A Riddle for Y'All...

What's wrong with this picture?

Unrelated to the above... I just finished cleaning the interior, used some Eagle One leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats. Definately makes the seats feel better. They look pretty shiny in the pics, but it dulls down after a day or so to a nice satin sheen. Have a look...

your car looks like it came with real leather seats, while my car came with used plastic garbage bag covered seats.

What kind of car is that in the background?
Did you take off the wood trim?

The interior is stock with exception of the All-Weather floor mats...standard issue bowling ball trim. The car in the garage is a Volvo 850.

Nobody can figure out what's odd in the first picture???? I'll give you sort of a hint..."it's hard to see"

We have a winner!!!!!!

First, as I stated above I just cleaned the interior today...windows, seats, carpets, etc. I used Eagle One Leather Cleaner and Conditioner (Two separate products) on the seats after a good vacuuming. I've had the Eagle One stuff for a while and I'm pleased with its results. The seats took me about an hour to do. I just sprayed on the cleaner and wiped off with a terry towel. Then, using the conditioner like hand lotion, you pour some in your hands, smear it around a little and give your seats a good massage. Once covered, I like to let it set a few minutes and then buff off with another clean terry towel. And thats what you see in the pics. After a day or so the leather absorbs the conditioner and "dries" to a satin sheen. I haven't noticed any staining on clothes either, so dont worry about sitting on the shiny seats.

Any yes, AMIR has answered the riddle. The Red Rocket is sans passenger side mirror. Removal was courtesy of a tree branch lodged in a snow bank that I had the misfortune to make contact with on a treacherous ride home Friday night. And as some may remember, I recently scratched a rim...well now I have two scratched rims (one severely), one blown-out $155 Michelin tire, a savagely removed side mirror, dented/scratched hood, and other minor cosmetic defects. The only "good" aspect of Fridays mishap (besides no injuries) is that all the paint chips in the hood will be fixed along with the dog claw marks on the passenger door.

On a side note, it is nice not to have that big mirror in the way some times, but highway travel is a pain without it.

Here's a pic:



I'll put up more pics later, and due to the blow out and no-one stocking the 215/50 R17 Michelins, I had to go with an interim fix using my TL rims and some Dunlops I had on the Borbet Type-M's I had on my old Accord. Lemme tell ya--The Dunlop D60 A2's are no snow tire, but seem to handle better on clear roads than the Michelins. Btw, their size is 205/55 R16.

Maybe you could use the electrical tape around your visor to fix it.

That ain't no cheap mirror either ... hey i lost a tire at 10,000 to a nail in the sidewall ... my cousin saw it while he was rotating my tires for me at the dealership. would've gotten some new tires all the way around, but i had to leave for a long distance road trip the next morning ... dammit!

That's actually a visor wallet...do you think I'd put electrical tape around my visor? BTW, being 6'3", I rarely use the visor as it's too low to see under when down. A good pair of sunglasses is a must.

Amir...you can have the mirror if you want...it's in about 300 pieces though and not all of them in my posession. I'll have to sweep up the remnants once spring rolls around. I'll post a pic later with the rest of the damage for those who "need" to see. I'm really amazed that the pass. window didn't blow out when the mirror hit it. Makes me think that the weak seatbelt retractor is NOT by design...
