lol... I don't have time to do the shit I want to, you think washing a car is gonna cut further into that? The guys at the car wash do a good job and I get it detailed once a year, my free time has significant value to me and I don't mind buying more wherever I can.

thanks for the suggestion tho

but... it's a sexual experience between you and your car... how do you not have time for that?!

sidenote:
yes I have a boner while washing my car.

tc535i · 04-28-2014, 06:10 PM

hell, at my age a boner is even more rare than free time, there's no way I'm wasting THAT on the car!!

5% cash back on gas year round, though with their gift cards that comes out to 4%~ cash back. Works at any gas station and whatever you buy inside too

Yep. I've used both gas and Diesel and it's worked fine for me.

Had a friend complain about $4/gal. I had to laugh. I told her to visit SoCal then complain.
