With my cat back system, I always have an excuse. It just sounds bad ***.

I took it to the Car Wash yesterday (Snowed today, fugging figures), they pull it off the conveyor, fire it up and the whole waiting room stands up, and all I hear is the high rev of the engine to get it moving, to which i storm outside and yell at the guy "Where daphuq did you learn to drive stick?"

Then came back in and screamed at management about it. Dude hit at least 4k on the rev to get it moving... turns out dickwad only drove stick 3 times his whole life.

needless to say they lost my business over it, and it is the best Car Wash in Philly.

Downside of a 6 speed, morons at car Washes who can't drive manual.

No one drives my car but me or a lucky friend that knows what they are doing. Certainly not some teenager at a car wash.

These weren't teens, these were adults, late 20's or older. Family run business, they won't hire teens. Which is why I liked them, but some of the staff can't drive stick for sheeeeit.

I'm way too particular to let someone else wash my car, plus doing it myself is kind of like therapeutic alone time for me.

Power-Slide leaving the dealership that Tuesday Night and w/in 700 miles on the clock I was ripping off 12.9 - 13.0 times at 110 mph bone stock. It just too much fun to not have fun in.
