i work in Parramatta + park out in the open, came out to find my 'white' car brown, it was bloody clean, i even cleaned the windows this morning :)  

the air's filthy!

Yeah, I work in Parra too and came back to see my car covered in those brown spots. Kinda annoying considering the drought and water restrictions are likely to increase the time spans between washes. (NI5MO, where do you work? I'm in Colonial Tower on the corner of George & Charles St's)

What's the go with using services like Car Lovers, etc? Are the restrictions applicable to them too, considering they filter and re-use some (if not all) of their water? As long as my car looks reasonably clean, then I'm happy.

GoldZilla i have No idea were that is haha, i just started there and don't know the street names yet!, prolly just round the corner, im in Cowper street (same street as the AMF Bolwing and the big Monks palace thing!) oh and if you know the street, i don't drive a skyline anymore so don't be on the lookout lol

with car lovers / car cafe's, i got mine washed the next day (friday) and you know what happened, it rained again that night! what a waste of 20bucks, it looked so clean too!

i dunno what the deal is but they still seem to be open and very very busy as you'd expect!

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
