Yep. Pretty sure I drove down there once. Never make a wrong turn in Detroit.

Yep, for sure.

I made a wrong turn in New Orleans, back-in-the-day, looking for a live sex show. The moral of that story is that, in New Orleans, where the street lights end ....... don't continue on down that street ......

The question on everybody's mind is - Did you make the show?
Whether you were going to watch or staring in it will remain un asked.

Well, yes, we found ..... the show. It was a "off Bourbon" street show fer sure.

We were seated in this old, dark, theater looking place with a stage. They made us drink 2 drinks, at an outlandish price, during the show. Even being a rot gut whisky lover, that stuff was awful.

The show started with this girl swinging from a low trapeze then her partner joined her, who was a chubby dude, wearing white socks. He didn't look to interested, so she had to get him up for the occasion.

The performance went on for a spell ....... and that was it.

When we left, it was quite late, and dark and we were the only white folks in this dingy neighborhood. Of course, being drunk and bulletproof, we quickly marched, unmolested, back to the bright lights of Bourbon Street ........


THE END

Thanks for keeping us informed. I'm also considering the Opticoat option and the information you're posting is helping a lot. Let us know if you do eventually get it done.

I'm scheduled to have an evaluation for a full Opticoat Pro application in a few days at a detail shop I found on Yelp, and I wanted to get some opinions about Opticoat and related products.
-I want to make sure I'm not missing out of other quality products that do a better job than Opticoat.
-For those that have Opticoat, approximately how much did it cost you?
-Any recommendations for shops in Orange County would be much appreciated.
I searched this forum, but I wanted something current and relevant to the OC area.

Opinions/thoughts/expertise welcome!

Why is that BRZ parked in a Tesla showroom???

I would vouch for clear bra followed by ceramic coating either by Sonax which is aerosol application for ease of install.

or

Carpro Cquartz

Update: Worked out a deal with the same shop, $1600 for full front Sunteck PPF (hood, bumper, fenders, mirror caps) and the rest of the car, trim, and wheels protected with OptiCoat Pro Plus. Lifetime warranty for the PPF, 7 year warranty for OptiCoat. Most likely going to move forward with this.

I'd say about 25% of Tesla employees are total gear heads. The other 75% are electric drivers. Having such a driver focused car is nice when you're around autonomy and electric motors every day.

I don't think I will ever buy all electric, but I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't buy hybrid either. I honestly can't wait to see more production on hybrid and for it to become the new standard for all vehicles.. gotta wait for that engineering to trickle down though for them to be in affordable performance cars.

A hybrid 86/brz would be really cool. RWD, Hybrid, similar weight, manual gear box and fuel economy similar to an i8....

I wouldn't buy a current (no pun intended) electric vehicle but as they keep getting better and better one could end up on the list someday.
