Obsessive or stupid?!?!



The last house I rented was friggin' ghetto, so I've actually done this before... It was either do it like this or drive to a coin-op wash bay. I saw this elsewhere online and figured I'd pass the chuckle along.

I do this all the time, minus the hose.
When its raining I just run out with soap and larger her up and let the rain do the rest.
Waters not cheap and its soft water, so it works better than the hose.

This actually isn't a bad idea. You wouldn't have to dry your car off when you're done, and you wouldn't get water spots.
... A bit obsessive, but not a bad idea at all.

^^because theirs no contaimanents in rain water. when u wash ur car with water from the hose, it isnt pure so it leaves behind whats in the water when it dries up.
