Hey guys its been a while, well life has thrown me some major curve balls. First my mom got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer so I dropped everything and went to VA to help her, while there I find my aunt has end stage lukemia so I helped all I could with that, moms surgery went well but they found another tumor so please keep her in prayers. After all this I return home to find I was fired from my job for going to help my mother even though my boss said its ok. So I start clawing through that as well. Then my father becomes the victim of identity theft so we are currently goin through this. Keep us in prayers and we will perservere. Now onto the car, its doing great I've won 4 more shows, its gonna be featured in "cruizing carolina magazine" next month, its also headed to the darlington speedway next month for a club photoshoot. Also its entered in the year one carshow next month specifically because all procedes goto help find the cure for cancer. And today I find out my car was 1 of 20 invited to a show next week that I'm getting paid to enter. I think that's pretty much it. I hope everyone else is doing great and I will be gettin up with you all

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.

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
