Mine goes thru the touchless wash, after about 2 drives. Just to spray the light crap off, and get the wheels. Gotta change those brake-pads soon.
Factory pad dust...is the worst..changed mine the first month

Leaving her out in the weather like that is how you treat 4 door cars, not Challengers!
You would think you are talking about a Chevy. They are the same cars with more room and some of them are faster then others 2 doors:geek:

I'm definitely no expert on the subject, but do they still use Chevys as taxis?

Changed mine at 12 miles. Basically never drove it with those nasty things. They did not work well at the road course either. Blasted most of the fronts in one day.

They dry faster when you drive!

Back in the day we would rent a lakehouse for a couple weeks every year. The Golden would be in the water all day. Before sunset every day we would go for a 70mph cruise to dry the dog! :)

I drove mine in the rain today!

Okay, so there was one short section when I saw stuff on the windshield that wasn't bugs. Micro rain at best, but still.

It's not about keeping the dog out of the water, more like keeping the water away from the dog! :ROFLMAO:

This pic is Sally, she died suddenly at 9y in 2017. Fresh water is no prob, but the thing about the ocean is that they really need a bath after... But it is way worth it!
