Markus, I would bet your 911 came with the built in windshield wipers. And if you only wash it once a year you are abusing it. Drive it more and wash it!

I figure the less water that finds it way up those cranes and nook's, the less risk of corrosion. Rain or wash - same water.

I know. Who am I saving it for??

Markus,

It's a shortened version of the phrase "....like a monkey ******* a football." Typically describing someone or something trying to do something in a horribly uncoordinated, inept, unskilled manner. vis-a-vis "John building a server is like a monkey ******* a football" or "Phil putting on a tie is like..." You get the idea.

It works in almost any situation.

Guess I cant say "f uching".

Anyway, try it sometime. You'll usually get the "WFT???" look from most of the room, and one or two smiles and nods.
