  1. I've been looking for a no gloss solution for an interior "detailer." I got to talking with a Megiars rep today and they suggested I yet their synthetic spray wax. Now, I'm already familiar with this product as I use it after every wash inbetween sealant application. Everyone that touches my vehicle always comments on how softand slick the paint is. So tonight I cleaned the interior, grabbed my bottle of express wax and went to town. I am absolutely THRILLED with the results. The best things is, you can use it on nearly every surface save for cloth or touch screens. As an added bonus, it provides and extra layer of protection AND U.V. inhibitors. Did I mention it smells great too? Here's a link for anyone interested.
  2. I won each of the 3 years I was in Cub Scouts. If you have accessible to a track, play around with weight distribution. Forward weight helps you gain speed downhill, but increases friction and causes drag quickly near the end of the track. Most of my cars were a simple wedge design with a hole through the back which acted as a wing. No paint. I would finely sand and wax it as smooth as I possibly could. Growing up in a body shop made that part easy. For weight we would drill holes, melt sinkers, and poor them in the body, then shave smooth. I know it is supposed to be a fin thing, but I'm super competitive and made sure I put everything I had into my cars to win. As others have said, graphite is awesome. Just make sure you use the powder and NOT the liquefied shit.
  3. That's all I can contribute.
  4. I disagree.
  5. Ignorant consumers equal mass sales.
  6. I disagree.
  7. Since the roads have been clear, I find myself longing for speed. Not good.
  8. Two weeks ago it was snowing non-stop. My blower takes a shit, I spend $1200 on a new one, and it hasn't snowed since. Christmas day brought 40s and rain, and yesterday it was mid 50s. All snow has melted save for the large plowed mounds. . . I hate living here.
  9. What's wrong?
  10. Sounds like US politics.
  11. Better than giving you the stink eye!
  12. I feel you! Fucking cars!
  13. Bought a new blower, and just as I get done unloading it, a guy shows up to buy my pickup! Worked out to not be so bad.
  14. I blowed up my 2 stage blower today and my little Toro is not handling this wet nasty shit at all. Here's another grand I did not plan on spending. Last year it was vehicles; this year it's been power equipment and home mechanicals.
  15. I have the opposite problem. I eat a LOT of peanuts. Couple that with my apple and melon intake, and I'm full or fiber.
  16. A nice tax break for 2016 too!
  17. Congrats Dad!
  18. We've had single digit highs and negative lows for 3 days now. It won't stop snowing either. I'm so done with winter.
  19. Just wait until you see it for the first time. Shit gets real in an instant.
  20. Around here we call fat chicks weight boxes, or taco supremes.
  21. You're going to want something forced air, so it's going to be noisy. No way around that in a portable unit. I use a Mr. heater unit at my parent's house and it works great. It was only $75 too!
  22. Must be nice.
  23. So. . . The Mazda is not very adept in the snow. It's far too light. I'm very displeased at the moment. I REALLY like this car, but damn, it's just not a car for this time of year. I'm contemplating driving the Town Car, but then I'm right back in the same situation I want to get out of. It's almost as if all my research and time invested pre-purchase was all for naught. It's almost depressing. Ugh!
