I just washed and waxed the car, and drove around for a while with the sunroof open and windows down...

Warm weather is almost here

3 weekends from now will be my car's first major detail since November...

It will take about 6 hours...but the results.

I love 3-stepping the PT. Im tired, sore, and dirty afterwards but theres nothing like removing the last layer of caruba and seeing all those light scratches dissappear.

Off topic: I have a teeny dent from when a stray shopping cart migrated a couple dozen feet to my car that was parked out in bufu, egypt. Its right behind the taillight and Im considering taking the taillight off to get at it. What do I use on the inside? Rubber mallet?

Its not horrible, but everything I walk to my car I see it.

You do know that you drive a PT Cruiser, right?

And the sad part is I take better care of it than people with cars 3x more expensive.

Anyone can go to work and make a car payment. Get out there and get your hands dirty cleaning it more than once a month.

It's safer to strip down to your essentials and run through a field IMHO...








Ride safe...
