Default My 2IS pees in the garage after a bath!

Does your 2IS "urinate" after a wash? After I washed mine in the driveway, I drove it up a few feet, and parked it back in the garage. After a minute or two, I saw a lot of water on the floor underneath the engine bay! I think it was because I parked and washed it on an inclined driveway, the water got puddled up somewhere inside the plastic thing underneath the engine. And when I drove it back inside the level garage, the water got dumped back out onto the floor. Has anyone experienced anything like that? And no, I did not wash my engine nor open the hood up at all!

I drive mine down the street before pulling in to detail......blows out the excess water from most places.

I think it is normal for cars to "leak" after a wash.

However, under the hood. It's possible since the weathering strips don't always protect liquids from flowing into your car. But interesting how you would open up the engine plastic after washing your car. lol.

I promise I didn't open up any plastic. Get under the car and you will see plastic covering up the whole bottom! Lexus said the plastic is there to reduce wind resistance (and to cover up engine oil leaks... j/k).
