Default Couple Questions

What's going on guys?
Bought a black isf bought 6 months go. Drove for 2 months and sadly had to put it away for the cold winter. Everyday i come on this forum i wanna take the car out. Last couple weeks have been pretty nice and couldn't resist but take the car out. Now my questions are....

1. Any harm going through touchless car wash?
2. Car has been put away for bout 4 months. Still bout 4k till my 2nd checkup, should i wait to get oil change or better to do it once it's on the road?
3. Steering wheel feels a lil stiff and drifts to the left side when driving on highway.
4. DVD hack.... Can anyone give me information on plug and play kit. Do we still have to go in the console and mess with wirings?
5. Any important things i should do before i put it on the road?
6. How u guys like F ALL DAY as plates?

Forgot to mention.... F'ing amazing car!
What a smile i had when i opened the garage door!

Welcome to the site and congrats on your F!

I'm sorry its been stored away for the winter, I've heard it's been a pretty brutal one this year

1) I haven't ever been through a touchless car wash before, I always hand wash mine Are there wheel racks you put the F in? I'd be cautious putting it through one as you never know what kind of crappy soap or water their using, plus if it has racks you could scrape up your wheels
2) I would personally wait a little to have an oil change done. How many miles do you have on it so far? The F carries so much oil, there is really no reason to worry about getting it changed so soon. Go out and enjoy the F for a while
3) Have you checked your tire pressure? If the car has been sitting awhile I would check the tire pressure to make sure they're all equal and filled up to the proper PSI and if it persists you might need a realignment
4) I would do a search on here with regards to the DVD hack, there is a ton of information on this forum regarding various types (messing with wires, other kits, ect.)
5) Check the tire pressure, fluid levels, etc. then go out and enjoy
6) I really like that plate provided your DOT will let you have it
