if it was only a nicer color i would do some serious polishing...it's
like some sand silver kinda warm color and hides everything so not worth it.

 

I love my wife a lot... but her mother.... wow....

 

my wife's great, her mom looks after my older kid during the day so i need to
put in some effort.

now my wife's dad is a character.... he has been an **** from
day one (15yrs ago).

 

sometimes i wish my car was nome warm nuetral color that hid everything. but then again that never looks real great either. i love how good it looks now.

 

greengoblin- we have this thread called 'Random Thought of the Day' in
the off topics forum.

 

went to ace and got my dremel tips... bristle (nylon) brush and steel brush.

 

so im looking at the package, nice and pretty, colorful. then read
"Made in USA."

lol no wonder thing costs $4.50 a pop. make that in china, same
functionality $0.12 each.

 

Looks like my MINI is going to have to show-up at the Dragon the way it is, Zaino on some parts, DP products on others, Hydro on the whole thing. Oh well, by the time ya motor down there they don't look great anyway, and I refuse to spend time there detailing, except maybe a wash when we get there. I have work right up till Saturday, we leave Sunday. Santana today though, going to go back early tonight to watch some of the show before we tear it down. Barry Manilow Friday, I'll just show up for the out

Applying this logic i could by a Chinese MINI Next year for $6,500 brand new.

 

Yeah, I think I am gonna know that all to well here in less than 60 days...

Be nice, some times things just slip out! haha

 

I think this may be a case for Banana Gas.

Looking forward to meeting you somewhere/sometime at MOTD!

 

yah, and it will break down just like the original.



hey, scurvz- you getting engaged??!!

yah, i sometimes surprise myself what just came out of my mouth.

 

Great idea I have a bottle left too, we get there Monday, maybe then.

I'm sure we will meet up there, I'll probably have the 2 dogs in tow most of the time, especially at the DP tent, Heather needs her dog fix

i think im going to do the oil change tonight on that solara so that i can
play with my cars more on the weekends.

im hoping that those toyota 4bangers have the oil filter near the bottom.
their V6 is like between the headers. those can be a mess unless
we apply the GreatBear technique....but given that we MINIers do our
own oil changes on our MCS's it should be a breeze.

 

I am! Happend back in November. Getting married in June down in SC. Going down there this weekend to get the license and stuff. Have to work a few hours tomorrow morning before flying back to Ohio to pick her up.

 

Yeah, that sucks. My parents had a RX300 that was awful to get at the filter. It was worth the 50 bucks or whatever the dealer wanted to change it, always took me hours.

 

If I'm lucky, maybe he'll have me in tow, too Besides, I usually get Sadie the Mutt who is not the greatest on her leash yet

wow, congrats!!!


luckily the solara's 4 banger has the filter just in front of the engine
easily accessible from the bottom. wasn't hard to do at all.

will do the interior and tire rotation tomorrow.

 

We're together, the hounds are in tow.

Keep saying that if it makes you feel better.

 

wait, do we have a jealous wife here?


man, i wish i had a jealous wife... she's too busy with the kids
im left out in the garage all to myself. ... ahem, i meant

 

Thanks, I am very excited!

 

so you guys are going to live in WA or later moving back to your home
town in Ohio?

 

Not sure yet...still have 50 days to figure that out...

 

now is a good time to buy a house.
