well im general embarassed by the quality of this but hey its something at least. even published my explanation to the editor as to why i sent it in....but either way here it is. enjoy

today i learned that my car is going to be the featured car on my car clubs newsletter!!! god this is gonna be sweet, i will upload it via a scanner soon as i get a copy

after alot of looking and dealing with a bunch of immature pricks i finally found, ordered, received, and installed my new spoiler. its not the exact one i want but i paid $22.50 for it and it was painted to match my car! i think it flows well with the car but its just too quiet for my tastes, but until i can save up the $1250.00 for the one i really want this'll do LOL.

give feedback and let me know what ya think about this change.

well i decided to go ahead and join that car club that i was invited to join and good grief do they do alot of stuff!! im gonna have all my spare time taken up and i L-O-V-E it, show after show, cruize in after cruize in, show and shine after show and shine, anyway heres the list and yes i know its NOT in order lol

w00t w00t w00t i cant wait until tomorrow now

well tonight was my first time showing the monte off this year, was just a local show and shine but was awesome. was almost 50 cars there and my car was loved by all. was even asked to join a car club. was a bunch of awesome classics there in fact i think my car was the only one there made after 1970 lol. but was well worth it, i will be going back every friday for this show and shine for now. i also now have access to a list of all the car shows within 100 miles of me so guess what ITS SHOW TIME BABY YEAH

as im sittin here watching the fox news channel i see all these truckers in london parked in the road blocking traffic on strike because diesel there is 9 YES NINE EIGHT PLUS 1 9 DOLLARS A GALLON!!!!! holy crap thats just flat out ridiculous. you figure these trucks have at least a 300 gallon capacity so thats a 2700 dollar fill up for these guys. makes me really wonder if msn news's prediction of 10 dollar a gallon gas here in america by 2010 is realistic where as before i thought it was bull. man us as a country needs to come together and come together now before we are the ones having to pay 9 dollars a gallon for any sort of fuel espically the least refined that there is.


/rant lol

finally a break in the weather, no rain in the forecast for at least 7 days, was partly cloudy and 72 and i finally got to detail my ride. if yall will refer to the blog post "this is how i was" you will realize how involved that is lol. spent about 6hrs doing the detail and then cruized ocean boulevard for a while and showed off to all the people around. even so much as got a "DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYMN" as the d00d spun his head around to get a good look at my car. felt so good to finally clean my car the way it deserves to be clean and of course for others to notice is a added bonus. i know everybody on this site that loves their car knows exactly what im talking about. back aches from all the bending, neck hurts from all the contorting arms are tired and sore but god i am loving it. i even added the extra of vacuuming under the hood to get all the leaf litter and whatnot removed. tho it was very wierd vacuuming the underside of my trunk now that i have a lid there lol. while i was at it i also redid my calipers so their a bright red again now too :-D but anyway now i gotta get the car dirty so i can do it again haha, lord i am obsessed...

now this is only when im gettin ready for a show

i use

mothers back to black, on all the plastic trim i.e. around the doors and windows, where the wiper arms bolt in, the trim piece on the trunk ect..

i use the rainx that u pour into your wiper fluid

turtle wax paste was and polishing compound, and i use a buffer for the polishing part, its a 7k rpm random orbital buffer

mothers claybar

for quick detail i use turtle wax liquid ice

armor all tire gel w/the curved applicator (i use this becasue it doesnt throw black across your car when u drive away)

tire bleach to clean the tires

california water blade instead of shammys

california car duster for the dust that settles after driving to the show

my wheels are just painted i guess so i just use soap and water on them and scrub em with a light brush and a microfiber cloth

turtle wax chrome paste for tips, grill, and that stuipd piece on the hood

flitz for the headlights

armor all for the dash and interior leather and trim

detailers brush for the nooks and crannys

febreze auto for the good smell

i have a 12v vacuum for detail at the show and a craftsman 10gal wet/dry vac for before i go

oddly enough i use the walmart 97cent carwash, but i use a diff bucket for the wheels and tires, bottom part of car, middle of car, and top of car

advance auto brand degreaser, toothbrush, and long brush for engine bay

i make sure to keep a fresh coat of engine paint on my muffs

take wheels off and clean all brake dust and scrub my painted calipers

i used "rubberized undercoating" behind the wheels on the fenderwells to make it a complete blackout except for the color of the calipers, struts and springs

and i think thats my routine for cleaning my car for a car show, if i forgot anything i apoligise and ill come back to fill in

think im obsessed anyone?

the nice weather that is, these 40 degree rainy days have GOT TO GO! i have this horrible itch to detail my car and i cannot scratch it long as the weather wants to be gay. ive organized and reorganized and moved all my detail materials around just trying to ease the pain of not being able to wash, claybar, wax, polish, dust whatever. but thats ok soon the nice weather will roll in and ill be out there for hours making the car look its absolute best. and now onto the 2nd part of this rant lol.


car show season i am so glad its starting up cos ive missed putting my car in them, getting looks giving looks, making friends, seeing awesome rides. and winning isnt too bad either hehe. im sure anybody that reads this feels what im saying here.

ive got so many plans from a nascar edition spoiler, to a cowl hood to some 18s, and getting my new eibach/gr2 suspension installed to make this car that much better, oh and the new side exit super 44 exhaust as well :-D

oh well ill end this rant and just bide my time until the sun wakes up and then ITS ON BABY lol

haha won best in class at the show today, was frieken sweet and we raised thousands for the local cancer society, i say all in all it was a great sucess, and the 4ft tall trophy makes a nice addition to my collection lol
