I live on a dirt raod, and if I don't wash it occasionally it'll become unrecognizable.

That and I plan on keeping it a while and washing off the dirt takes away places for rust to start.

YKYAEM if.....

while coasting down a hill in neutral you pass a Prius who is slowing down for the upcoming corner, and you wonder who is getting the better mileage, reconsider gloating when you remember the regenerative brakes it has, then bet to yourself you're at least more percentage points above the epa average....
