Unless the 'Cat's lowered, the door should easily clear a typical trailer fender.

And besides, is that out two doors, or four?

You guys probably don't completely agree with that everything from my '14 Ram 1500 to my girlfriend's '19 911 Turbo S and everything in between have been washed exactly once, each. That was a couple of months ago. And that was only because a local wanna-be car detailer had a special. He spent...

No, but hitting the brakes before the next curve should.

Funny that you mention that. I turned the wipers on quite a few times in my Daihatsu Hi Jet after I first got it. Then I got another RHD car, a Jeep JK, but it has the blinker stalk on the left, like I'm used to with LHD, Oh well, it never hurts to pay attention.

Yeah, that's probably what I'm doing wrong - just hitting the switch as in any other vehicle, instead of gingerly bypassing the auto feature(s).

Okay, fine. But how do you get rid of the auto functions??? I may have to poke around and see if AlfaOBD can do it.

Mine does not. It often takes me a few tries to get the window to stop slightly down, where I want it. Sure wish there was no such thing as auto up or auto down.

I don't think I've ever rode in one or drove one, either. And I certainly never had enough tools or patience to own one. Or any Furd for that matter.

Meanwhile, I'm just trying to figure out why a less than a half full trailer is referred to as full. I was close to understanding it, but then Stormtrooper posted a photo and I lost my train of thought.

Nothing wrong with visiting over there and reaffirm how much nicer it is over here, with friends. Using the word a bit loosely since some drive Chargers, but still.

We paid $110,000 a piece for them in '87, as tax payers. I got the forklift/crane one (pictured) for about 1/10 of that, with 91 miles on it. And yes, they get to be productive here, instead of taking up space on some government property.

For those who don't have a crane, or live in Hunter's neck of the woods where nature provides frequent undercarriage cleansing, there are other ways to keep the important parts of vehicles clean. Namely, using a forklift or pallet forks. Okay, washing wasn't the purpose here, but you get the...

Same here, except that I drive if from the lift to the garage, with fresh oil. Then use a battery maintainer maybe once a month or so.

Well, as far as I know, StaBil only keeps water in check in the fuel. Not when the entire car is under water.

Well, if you guys didn't use that evil magnesium chloride, but salt like civilized people, I wouldn't really have to do these things.

Yeah, I like that little Karcher for small cleanups like this. My Honda powered one hasn't seen much use in the last few years - which happens to coincide with buying the electric one.

Ask, and you shall see how I use my receiver. And some chain and stuff.

Yeah, pretty close. After visiting CO in the wintertime, I often lift the back of the Ram 3500 with the crane, then wash the chassis. If I'm ambitious, the 32-foot trailer gets the same treatment, but lifted from the sides.

I put mine on a rotisserie, then wash it while upside down. Never any water intrusion through the vents that way, but they do function as drains.
