Car Wash?

Karen is way more militant about it than I am. She is easily every time she gets gas, if not once a week.
Every time I think about doing it, I talk myself out of it thinking "It's gonna be a waste, if it snows or gets crappy in the next couple of days."
Ya'll?

Global warming caused a drought in our neighborhood, where only criminals wash cars now.

Depends.
I'll get one this week as it will warmer but it's just to get the build-up of crap off it. Unfortunately 10 minutes later it will have a build-up of crap on it. Stupid winter weather snow/slush/chemical/salt/sand.........

Here they use rock salt on the roads during snow storms so I have to wash the car more frequently during the winter, probably should more frequently than I do. Otherwise, it's probably every other month or so. Laura is OCD about washing the MINI.

I don't have the rock salt issue here, so I rarely get my car washed. Maybe once a year.

Water restrictions prevent us from washing cars, unless you go to one of those car wash places, that now all have to use Recycled Water.
That said I probably wash my car 2-3 times per year if I'm lucky

Under the right circumstances, I'd have it done every day. |

I selected monthly, but probably not that often. My dealer always washes the car when I bring it in for service, including oil changes. So that's at least 5-6 times per year. I'll get it washed a couple of other times, especially during the winter to get the salt off it when I know it's supposed to be dry for a couple of days. I just washed it an Saturday.
