    Everyone should read THIS!!! (detailing)

    So i have a few swirl marks in my 'black' paint of coarse..i went to walmart and bought some McGuires swirl remover just spending a few bucks to see if it worked...This stuff is the bested product i have ever used, not only did it completely wax my car effortlessly to a mirror finish but it deoxidized my roomates headlights with just a lil elbow grease(imagine with an electric buffer. Also i sanded my black tail lights and it waxed them back to a mirror finish after i took off a layer or two!! INCREDIBLE STUFF i recommend getting some and playing with it..let me know what yal think!

    Make sure you use some wax after. That just buffed out the scratches. It didnt protect anything.

    Don't be fooled, my friend....most of that is actually sleet pellets and ice underneath....much more slippery than snow....that's why the car is buried. No way I can even get it out the driveway...

    We're cool...it's the wife's truck, and the other reason I didn't go to work today...that pathetic excuse for a 'truck' couldn't even get off the side streets.

    And it may be colder up there, and snow a shitstorm, but it's almost all ICE down here...it sprinkled rain on the road for about 20 minutes...and almost instantly became a giant sheet of ice on the bridges and under overpasses...within the next couple hours the whole roads were ice, and there were more wrecks in Tulsa than the PD and FD could handle....stupid rednecks think their 4x4's can get traction on a GIANT SHEET OF F#%KING ICE.... you might be able to GO quicker, but how the F#%K do you expect to stop??? Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now...almost got hit by a retard going over a bridge on the way home yesterday, so I'm still a little pissed about it

    You guys dont get much snow down there do you? I know this year has been pretty fkt up weather, my brother said that Nashville is almost all closed down because of snow.... I wish MI was the same way! lol

    It's bad even up here with the hillbillies.... Some of them drive rear wheel drive trucks (not 4x4's) and think that a sheet of ice is the qualifying lap for Talladega. Oh well, we all gotta deal with em right?!?

    Not much snow, but we've been getting some pretty crazy ice storms these last few years, crushed the power grid, and killed a LOT of trees...people are still cleaning up from last year's mess..

    Yeah, I guess they're everywhere....thankfully I was in the truck yesterday, driving slow, not following too closely, guy in front of me spins out a couple times, ends up in the center median ditch, then somehow goes backwards across the road (right in front of me) off the shoulder into that ditch...I think the moron put it in reverse or something in mid-spin?? I stopped to make sure he was ok, held my tongue..

    Now that was a responsible fatherly thing to do! lol I have definitely seen my fare share of crazy shit up here. The funniest thing when I stop at an accident to make sure everyone is ok, I hand out my business card for my dealership and tell them we have a full service body shop! hahaha I'm the devil!

    I really felt that way too... Have you ever seen that Robin Williams movie, Cadillac Man? I felt just like Robin Williams when he gave his business card to the freshly widowed woman at her husbands funeral. Oh well, in these times, even if the business isn't going directly to me, but to our shop, I will be Slick McGuvna!
