Cleaned her up and dressed her up for her trip Wednesday to the beach, DAYTONA BEACH!!! Man, she looks sweet in her black bra! Yes she does! Tightened up and ready for a road trip. You're not going the THE Daytona 500 are you? jealous Yep, plus some. Duels on Thurs, trucks on Fri, Nationwide on Sat, and the granddaddy, THE 500 on Sunday. Nelson, that's the main reason I use it. Keeps the suicidal bugs and the road rash off the paint. Final prep today, tire balance and rotation cleared up the shimmy I had in the steering. Full tank and ready to go.

Sitting in a dealership lounge using my iPad on their wi-fi, waiting for them to complete an oil change and semi annual inspection (oil change includes four winter mats, snow brush, and a set of wiper blades for $55 bucks - a deal at a dealership!).
