    I'm sure Chuck and Mark the two of you have been out that way a time or two...
    Yup.... The red Ferrari is still for sale on the side of the road with weeds above the window sill.... Such a shame to do that to that car....

    I was going to snap a picture on the way back...
    But I was again driving a little bit enthusiastically (but not quite as much as before), and it came up on me too fast...

    Spent Sunday sanding, polishing, and waxing. Black is a pain to detail. But it looks great now!

    Nick that is the price you have to pay for black. Nothing prettier than a fresh clean black car. Nothing harder to achieve.

    They are not that big a deal to install... Assuming you don't have a lot of rust on the strut / wheel nuckle....

    I did them all by myself... And I'm an "old fart"... I mean... Silverback....:D

    I'm avoiding the John Deere dealer this time haha.

    Probably coax my dad into it. I can tell you how to do things but I can't do them. Lol

    MrJim, use a little Aquapel on those side windows and that water will bead up and blow off - dramatically increases safety.. Seriously, that's the first thing I do when I get a new car, and I've even done it to rental cars. RainX works in a pinch, since those windows don't get the wiper friction that causes RainX to haze. Heck, car wax can work for a while, but that Aquapel is wonderful stuff. Different chemistry than RainX and other silicone-based products. Lasts nearly forever on side windows, and a LONG time on windshields.
