car wash... plus I don't want to use their soap... plus i want to clean my tires really well because I'm changing to a different tire protectant/dressing...

when things were bad in atl, the guys up there said they were most worried about neighbors turning them in. didnt even know things were tight in tampa.
