Angry I am pissed!!!

I was just about to wash my TL today when my dad told me that the water restriction is back in effect for my town. So all I did was wash my rims/tires. Oh and I also use the california duster to at least clean up all the dust that's on my TL.

BTW, do I hear midnight washes again?

Most are open illegally and cops can't close them fast enough.

I think as long as you are not sprinkling your lawn, you can do a quick car wash. Just be descreet.

I can't even try to get away with it cause they sent a pamphlet out to every home. Plus my next door neighbor is a cop and the police dept is like 3 blocks from my house.

Here is the last 2 paragraphs on the pamphlet:

Any person who violates the provisions of these regulations shall be subject of a fine not to exceed $1000 or imprisonment of up to 90 days, or both, for each and every violation. Each occurrence of violation shall constitute a separate violation.

In addition to the penalties set forth above, a person found guilty of repeated violation of these regulations shall be subject to termination of water service for the period that these regulations are in effect and shall further be required to pay all fees related to the disconnection and reconnection of service.


I guess I can wait til it rains.

LOL!

I don't understand how we have a drought restriction and you guys don't even though you guys have less than 10" of rain in a year.

BTW, please send the bucket of water by priority mail and make sure nothing spills. I will not pay for shipping if I see any spills.:p

Probably the water company from the west has a network of big ass pipes across the country and suck all the water from the NorthEast so their water level always full and we at a drought warning level
