Like most people in NAM?

Anyone else see the "Marvin" comic in Sunday's comics? The first thing that came to mind was, well, NAM people in general :



I was not sure where to post this. MINI Talk has become model specific now. Detailing 101, well, it seemed out of place. And it's certainly not Off Topic.

Didn't see the cartoon until your post. Seems like perfectly normal behavior to me!

You can cut several hours off of your detailing time by having the arches painted, like the ones in the cartoon!

That's what I thought. Only 3 hours?!? Maybe a quick wash and dry, but wax?.....polish?.......**** detailing? Not a chance.

My pre-winter detail takes a while day by itself. I mean with all the washing, clay barring, and waxing my arms are pretty much dead the next day.

Sounds like me! :-) I throw as many pots/pans/dishes into the dishwasher as possible though. ;-)
Hey, ProfessorDave! Were'nt you at MINIs On Top this year? Your plates look familiar. I think you may have joined our litle caravan in VT someplace.
