Not sure if this counts but I recently bought a DSLR and was just getting familiar with it:

LOL I got some salt/dirt on my car as well....
but was able to go to a wand wash and hose it off....back home nice and clean
before winter, I clay, polish, seal and wax....so if any dirt gets on my car, it comes off nice and easy

LOL....am sorry I didnt mean it that way....I know the winter up north are a bigger pain in the butt....
thats why I mentioned, before the winter, I make sure the paint has enough protection so I can get the dirt off without much work....
also IMO touchless washes do nothing....I hate them....I like the wand wash, where you spray the car down....
then I drive it to air dry that shizz LOL

Not a fan of touchless car washes either - harsh chemicals that strip any protection off the paint, some places reuse water, the car is never really clean (just swipe your finger on your paint after going through a wash and you'll know what I mean).
I'd rather just leave my car dirty until that one rare day that it's around 0 degrees C in Ottawa to hand wash it.
swoosh you're so lucky. Ice builds up washing the car in this temperature.

Car detailing shop in Woodbridge power washes then hand washes, air dries and then hand dries my car for $15.
I think it's worthwhile to spend the extra couple bucks every once and a while and have it done right.
ATLS, what camera/lens?

Nothing fancy, just an entry level DSLR D3100 with the 18-55 kit lens that came with it.
Also did some minor post processing in ViewNX2.
Settings before PP were:
35mm
IS0 180
Shutter-1/160
FStop- 6.3
Closest major intersection is Highway 7 & 27.

Steven Bell does....moderate drop, no need for upgrading your struts...I still recommend a camber kit if your alignment is out of spec...
Matt is running S-tech springs (or maybe H techs) the drop is more than HnR springs...again not need to upgrade your struts and camber kit is recommended and not needed

Thanks swoosh, but Bell has sport springs doesn't he? I might look into those, I was just drawn to the racing springs because it sounded like a 2 inch front drop and 1.75 inch rear drop
