I've got to fix a spot of body rust on the boot, and vacuum! The "winter floor mats" ($10 don't care if I beat them to hell rubber mats from target) came out a few days ago, and they've been hiding sand under them

Well the last car I had had a hole in the mat where my right heel was, after 12years 207k mi; but yeah MINI mats =$90 and target ones =$10 I don't care about putting holes, slush, sludge, salt etc (they've saved me from a few disasters with drinks from fast food joints falling into the passenger well, something about those left hand turns on green arrows) And I gotta say, they get taken out, power washed and they're actually good as new, minus the trimming needed to get them to fit around the gas pedal.

ML just got a package from NJ, I think it was a box of paper. Shipped on 4/12

Plot to disrupt the US economy through crappy "free" shipping.

I mean, if you stop ordering from Griot's.... game over, economically. Dollar will collapse. Osama will have ALL the detailing supplies and we're SCREWED.
