Do you wax your car with Glass???? It looks like a mirror, very nice

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I do!

Thanks, brother.

Here's a throwback...found this old gem of me first installing the coilovers, a month after owning the car and saying I was going to leave it as is.

And clean shaven too.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Sir yes sir.

Is that the look you gave to get your woman to go out with you?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yes, Yummy...it really is.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I like the non-clean shaven look.....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Me too! I look like a baby beaver with no hair! AHHHH

Anyway, what kinda love does one give their car when it's raining every day? Interior!
Still going strong with my almost 11 year old baby! Leather is good, new dash, all weather mats...just need to have the headliner redone, it's droopy (well, it WAS until I put shirt pins everywhere to hold it up).

Nice.


It's too bad these seats (mine too) get that creased up look after awhile.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks!
Honestly, it's the clarity of the picture that I messed with that makes them seem a lot more visibly creased. I mean, it's there, but it's not that bad. Plus, they're soaking in leather rejuvinator.

^Nice pics J.!


Is that what you call it? Leather Rejuvinator?

iTrader: (5)

Jeremy, I have had great luck on my leather seats with Leatherique. I have been using the same on the wifey's car....it really makes the leather supple....not sure if thats what you are using to rejuvenate the leather....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I considered it often, but the price turned me off. I've been using Griot's Leather Rej and it seems to really absorb into the seat. Maybe I'll give LR a try though.

Slpr04UA6

^I Love the Griots Interior cleaner & Leather conditioner, but have yet to try the Rejuvinator!

It's funny, people still comment on how "new" the car smells, even aftr being 10 yrs old!

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

well you need to come on by and rip some in my car too in that case....I want mine to smell "new"

Slpr04UA6

^lol! Rip........


That's quite the drive from Florida! Steven, I believe uses the Griots products, borrow some of his!

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Yes, I prefer Griot's products. But I've never tried the Leather Rejuvinator. I'm anxious to hear how well it works.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

That's what I use...honestly, it smells weird but NONE of the other leather products seem to really soak in like the rejuvenator. I plan to get more...I accidentally got a big bottle of the cleaner and protectant and it doesn't work as well.

Last pics look great man!

Off topic question.....what do you do to secure your bike well? I'm about to buy a better bike and every time i have the bike secured to my truck bed with a lock and one of the steel bike cables i cant help but feeling nervous if i go into a store for a couple hours (etc, etc.) that someone will come by and steal it. Drop some bike security knowledge on me man. I know as careful and DIY as you are i'm sure you've got that nice bike ultra secured.

Leatherique is a must. Hands down

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

That good, huh?
Thank you, sir!

Well, for one, I have the lock on my bike rack TO the hitch.
Then, I have a lock that comes out of the end of the rack that I wrap around the frame.
Plus I have a U shaped ONGUARD that I run through the frame to the main shaft of the bike rack.
AND If I totally HAVE to go to the store, I park backward with the end of the rack up against a pole or wall so a thief would not have room to work.

Honestly though, I don't leave it alone very often.

MAS

Perfect, i knew you would give some good notes. Thx


PS - lets see a pic of that bike again (dont remeber where in this 2,000 page thread it is).

Damn, you've got way too many...sell me one of those to help you clear up some garage space.


PS - Even not knowing too much about bikes i can tell that orange one is a serious piece of hardware. Not gonna ask. Really, really...not going to ask. Seriously, its none of my business and i wont ask.










Unless you want to tell us how much something like that cost you. Haha

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Well, only 1 suits your needs...

1 is a road bike converstion for speed
1 is a fixie trash salvage for fun and bling
1 is mountain
1 is wifey's
1 is raised up mid size tires and comfort

The 2007 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro in Anodized Orange with a 1 x 9 gear conversion... nope, don't recall what it cost!

MSRP was $4400, I paid nearly 1/2 that on ebay in 2010 before I understood how proxy bidding worked in relation to the seller's buy it now price.

Haha, based on the ones i have seen this week that thing definitely looks like its worth every penny. Good for you man, enjoy it. I will probably not spend anywhere near that as i'm just into riding around my neighborhood or other more scenic areas for a good outdoor exercise. A decent $300-$500 one should do fine for me. Can you mention a couple recommendations in that range??

PS - i would be armed everywhere i went on that beast. Shoot the front disk breaks look almost as big as our BBKs. Haha.

I got two motorcycles for $1000. Just saying.


Also, where did you get your padded panties. I'm a couple of rides in this season, increasing distance and duration each time (last ride was 26 miles). The butthurt isn't that bad anymore, but wouldn't mind some extra cushion.

Also. Your TL is teh tits.

I make post in thread of J. You make happy now?

That's what she said.

HOLY BIKES !!!

thats a nice selection you got going on Jeremy...

Steven Bell

With all that stuff in your garage, where do you keep the hookers and strippers?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks bruh...
IMO, specialized trek giant canondale gary fisher...
BUT, I will say you have to pick your poison and choose accordingly to the terrain you'll ride. knobby tires won't pop when you hit the trails but they will wear quick and have too much rolling resistance on pavement...road tires and 700cc can't handle a trail, you'll bend rims.
Based on what you are planning, I'd say maybe the Specialized Explorer...since it's a smooth 2" tire for the streets but beefy enough for some light trails.
I don't want a motorcycle...otherwise I'd probably have one
I bought mine off of Amazon...and my previous pair from Sports Authority...get the gel pearl izumi ones...they help a lot, man. Especially since i don't have kids yet
My pants just got short...glad you could make it, Tyler! We're going to have a ball!
It sure is...isn't it.
Thanks bud!
Steven...i hang the bikes from the ceiling hookers and have a special shelf for all my paint strippers. Duh.
