california is one of the only places in the US that you can go snowboarding and have a great day at the beach on the same day. infact I've done it before (although it was only to join friends for a beach barbeque and bonfire)

Lol, did you have to go that far to avoid Dunning mark-ups?
I'm in AA too.
I'm driven through Badwater about 2 weeks ago (in a rental crap), and it was only ~118F.

Dunning has a red brz coming by the end of the month. As far as I know - its not spoken for yet. Besides not wanting red - I wasn't too keen on paying over $700 for the paint and fabric protection.

Found the car I liked in Reno. I knew I would be in CA for a month with a business trip in the middle of the vacation. So - I returned from the business trip thru Reno. By the time I was ready to drive the car home - I had 1000 miles om the car. Drive home thru Utah and Colorado was awesome.

I ended up with a ~$300 doc fee which seemed not that bad given that Glendale, ca tries to charge a $5000 markup.

Do you know of anyplace around town that does 3m clear bra?

Thanks, brzce.

Why 3M? Seems like Xpel Ultimate is the way to go. I got VentureShield (3M bought it) on mine though and it seems pretty solid. I wanted Xpel Ultimate but there was a mistake made at the place that did it. :P
