As a builder, I can probably shed some insight into this.
The garage has drywall on the ceiling and usually the wall going into the home. If you get the drywall wet too many times it will absorb the water and eventually cause mold.
It is very difficult avoiding getting water on the ceiling. I know, I have been known to wash a few of my cars in the garage. The electrical outlets are usually not a problem since they are ground fault outlets and wont electrocute you, this assuming that you have modern electrical panel and GFI outlets.
Haha, i know. I was thinking about the same thing. Secret way to wash it without your neighbors know?
Not a bad idea to wash your car in the garage and hide it from your neighbors. Here in Southern California, your neighbors will "drought shame" you by calling the city and complaining you are wasting water.
It was just barely above freezing temps outdoors. I opened the garage door to take the pic.
Ah, I understand now. When I used to live in the frozen northlands, I always went to the quarter wash stalls to get rid of the salt bath underneath and along the sides. Kept a jar of quarters in the car at all times.

I tried the coin-ops nearby but the water freezes up fairly quickly after the wash so I just carefully wash indoors. I employ low water pressure with minimal water usage to avoid hitting everything else in my garage. I also use waterless car wash products during the really frigid days but that's never as thorough as a water-based wash.

Nice photos Carrado! Wife and I sat in a nice IS350 F Sport last week. Really feels like a sports car inside. Do you ever feel interior is a bit "tight"? It does feels like it would track the road really well.
BTW...do the large rims and thin tire rubber shake your fillings? I love the looks of the larger(est) rims but really question how the rims would hold up in Minnesota potholes...and how my 68 year old spine would absorb the bumps? Thanks...TomMartin
BTW...soon I will be considering ALL of the Lexus model range

The IS' cozy sports-car-like cockpit fits me well - no issues. With lowered springs and larger wheels and lower rubber, the rise is firmer and not suited for pothole duty. My commute is fairly smooth but the crisp handling serves me well to avoid any potholes coming.
I love the ES' ride comfort and serene ride. Would be my pick if these were my priorities at this time. Have fun car shopping!
