I got a bit tired of all the pictures showing off their clean and shiny RX-8. So here's something new. My black (or is this already enough dirt to call it Titanium? :D ?) RX-8, after a 4.8 mile dirt road to Wilbur Springs.

Boy did I suffer driving that road. It had all these little waves on the surface which forced me to stay at 5 mph and it still was shaking and rattling like hell.

And next day I had to drive my car back! 1 year ago I drove an otherwise fine car over such a dirt road in the Mojave desert and 20 minutes afterwards, my catalytic converter broke. I still believe there was a causal connection between dust and the broken cat.. or is this nonsense?

Anyway, have you gone dirty w/ your 8 yet?

Thats the dirtiest 8 i've ever seen.

Great idea !
No dirt throwing cheaters though. Mine is pretty dirty, but it is waterspots and ****. Not actual dirt.
I'll post after a few more days of nastiness

I've had no time to clean it !!!

Hehe and here I was freaking out about the bird droppings on my windshield ...

no way
I cant even stand when the water runs down the car after its cleaned

cgrx

I can't stand that either, but when it is already dirty I could care less. I'm cleaning it Wednesday morning. I'll take pics for the contest before hand

I think the winner in the BUGS category is in this thread

gr8t

can't stand the water either. do you go to a car wash or do it yourself?

cgrx

I need to wash it

rot8ryx

this is one of the nastiest threads i've seen... gross... yall need to go wash your cars now!!

GooOnYou

Invest in one of those Mr. Clean water filters that fits over your hose. Mine works pretty well.

cgrx

I hate mine

davefzr

Thats totally nasty... I hope I dont throw up the popcorn I just ate....

rot8ryx

I was considering purchasing that... do you really think its worth the money??
and how well does it really work.... i wanted to get one but at the last minute decided not to....

ArGh! I wish I had pictures of my -8 after my trip a couple of months ago..you would not believe it. It looked like I really was 'mud-bogging' it...construction area in the rain for 40 miles. Simply amazing.

Katchoo

I bought one of those too...it really does work quite well. Not a spot.

What I do find annoying is having to spray on their soap and then sponging it down. I have found I have to move really fast to make this happen before the soap/water mix starts to dry.

But the whole system does do what it advertises.

Now, to me it seems it may take off the wax I put on the car faster than a normal wash because afterwards the rain water does not seem to bead like it would if I had just waxed the car...if you understand what I mean.

rot8ryx,

I've had mine for a month now, used it three times, and washed without it once. There is a noticable difference. Practically no waterspots. I just don't think it's worth the cost. I won't be buying any more refills, but it works pretty well.

Bah, that's just typical break dust buildup :p
