Later!





humfrz - oh, I hope the valve springs hold together and I don't spin a bearing -
Your car sounds like it's begging to be detailed

Nothing but sun in the forecast for the next week so I couldn't help but get a thorough wash done and apply a fresh coat of beadmaker yesterday... Who am I kidding, I've yet to go more than 3 weeks without washing it.

Ha, I'm standing in a camper, and they're issuing tornado watches.

Your car is looking goooood!

Yep, my car is due for it's annual waxing. I did clean off the exhaust tips before we took our ride - that's what I see when I'm walking away from and looking back at, my car -

Spirited drive to escape Mrs Humfrz brunching??


BTW, my car goes for valve work on the 8th June, staying at the garage one week... I hope the valve springs hold until the 8th..
Oh, my, I think something got lost in the hillbilly - English translation -

However, you do have a point - mrs humfrz riding along and spirited drive, do not belong in the same sentence.

Good luck with your valve spring work -

Yours looks beautiful!

I had planned to wash mine this weekend, especially with Norcal86 summer kick off this coming Saturday, but with the accident happening I'm holding off on washing it till the insurance stuff goes through :\.

Having just woken up from an unplanned nap, I read this as your car needed an anal waxing so you cleaned off the exhaust tips. Made that last part far more amusing until I reread it.
