The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXVI

if u have a portable sprinkler and ramps it's a great way to clean the undercarriage. But need to take it out for a spin immediately following to dry off.

No ramps, and I usually just spot clean with a wet towel while it's up on jack stands for maintenance. If I'm using the hose, I'm working out in the driveway and doing a proper undercarriage cleaning. At that point I've got all the fender linings and undertray out to clean and treat properly as well. The MetroVac Sidekick Blaster I picked up last fall works awesome for drying the undercarriage, so I don't have to worry about driving it

Yah when u do da sprinkler wash water gets on da pumpkin and other drive train it's dat are steel. Which rusts quickly so dis is y da quick drive immediately following is recommended. If it's not touching those areas no need for drive.

Plus u don't got road salt shitt to worry about.

Good Morning All.

If you are up and checked-in, you've been repped.

Off today to start shopping for furniture and picking paint colors with wifey for my son's new townhouse. Making a sizeable donation to the furnishing project as his graduation present (graduated in 2015) and recognition that his 4 year college career didn't cost me a cent due to scholastic scholarships and him being an Eagle Scout.

Oh to be 24 years old again and be in the financial position to buy your first home. Hard work and serious saving pays off.
