There's a car wash on the other side of route 29 just across from the IHOP. I do believe it is touch less also, but they have the Latinas at the end with towels drying it off. I think it's called "Flagship".
I have no experience with this place or the hotness factor of any of the Latinas.

To all: It will be Cold! dress accordingly. Also, remember this is on daylight savings day so no-one has the excuse that they couldn't wake up and get there in time (Justin, Vlad).

Duc, you just need to be good enough for pictures. None of us will care about pristine. I highly doubt anywhere will be open other then those ones you do yourself, and it will be too cold for that (34F). Wipe of the dew/frost in the morning and use some detailer if you really care. But honestly, you don't need to rub in how much better your paint is then ours

Man, you like to drive huh? Good luck to ya. If you are serious, try see if anyone else down there wants to make the haul with you. It's always better to have another 7 along with in case you have any issues.

I must also bow out this time. Some last minute moving plans came up for tomorrow. I'll definitely make the spring trip though. Much apologies gentlemen. Have fun tomorrow!

Today just wasnt my day.. Woke up early, the car felt great, pulled into the Starbucks parking lot, came back out to hit the road and the battery was dead. I ended up having to get a cab back to the house to grab my jumper cables and by then it was way too late. Hope you guys had a great time though, looking forward to the pics!

Sorry to those who couldn't make it, hope to see you next time. We had a good trip again this year. Things were a bit cold due to the wind but in all I think every one had a good time (even those who's day ended early). Breakfast was nice, we got a little later start then I'd like but traffic wasn't too bad. There was a small incident while ascending the hill but luckily everyone was ok and there was only some superficial damage. The lookouts were nice but we were well past peak for the leaves and it was too cold/windy to hang out and enjoy the view very long. We then had lunch at the Italian place again and stopped by Bust Head on the way back into town where we had some beers and took a tour of their facility. Thanks again for everyone that was able to make it, I'm looking forward to the next one.

My pics of the day:
