My neighbor yelled at me for washing my cars too often.
I live in a middle class suburb in Pittsburgh. My neighbor approached me today as I was washing my car. He proceeded to tell me that I was using 180 gallons of water each time I washed my car.
He told me that he was going to videotape me and submit it to the Pennsylvania department of environmental resources. He wants them to fine me. I explained to him that I use the two bucket method and only hose off to wet the car and rinse it. The hose is not running all the time. I do not use 180 gallons in a month washing my car. It is also a free country, so I can wash it daily if I want to.
He told me that I was a neo Fascist idol worshipper and walked away mumbling.
So if you see a video of a guy washing a dark gray Acura TL on the news, that is me.
OptiCoat is a great product. You should try it.

No laws here in Pa against washing a personal vehicle unless a local municipality has a water restriction ban on.

Don't you pay for water? That's what I thought. Why is he complaining.
Report him for complaining to much.

I've had to deal with my share of kooky neighbors. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. Video tape him if he video tapes you and tell him your going to have him arrested for harrasment/stalking
I try to be green whenever I can, but some of these nutjob treehuggers take it to far. Most times they're the ones living in 10k sq ft houses and drive SUV's to boot
This is what I would do

You are correct. I live near Pittsburgh. Millions of gallons of water run throught 4 different rivers in this area. There is no water restrictions in my municipality.
I may wash one of our cars daily all weekend just for fun. I am going to bring over my parents cars and wash them, too.
I support reasonable environmental regulation, but I know these guys usually go too far.
He has a car that is full of swirls and the interior looks like a zoo animal lived there.

Give me his email and I'll send him a link to this thread. Maybe we can convert this whackjob

Yeah. I used two 5 gallon buckets via the two bucket method. I would estimate I use maybe 25-30 gallons maximum. My car is opti coated so the water rolls off and it is never too dirty.
So I know that his math is way off on this 180 gallons thing.
I am sure the PA Dept of Environmental resources has better things to do. They are busy working on regulating the shale drilling in my area. They use a lot of water for the shale drilling process.
