Not too shabby! So as not to make a mess of my street, I brought my buckets and stuff to the local self-serve, which is allowed as long as there’s no one waiting. Still have some salt streaks, but overall pretty good. $2 each for before and after rinse.

I gave her undercarriage as good a blast with the water sprayer as I could manage.

There’s a self car wash by you? The only one i know of worth going to is either in Wayne or all the way down in Kenilworth...

It’s called E-Z Car Wash in Passaic or possibly Clifton, off Main Avenue. They’ve got high pressure water, that’s all I really need

Yes, another plate-eraser.

I get asked quite frequently why I obscure plate numbers. It’s annoying to have to explain over and over again, as it is not well established as a cultural norm in the US.

Where at? I found one near me in Lakewood finally but it is a rather sketchy neighborhood. At least it only costs $5 for 12 minutes and I bring my own bucket with soap and mit for the scrubbing part. Just washed my Miata today but I will be going on a nice 6 hour drive to Vermont this weekend to make it even dirtier lol.

What tires are you running? And does the s2k have a mechanical limited slip?

In Toms River, I’m pretty sure there is still one near the Office Lounge by 37&9. On Rt 73 in Berlin there are bays as well.

I too would avoid Lakewood at all costs.

When I blur out my plate I prefer to color pick my plate color and block out most of the plate except for the state and my osprey.

Well I live in Lakewood (a much nicer section that is basically toms river) so that is certainly closest! I will try and look for the one near 37 and 9, that would be perfect.

Sweet, running the same setup basically! Although I am on 195s with 15x6 steelies. That limited slip really helps with the snownuts.

Supposedly you can run 15" Accord steelies on the S2000, though with minuscule clearance on the calipers... most ppl on teh forumz recommend getting a set of AP1 OEM wheels, which is what I did. #CrowdThink
