Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

You are right, nissans that arent made by Nissan tend to be a bit too small for driving.

Chump car racing is the cheapest form of road racing. Some friends of mine and I are heavily into it this year. We just finished a double 8-hour endurance race at Calabogie a couple weeks ago. We race a 96 Hyundai Elantra. It ain't the fastest thing out there, but we have a heck of a lot of fun, regardless. :D

i'm the same way, but i can't keep up. the accord gets stored outside, and I simply don't have time to wash it enough to keep it clean. I'm lucky to have time to wash it every other week.

I hear ya, dark colors are especially hard to deal with.

 

Time was tight for me too when I was in school, now it's not as big of an issue. 

 

I will still contend that some kind of a shop vac for vacuuming out your car is one of the best purchases you can make. Keep the interior clean by vacuuming once a week and you'd be surprised how much better it makes you feel. At least for me haha.

Somehow both of my cars still get nasty even when they sit in the garage. All dusty and pollen-y.

I keep the Mustang under a car cover in the garage, the Focus however does get a bit dusty even in the garage. :(

I'm much more into cleaning the inside of my car,  the exterior not so much. 

But it'll be winter soon.  A few months where I can take a brake from washing it.
