On my bottle of Meguiers car wash it says to use a flow of water and not a spray. A flow of water will leave less water on your car making drying easier.

Thats what the bottle says so thats what I do. I have a garden nozzle that is almost like not having a nozzle on except it makes the flow wider.

Quick tip for ya' Foxy - you can get a quick-shutoff valve thing for the end of the hose. Plenty of people use them between the hose and the connection at the house, but you can just as easily spin it on the end of the hose - no more walking back to the house to shut the water.

Like this (they have 'em in plastic, too):

I"m really lazy... I have my dad come out and turn the hose on and off when I tell him to. It's like having your own personal slave. I'd make him wash the car too, but I don't want anyone else touching my pro.

Glazedham42: Your dad washes the Pro! I never let ANYONE touch my car to wash it.
I think you misunderstood foxy. My dad doesn't wash the Pro, he just turns the hose on and off when I tell him. I guess you could say I've got him trained. Or as you guys have been saying quite a bit lately, "He's my bitch!"

There's already a V-8 (albeit RWD only) Holden coming to the States as the new GTO.


This is kind of old news but GM confirms it here... http://www.cardesignnews.com/news/20...21pontiac-gto/

Y'know it's a shame that all Pontiacs have to look so much like........Pontiacs.

IMO, Pontiac has the butt-ugliest cars BY FAR in the US. They were even able to fukk up the poor TransAm (before it got killed completely).

The new GTO might be sweet - too bad it'll still look like a Pontiac.

BTW - Jeff, LOVE the Deeetroit P5. I can see Kid Rock pimpin' in that mac-daddy already....cool Photoshop job!

Thanks HH, making the DeeTroit P5 was fun. Ya know I was a car crazy kid in the late 60's and and 70's and Pontiac always had the sweet designs. One of my favorites in high school was a buddy of mine's '70 Trans Am with a Ram Air III and a stick. He could wallop my auto 340 6-Pack AAR Cuda in the straights and the twisties every time. Of course he was on one of the first sets of Radial T/As anyone had seen and I was on Goodyear Polyglas GTs. Good times back then and I would love to have a copy of either of those cars now. Today Pontiac has just gone overboard with styling cues that I don't like at all, inside and out.
