thanks, J.
i love flying dog...they have their brewery about a 1/2 hour from my house.



thanks dave. i was surprised i won...they had some real nice cars there and i think there were about 13 of them in the TUNER class that i entered in.

thanks, anil. it could not have been a worse day for a car show. i was literally soaking wet by the time i got home...ugh.

for some reason the judges all liked my car, even tho there were a bunch more that were nicer. i was the only TL there haha!

probably.

thanks, john. first place went to some attention whore grabbing teal BMW. the guy had a matching teal shirt, and shoes, and a BMW jacket.

he won last year too...seems like more of a popularity contest plus i think his car was sponsored. oh well, what're you gonna do? i'm happy i won anything at all...i never win shit.

nice! ready for another round this Sunday?! got my axles replaced and problems fixed!

bout to roll to the cp meet fresh now

ebelp

Noooo! I was thinking in the back of my head.."I hope it wasn't that nasty looking blue BMW that I saw pictures of". Oh well. We all know whose car is hotter.

iTrader: (6)

Well, the BMW is probably hot, but unfortunately it sounds like the driver fits the demographic of a typical BWM driver.
Either way, 2nd place, and you built the car yourself. IS first place in MY book.

Honestly, a rainy or overcast day is a LOT more kind for us NBP guys to show off our color. The Sun really makes us naked. So to speak.

NBP in direct sunlight = gorgeous or swirl-city

nice! glad you got it all fixed. i'll cya next sunday, where are we meeting and what time?

haha yup that's the one. i didn't even think it was all that great TBH. ...and he won 1st place in 2 diff categories. yeah, that makes sense...

thanks, J.

yeah i didn't take a lot of pics. they have a bunch uploaded on their facebook page tho. a lot of nice cars there for sure.

appreciate it!

pretty much sums up how i feel too. like i said, popularity contest. i think that guy goes to A LOT of meets and people know him. i dunno.

AGREED. i spent all day saturday detailing it and praying for no rain the next day. boy was i wrong! the CP meet this weekend should be great weather. i just hope my paint still looks proper by then.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

true! but, i spent a good 6 hours correcting what winter left behind on my car. there wasn't a blemish on my car saturday night. and since it only rained sunday, i'm sure i'll still be swirl free by the next meet.

this.

I also think the BWM sucks lol. And that sure is an side skirt.

Where did you get the CF Acurazine sticker?!

TLtrigirl

iTrader: (1)

go play with your car.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

get a room you two.

thanks for agreeing!

i got the CF decal from a secret source...i'm not at liberty to divulge such information currently.

yeah just don't crash it again.

Hard to argue that, my friend...NBP is the best when it's clean and swirl free.

Griots Paint Sealant. I can't say enough how this, with little effort, makes my NBP look fantastic everytime!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Griot's huh...how's longevity?

iTrader: (4)

Ill be at Kohls by 11:30AM Sunday morning. Everyone will leave at 11:45 to drive to the stadium just to prepare for the traffic that day. Gonna be mad

ebelp

Interesting. I heard their all-in-one polish was pretty effortless, but the sealant took a little work.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I think Zaino z2 is awesome too...but can't say how long the protection goes, I usually get crazy and do it every couple of months anyway.

ChrisJ

My current favorite string of beers...Great Brewery...

As for sealants I still love BFWD...If you dont have any I can sample you out a few ounces and next time you are in the area just pick it up...

Shark not trying to hijack ya here but I'm going to quickly answer those questions.

Three products are OUTSTANDING from Griots imo. Some of the others are good but these stood out to me.

The sealant...http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ortby=ourPicks

This is hands down the best sealer/wax I've ever used. And I've tried most. To me there are a few things that make me like this product. One, it lasts an incredibly long time. I'm a dozen washes deep and it's still there. Two, it's crazy easy to put on and crazy easy to take off. And as I've used it I've learned how to apply it better. Three, while it doesn't have quite the gloss the best of show does (which is INSANE btw) it is still very shiney. On top of that, like Zaino, it leaves the car feeling extremely slick. This year I put on three light coats spread out over three weekends. Now my car feels like it's teflon coated. I, not joking, don't even use any soap/brushes/rags to wash my car anymore. Just bust out the pressure washer at a self help station, make a few laps around the car to spray it off...done. It just beads the dirt away.

Last time I did this I actually just soaked a polishing pad with it. That single soak lasted me the entire car. Putting a nice thin even layer down. I let it sit overnight and then easily swiped off the residue with a micro the next morning in a few minutes.

The tire dressing... http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ortby=ourPicks

Just like the sealant, this stuff lasts FOREVER! I've never once encountered a tire shine product that last this long. It goes down smooth, no flinging, and it's a wet matte look not some super shiny nonsense.

And the leather rejuvenator...http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...urPicks&page=2

I love this stuff for two reasons. One, it has almost fixed/removed some of the bigger cracking I had on my bolsters. I mean it has softened the leather up so much that the cracks have started to recede. Two, it smells fantastic.

Maharaj, holy fk, why did you have to post this!?! From someone that's always on the prowl for something that's better...

...and you have NBP, which means you have credibility in my eyes. I'm happy with the super glossy tire shine i have, since I'm black on black on black...etc but I will give the wax/sealant and leather conditioner a try. .

Aaron sorry we couldn't meet up this weekend man I was killing it on Friday night 11-0 and didn't stop until like 6am haha I wasn't expecting a night like that and had really good intentions on coming through thanks for sending the stuff so quickly to and congrats on winning 2nd place for a good cause

Gizmo 04

I didn't know if that griots stuff worked , I'm going to pick some up today , I used the turtle wax "black box" and it did a pretty good job, it just took to long

Dear Jamie, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, justn.

11-0?!!? Was that a fighting record?!
Justin, your method of flirting is juvenile. But, as we get older, ironically, it will probably work!

obligatory paint care comment.

yeah i love their variety pack...i always get them at cost from my buddy who works across the street at a liquor store.

BFWD is awesome. that's what i use as well. i just put a layer on this past weekend.

Great cars man. Do it BIG! The TL is gonna look sick man. You gave me some ideas about getting my motor back up in tip-top shape, so thanks for that. I'm excited to see the results if the new lights and the drop kit. Let me know how that goes, I'm also considering dropping mine just and 1.5" or so. Take care, and make it happen!
