At first we thought it was the thirsty lawns, then we accused the Central Valley farmers, but we’ve now discovered the reason that California is drying up… this guy.
Just kidding, it’s really all the lawns and pools and not enough snow and stuff.

Last Call: The Reason for California's Drought Edition

Are you trolling me? Lawns and pools? Enjoy your hamburger helper, Porkins, my water supply went into the 6 bazillion acres of alfalfa that made it possible.
(Above is a pro forma response required by executive order from Gov. Brown. All Californians must post this reply to any mention of the drought on the Internet. We now return you to Batshitbox’s regular program of non-sequiturs and oddball facts about S.A.E. thread forms.) -
If I am not going to be driving them right away I like washing my vehicles in the rain, faster because you don’t have rinse till the whole car is done and no towel dry or water spots.
-
Agreed. Also good to do the undercarriage – if it has been wet for a while, stuff might actually come off when pressure cleaned.

Considering the car in the picture is a Russian Lada 2111 it’s very unlikely this has anything to do with California.
-
You mean the California drought ISN’T the fault of the Russians?

Sharp observations like this brought down the kingdom of Sarkasm and Irony.

I get it that the author was being sarcastic to begin with. I’m just saying it doesn’t work!

Dude, you’re thinking too much.

I feel like I am sick, even to the degree that I should consider joining an AA* meeting. The last couple of weeks, I have somewhat enjoyed driving my wife’s auto Camry. On wednesday, I even strangled my manual Honda when I parked in third gear with my foot nowhere near the clutch. What’s happening? Is the last bit of manhood leaving my body? Is the apocalypse near?

Yes, and yes, but it’s a matter or how long the time scale happens to be.
In cases like yours the only recommended solution is to buy a C5 or greater Corvette. Happy sailing.-
It all boils down to divorce vs demanification. Conundrums, conundrums!

Just stop referring to them as automatics and say “my wife’s Porsche DoppelKupplung-equipped vehicle” and no-one will be the wiser…

The obvious answer is…..why wash at all? Its just going to get dirty again….
-
The answer to the “why wash it at all?” question is pretty simple.
It goes precisely like this:
“Honey, I’d like to help you with the housework but the car needs to be washed.” -
Similarly, it’s never necessary to wash your bath towel. After all, you only use it right after a shower/bath, when you’re squeaky-clean. So it stands to reason that the towel never gets dirty!

Great minds think alike :-).

In other news, the part I bought on the German eBay, sent from Bulgaria by a company registered in Gran Canaria to Norway, arrived really quickly and is working fine for now. No need for rain cooling. All in all a 50USD fix, opposed to the offer of a 250USD part from the scrapper…

…and was it made it China, carried by mules along the Silk Road?
