I never go through those car washes anyway... I can see the convenience if you live somewhere without a driveway and a spigot, but I never trust the harsh brushes or high-pressure washes. Only downsides to this car, from my point of view, is the higher maintenance, having to use 93 Octane fuel, and keeping a very close eye on the oil. I can live with it, though. Maybe even pee in the gas tank when I need to run some ethanol through it.
Hmmm... something else I just realized. My neighbor's wife has essentially the same car - but not the deluxe version...
I'd prefer some rubber ware parties with her daughter... Or hell, both of 'em, a'la Gabriel Bryne in that movie flop he did with Arnie...
