If I'd parked any closer I couldn't have opened my door.

Didn't stop the old guy in the busted up Cadillac who parked next to me yesterday afternoon.

I keep meaning to take pics of all of the terribly parked Audi's in my parking garage. They really are the new BMW.

Parked like a bimmer. Guess he was trying to avoid the minivan but they do have the nice sliding door for the kids.

Tell me about these foam guns. Do they make cleaning easier/faster?

I have been slowly addressing little parts of my truck (painted plastic that gets super grimy, unpainted plastic that fades, clear bra that doesn't clean up with regular car wash, etc.) while trying to find time for a full wash-clay-polish-wax cycle, but when I add up the hours it would take, I always push until the next weekend.

blee, they do not speed up the wash process. It is basically a step to add extra lubricity to avoid swirls & marring. It also puts soap in areas that are not typically reached with a wash mitt.
