Washed, clay bar, polish and wax. Also pulled the vinyl roof today - back to all white… at least for now.

Thanks to Joe the bad influence, I actually went down to Harbor Freight to see what they had for "detailing creepers". They had a very stout example there for $69.99. It exceeded my expectations. It's a nice rig. With two extra detachable container bins and a nice supple rubber seat for my old rearhind.

You are right… Joe is a bad influence

Just did a quick wash and detail. We just got back from a 1600 mile road trip to NC and hit some rain and a lot of road construction sites so the car was in need of some love ASAP. It's chilly and very windy but could not wait.

SWEET!! I actually like that one a little better than the Adams. The cupholders are deeper. I am pretty sure they all come from the same place with different variations. I actually have the Grants from Costco.

Any of these will do the trick:

The good thing is now when I get questioned about my impulse purchases, I blame Joe from the forum. She's gonna come looking for you when the 911 is in the garage. Joe's going to wake up one night to a bunch of wives and girlfriends on his front lawn with pitch forks and torches.

I'll blame you for my 911 and you blame me, deal? Then we can just get the ladies together with a bottle of wine and they can talk about us!

Of course its on sale now….because I already bought mine. Whenever I buy into a stock, be sure to sell yours quickly or if I sell a stock thats the time to load up. Thats just the way my luck goes! Lol. It's well worth the price even at $70….nice solid piece and the caster wheels are quality.

Yeah, I couldn't resist the price so I picked one up, lol! More crap in my garage. Maybe I'll keep one on each side of the car so I don't have to roll around to the other side ha ha.

You may be able to take your receipt for the $12 credit. Probably not worth the trip. I know I wouldn't make the trip for $12 bucks, especially given the gas prices, you'll probably break even.

I'm thinking about it. The gas prices don't bother me as much as I would probably get a ding in the parking lot while trying to get me 12 bucks back

Haha! I think I did - got a handful of compliments. There were some properly gorgeous cars there however. I was on the cheap end of the spectrum ha!

I won't argue that. The Bentley has a face only a mother can love. I heard it before I saw it!

There were a ton of gorgeous 80s P Cars there.
