dang that sucks.................they were taking advantage of the people cuz I don't think they raise the water bill rate.........
They didn't!
All I know is that they did the change just recently.. because they had masking tape covering the old prices...I feel like a sucker.. But I met some pretty interesting people.. 2 people with xB's... mine is still bone stock.. compared to theirs.. but aye.. we all got to start somewhere right?? I can't wait till tuesday.. let there be water!!!

My car is super dirty because of the crazy butt winds we've been having.. I was planning to wash it today but I feel bad if I do.. Is anyone else holding off washing their cars?? Or should I just stop showering so I can wash my baby??


water conservation! I say go to a friend's house, in another county, and wash your car at their house. you can always pay them back with food.... everyone loves food, esp when it's free! hahaha.....

i went almost 3 weeks without washing my car. darn the riverside dirt, how it sticks, and the crazy winds aren't helping either. i finally get my car washed, and 2 days later it rains, then the crazy winds come.... aye yah.

clean car = happy driver

Try a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush attachment, get a really slick polish like RejeX and the dirt will blow off, get a pressurized spray pump bottle and you can wash your entire xB with less than a gallon of water.

We went a week or two with a construction project in Upland that caused water rationing in Rancho Cucamonga and Upland. This took place earlier this year.

+1. I have the OEM Car Cover for my tC, and I rarely have to wash my car. Of course, I keep Turtle Wax ICE cleaning products, a California Duster, and microfiber towels in my car at all times.. but you know.

It rained recently after I washed, clay bared, and waxed my car, and I when I too the cover off, my car was spotless.
