Not uncommon here either to see steel wheels in winter. I guess some people want snow tires with the cheapest option wheel. But yeah I couldn't live with that look.

The mileage isn't anything to write home about but there's a 100% chance you won't regret it...

NC1 is definitely on the list. I’m only willing to lease it, though. I love that car but don’t think it will be a keeper like my NA2 or the V wagon. If I can find a RS7 to test drive, that’ll change my mind about it. Lots of S7s around here though.

Congrats on the TLX. If the tranny gives you issues, refer to my thread in the TLX section about how to reset it in your own driveway. Worked for me and my tranny has been back in good shape for the last month.

Thanks Bob, will do. As my experience with the 16 was trouble free, I’m hopjng that the same goes with the 19. I will say that the 19 definitely feels smoother and a hair quicker (SOTP) than my 16. (I’m trying to get used to the restyled nose, which IMHO seems oversized for the TLX....unlike my 17 MDX, where it seems “right-sized”.).

Closest one I can find to Cleveland is Warren, MI which isn't really that close.

Washed the Vagon and the NSX yesterday. They looked great for about 30min till they were dirty again. The beauty and the curse of black.

I never would have thought of using boar hair to wash a car . If it works

There is debate about whether they scratch paint or not though but it is definitely better than using any other bristle type brush that is for sure. You are right though they are not cheap.

Review: Montana 10" Boars Hair Brush - Does It Scratch?


edit: I use Griot's Garage wash mitts for a while and have been very happy with them. This wash mitt pole might be something you could try instead of the boars hair brush for a lot less money.

Interesting. I might have to look into that further.

The green thing looks very similar to the mitt I currently use.

Ok I remember you telling me about it at Cars and Coffee just never realized Mystic Cobra was in reference to the color. Don't really know much about Mustangs

Yup, that's the one! On the "SN95" Cobras it was called Mystic. On the "New Edge" it was called Mystichrome b/c they used a different base... so slightly different color...

Having OCD and owning a blacked out car does not mix in the winter vortex. Had to bring the hose in the house to thaw...
