    Any of you guys use snow foam for washing vehicles? I've seen a video warning not to use soap with heavy dyes because it can stain areas of your paint if not rinsed well. I was pondering getting one for the motorcycles and vehicles but I know nothing about them.

    I wash mine with rain water, meaning it gets washed when it rains.

    Talk to @Sandytaco14 the trasharoo thief about fancy washing.

    I can relate to the rain water washing. My Tacoma hasn't been washed in ages. Actually has dark residue building up around the gas cap door :anonymous:

    I thought I remembered him posting washing pictures

    The pollen in the air right now is the only reason I didn't this past weekend.

    I bought quicksand so I can just hose pipe off after a wheeling trip. Honesty I went through a drive through once after chocco with Jeff and Chris a few months back.

    Hasn’t been touched since. So neglected

    I bought quicksand because it was my favorite color, not to neglect. I cannot neglect a vehicles paint. It isn’t in my soul to be able to.

    So I haven't touched Visio/AutoCAD in ages and I am using it to build my 4runner audio project. I am quickly being reminded of how damn precise you have to be with your lines before the program says "Phuck you, this line is going over here!"

    well I wish I knew AutoCAD. we are having a bad bottleneck in our CAD department lately.

    for example this has been happening a lot:

    boss comes in: "hey how's this project coming along?"
    me: "it's in CAD waiting for the drawings to come to me."
    boss: "oh yeah I just put some of my stuff to the front of the line with CAD"
    me: "then quit asking about my progress"

    I took very little CAD in college since it wasn't really used too much in the networking side of things. I use to use it much more at my job before I changed roles so I haven't used it in prolly close to 2-3 years. I am basically self taught with it but its really not that hard once you navigate around. My problem right now is I don't have the amplifier/speaker/crossover/headunit templates to use for mine so I am having to build them as I go so my connection points are not lining up which makes CAD say:

    I had 1 semester of CAD. Not the same software of course. I know I can learn it, but the company doesn't want me to and doesn't want me to do it during work hours. If I learned it I'd be doing more and more CAD here and less and less engineering.
