Lol.... not sure of my secret to success on cleanliness on a dirt road but I do know going to slow actually makes it worse and to fast is not good neither. Try this f11 topcoat and you will find it much easier to keep clean.

Well we got the windows tinted on Tuesday and just love the new look. Also this f11 is da bomb this car was filthy today from our dirt road and it had some hard spots possibly tree sap but not sure, they were all over it and I was freaking out. Low and behold they rinsed off with a garden hose.

I need to use that stuff on my daily and wife’s ride. Rinse and go sounds good to me. The tint looks good. I plan to tint the windows in my trucks. Not too dark but enough.

I am sold on it, the tint is legal limit 35%

**GR8-68** · 11-28-2017, 06:08 PM

Well I can't leave anything alone

I couldn't stand the prius exhaust they put on these cars. Muffler deletes by Doug Thorley will be here Thursday and have found a beautiful set of black gm 45th anniversary Camaro wheels that I put on it Friday.

Thanks papa, it should talk for the price

but it will if you press the onstar button

Have not named it yet, any suggestions ? I thought Eleanor but it is not a Mustang

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-30-2017, 01:01 AM

Those wheels sure finish the look in my opinion. I like it!

Still running the roads in the SS, the end of February I ran the parkway and captured this shot along the way. Then one of it all cleaned up for date night before the snow came again in North Carolina

LOL

Some reason the rear tires just do not last long on here, I am ready for a new set, not real fond of the Pirelli P-Zero... not sure about Carlisle this year as far as vending but may ride up just to walk and visit the guys.

**robs71** · 03-28-2018, 07:34 AM

Just a thought.....might be a right foot issue and not a tire issue

harpo231 · 03-28-2018, 02:45 PM

The phone lady talks in my 2012.....
