Would you like to swap cars?

Anyway, that looks awsome, how long did it take you to do that?

Unfortunetly I can't go crazy and shine up my car till I have it cut and polished by a pro, as it's beyond anything maguires can offer

Yes! That would define you as a complete freak.

..A freak with an AWESOME looking ride.

Manya, I had a professional "cut" the paint for me back in july, and again in January (though, that last one, was more just like a wax and polish job only). After that, you can do it yourself

you know, when I saw your ride back in the days, I told myself "This is it! I want my car to be like this!"

How much time and $$ do you spend a month, keeping it so extremely clean and shiny?

Beautiful car and great detailing job.

I'm sorry but you don't win the "Freak" award. My brother won that one several years ago and has not been since surpassed to lose the honor.

My Dad and I are the real car freaks in the family with constantly scabbed knuckles. My brother does very little work on cars. He doesn't need to, he has us.

In the mid eighties, he bought a beautiful new BMW M3. My Dad called me soon after to tell me that Ken wants a floor jack and jack stands for his birthday. After dropping my jaw and then composing myself to ask the question "what does he want a floor jack and jack stands for?", my Dad said that it was so he could scrub and wax his M3 UNDERNEATH.

So you see, until you are ready to take your excellent detailing skills underneath the car, the "Freak" award remains in the hands of my brother.

Have a great day,

Oh yeah, I'm puking alright!

At MY car!!!

Gotta ways to go before it gets to the caliber of yours!

Nice effort! If I didn't already know it, I wouldn't think that was a W124!
