    Interesting note, tea bottles (gallon ones) will blow out at about 60 psi! 

    That was loud as hell lol

    And the main reason why they no longer allow glass ones!

      I broke a car wash with the BMW today. First time going, also the last, because they banned me.

        Win!

        I just avoid car washes now.  When I first got the car at stock ride height, there were a few that wouldn't let me in.

          I destroyed the motor that pulls the car down the line. It legit came to a grinding halt. Had to drive it out, over the little arm pulls/ guide rail. Welded diff for the save!

            Was it the Octopus on Odana? My parents used to go there all the time, hope they still have the parrots!

              How in the world did you manage that. I don't get how a car wash is breakable

                    Ha so you mean to tell me that your car was to low for the car wash and destroyed the whole right side or the machine?

                    You should go back to the car wash and if they don't let you get a car was tel they are bring unreasonable and a little raciest.

                          No, I broke the entire thing, I'm assuming I broke gear teeth on the motor, or the motor itself burned out.

                                This could change.

                                What if you break another one? Pretty soon there will be no more we will all be lost and have dirty cars. Then garden hose an sponge sales will go up it will be madness.

                                  This is essentially what I learned in my  Car Wash Economics class. 

                                  I don't even want to think about what would happen if the Sham-Wow company had a monopoly in the microfiber towel marketplace :(
