Mornin' all!

Nothing new to report car wise, it's running great!

It's actually getting kinda dirty, planning on washing it tomorrow and putting it away. Apparently we have quite the rainstorm heading our way.

There's a first time for everything...

Mine is filthy... Looks like someone spray painted the rear end with dirt colored spray paint! I think the storm hits us tomorrow, so no washing for me...

Isn't it awesome? *rolls eyes* The sad part is it is just from driving the car in the fog (it was real bad today)... All the road dirt getting kicked up... I haven't driven the car in the rain since before we moved into the new house!

There has got to be a way to move that low pressure area directly off the rear of the car. If someone could figure that out, they'd make a mint off Mustang owners.

Not looking forward to the storm that's coming... the rear tires are almost shot so traction is going to be crap. Not Fun

Thats the purpose of the rear spoiler....to make a high pressure area over the rear of the car and a low pressure area under and behind it.

Well it *could* be... Just not in traffic...


I have a quick question, on my driver's seat, there is a couple scratches on the seat back on the side (see pic) and I was wondering if something like that could be repaired/covered up?



And since I had to go out and take pics of other cars this morning, here's my filthy car...

Wouldn't a good leather conditioner help?

It does on the normal wear and tear type of 'cracks', but this is where I (or a tech) scratched the leather itself with like a key or something, effectively scraping off, what looks like the top layer of 'leather'...

I am going to try it, I just haven't yet...

I'd post something smart to help you out Jason, but I got nothing

Your car doesn't look that dirty wait til the rain hits.... we should all, except TacoBill & Jed of course, post pics of how dirty the cars got after the rainstorms

A friend sent this to me and it's funny and depressing at the same time since I think I have had at least 90% of these clients... I know some of you can relate:

Maybe some leather dye, but it has to be the exact color or else it'll stand out more than it does now.

Figures there is a technical reason for this. If I have more crap on the back of the car, does that mean the spoiler is actually doing something ??

I believe he had it installed for him at the same place I had mine installed. It was cheap, I think 110. out-the-door (or something close to that).
