    I wash my truck whenever we need rain, because it's guaranteed to rain the next day.

    I let the rain wash my truck. I'm 53....I've washed enough vehicles in my life....I like my Silver truck 'cause it's always dirty but doesn't look like it. Hand me another brewski.....

    I've had my Taco for a month now and I've washed maybe 3-4 times. Irks me because in the morning the mist dries up on the hood and leaves a whole mess of water spots. Makes my truck look all dirty even if I washed it the night before!

    dang some of the responses are funny. I do mine at least once a week and usually twice. Then I wax it about every other week or so.

    It's a losing proposition, but good exercise. Like Einstein discovered that E=MCsq, I have discovered that a truck always gets dirty after you wash it. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
    I am a freaking genius.
