Since we seem to routinely drift off topic when having discussions in there and still enjoyable threads wind up closed off, I figured I would start a car related chat thread that did not have a specific topic. This thread is meant for just general back and forth car, car lifestyle, auto industry related chat that has no specific topic in mind. I've seen threads like this on other forums that wound up being fun.
So, to kick it off...how is everybody's spring car prep coming? I'm so busy I haven't washed mine in a week which is super unusual for me. Anybody have any cleanup/detailing projects going on or on the horizon?

Yeah I’ve used all kinds of waterless washes, optimum no rinse etc. I use a carwash typically and quick detail afterwards, I just haven’t had time...

I haven’t washed my cars in a while and I need to badly. I had both cars in for service this week and last and told them both to not wash the cars. I don’t like any of them washing my cars and definitely don’t want to have my cars end up looking like Och’s BMW.

Moved into a new house, unfortunately the builder did a cheap epoxy finish on the garage floor, which is already lifting off. Not a big deal, will eventually have it sanded off and go with the polyurea based one that we had put in our last house.

Nice both you and Steve are/will be in new houses. How big is the garage? As Steve mentioned in MD/DC metro area it’s not easy to find 3-car garages although some of the new builds are starting to provide them as options. The older builds like my house in the mid 90’s had 2-car garages but they were always small 2-car garages. I am about to start a new job soon and if I build a house in the next couple years I am going for a 4-car garage.

Yeah the garage in the house I'm buying is pretty good, 20x20 which is pretty good sized for a 2 car. It has a concrete painted floor that wont hold up to garage use at all, have to figure out what kind of garage flooring to use. I'm going to deck it out though...my one car where I am now has gaarge carpet. wall mounted vacuum and all but it barely fits the S Class, you can't really walk around it in the garage

Since this is an off topic thread I guess I can use this to ran a little.
We have a 2006 Acura TL in the family. When DST changes come the clock automatically adjusts and you don't have to think about it.
We also have a 2016 Lexus GS 350 in the family. For whatever reason Lexus decided we should change the clock manually in that car with no option to automatically update it.
Great car, but so stupid lol

However, it's the only computer I am aware of anywhere in my family that didn't automatically update.
And yes it's the one with Navigation. Navigation with the 6 speed, best model they made.

. That thing was quite fast, just power going to the wrong wheels and you had to keep the revs up. When I got into my LS430 it was a huggggge change lol.
