Everytime I read one of your write-ups, I think "I need a foam cannon."

Nice work, and SWEET car!

Looks like there was 4500 miles of dirt on that driver side floor mat alone.

Being in SoCal at this time of year we don't know what rain is.

We could use the rain, and hopefully this winter will be good to us in the form of more water.
