Auto wash, does that count?

 

I've got nothing against the touchless car washes but was told not to use them due to the car being to low?!? I was thinking that it was OK to use. I guess you just answered my question!

 

I have never taken Bettie through one, only hand washed. Probably can't believe 80% of what I say

 

Well when I take it out during the winter or to the beach I plan on running it through just to get the undercarriage rinsed.

 

Don't drive mine in the winter, she is already in the garage for the season, and there isn't a beach near here. That may change if I head back to Hawaii.

 

Don't know if I can keep her in all winter it might kill me. We've had some pretty decent winter days the last few years but as soon as I say this I'm now doomed!

 

Theres hardly any beaches you can actually drive on haha
I wouldnt trust a beauty like a Boss to sit in a parkin lot out here though. Plenty shades to worry about, not namibg any certain people. If you stayed here before youll know who im talking about

 

Yeah, there were some places I wouldn't leave my '05 too long over there. Love crusing around the island though and Mustang Madness is always fun!

 

Oh yea, nothing beats the views out here. Hvnt heard much about Madness but i see plenty military guys cruisin around in their domestics. Its great to see when everyday its just rice rice and more rice polluting the streets lol

 

Mustang Madness out at McKenna's every year, thin it's still going on.

 

When?

 

I think it was late spring or early summer, I'll have to see if I can fin out. Took 4th for DD with my '05 and the ex took 2nd the next year.

 

I'll ask your ex tonight when I decide to go to bed what place she got for sure.








j/k. I don't even want to deal with my ol' lady, let alone someone elses.

 

 

Used my California duster and have my baby clean. There's good weather for the next couple of days so hopefully I can get some more seat time!

 

This year it was in April, here is the link: http://www.alohamustang.com/Madness12/Madness12.html

 

Warning - you have to keep the California duster clean after use or it can swirl up the plastic on the tail lamp lenses. Mine *were* pristine until I noticed the other day in direct sunlight that there were ultra fine swirl marks all over the lenses.

I wonder if there's any kind of treatment that can be done to smooth out these ultra fine imperfections or if any attempt would only make it worse? I've already got a few nicks and scratches in the paint, so it's far from a 100pt show car, but I specifically was hoping to keep those cool LED tail lamps perfect if possible. Sigh.

 

Every 2013 owner should clear coat their taillights and rear decklid panel. Personally I would matte clear them to match the rest of the matte black on the car. This will keep them protected and easier to maintain!

 

After leaving my work I came up to a busy street that had a valet for a very nice restaurant. I was sitting in traffic for a couple minutes and I can see the valet guy, 18 or 19 years old, starting to look my way. He kept staring down the car and started pacing in his area. All the sudden you can sense he got the courage to start walking towards the car.
The smile he had on his face was big as the moon. "Man, this is a very nice mustang! I just love the black and white, it just pops!" I proceed to thank him and I appreciate the fellow mustang lover. I give him a 5500 blurb of the throttle and he really lights up. "Dude that thing snarles! That is the meanest mustang I have ever heard!"
The funniest part of this conversation was there seemed to be a 2-3 ft buffer around the car that he would not cross. I think he was afraid to breathe on it.
This was the best moment I have had in the car.

 

Not exactly something said, but I am starting to love the V6 faux gas cap emblem as I feel like it makes people think the car is a V6 with just a nasty exhaust. It always makes for fun trolling, especially at night.
