Utah Evos
My day
so last night didy, myself and my cousin decide to stop working on the car. My cuz says just drive my pathfinder to work n buckle evo up after work. So I park his ride half of grass half on sidewalk and well in the morning it's gone wtf mother ****ers towed it! Then I get stung by a wasp before leaving the house, so my grandparents went and picked up my cuz ride & dropped it off to me $150 later, **** just had lunch the ***** forgot about my food for like 20min...o sorry here's a coupon for $5 off next time...next time ***** **** your $5 and next time...next time I'm eating somewhere else **** off
so far I'm still managing to smile and laugh about it...just one of those days I guess

I'd come visit, but for me I'm not all that lazy and 11 bucks plus tips is a lot of money I can save by doing it by hand, and I do a better job, plus I'm brushless. And brushes (even soft touch) plus a black car with crappy "save the environment" paint is not a great mix.
Plus, I hate other people driving my car, even if it is just to pull it in and out of a car wash.
Speaking of that, I spotted a RR Evo IX on I215 Northbound today out around the California Avenue exit. Didn't have UtahEvos stickers on though.

Perhaps it was Criddlen?

I had one of those days today, as well.

Aww come on Jake, it's only $25 a month. You come everyday, you won't know the difference between the job you do and the job someone else does, trust me! lol We wash $250,000 Maserati's including DWills and thousands of cars 5 times the value of any Subie or Evo and their paint ain't complaining. lol I realise the lower qualtiy paint jobs on these Subies and Evos aren't gonna hold up as well to the auto tunnell washes, but i wash my Evo like a madman and it's got the equivalent of a $200 MAACO special and I'm pretty sure I have one of the cleanest Evos around.

And that 25 doesn't include my interior and mats, and I definitely notice the difference between the job I do (when I do a good one) and the job someone else does. 9 times out of 10 there's something on the car someone missed drying, or didn't wash, or didn't wash properly. Even Bischoff's (Now Firehouse I think) 20 dollar wash that I got done wasn't half as good as my own, thankfully I got it for free.If your Evo's paint is a $200 MAACO special then the X and GR STi paint is equal to a $5 rattle can special.
Maybe after 6 months of the unlimited if you want to include a free buff and wax with a random orbit polisher... That way if swirls do get in the crayon grade paint, I can get them buffed out. I still would have to go home, vacuum the interior and wash the mats. Clean the dash and center console, and wash the windows both inside and out again. And before I do that, I usually have to dry off some more water. Should get some air compressors to blow out the water from all the cracks, Firehouse had that, it was nice, definitely no dripage after their wash, but my windows were still all ****ed up.
If I had a bit more money, it may be worth it to me, but for now, car washes are used purely when I'm super lazy, and then it's only when the car is super dirty and I try to spend less than 6 dollars total. That extra 5 can go to a McDonalds meal you know!
Coulda been, I would've thought Nate had a UtahEvos sticker though.
Plus tips per wash.

Say Nate, I was just on Camshaftshop's website (Kelford) and was reading a breakin tech article on their cams, they said they recommend replacing the lifters at the same time for proper seat in on the lobes or something like that and non synthetic oil during break in at varying idle rpms. Did you go to any of that trouble?
I tried going slow to see if you had stickers, but didn't want to go too slow, wouldn't want to give the wrong idea if you were one of the Evo guys that aren't on here.
It still doesn't include interiors though right?
Haha - I would totally do that for you if you signed up. A good wax on the Sti compliments of us for an unlimited customer every 6 months is no prob. We do have air to blow out the car too, you just have to mention to the service advisor. lol
