I remember the old car shows when nobody touched or even got close to the cars. I've been noticing lately that's not always the case now-a-days. For the most part most people know proper manners at a car show. Hate to have to put a car alarm on at a car show.

Took a couple of grand off that car's value in an instant.

I completely understand. I just love it when we get a rain shower then the sun comes out. It's like a steam room with all of the steam coming up off the pavement and rolling in the shop.

Yeah I get home after a long hot day and spend some time with the family and dry out. It takes alot of motivation to go out and do it again.

It's called dedication.
Got the lift to work and got it running.
