Default Today Was A Good Day

today was one of those days that just put a smile on my face....i was on my way to take my car to a chevy dealership to get my oil changed....finally getting royal purple in her before i tuck her away for the winter....well since i only have a few more days of driving her i had the cutout (located on the DP)wide open makin a little noise....i pulled into the parking lot and 4 dealers walk out to greet me....first one ask, "that isnt a 3800 is it?" i laugh and said does it sound like it......they all start walking around my car checking it out and asking me questions about the engine, what i had all done to it, and how i got it to sound so good....one guy made the comment that it sounded like there was a race car coming down the road.....one also commented on how good the paint looked....in my eyes the car looked like **** because i had to drive it through the rain the day before and i explained what i all do to make it so shiny.....paid for the oil change and pulled her out of the bay and the same 4 dealers were standing outside watching me leave so i gave them a little show lol....made me feel pretty damn good to finally get some appreciation for my car and everything i have done to it....that is all

Hey dp I need to wax my car and it's kind of cold outside. If I do it in my unheated garage think it would be warm enough maybe 50 or so inside it? Then let it sit up for a couple hours? Let me know what you think. Thanks jeff

kinda depends on what kind of product you will be using but if its in the 50's in the garage you should be good....just make sure it hazes over before you take it off....i have to do my wash, clay and wax before i tuck her away tomorrow but ill have my heater on in my garage

Wow, you took your GM vehicle to a GM dealership and the sales people didn't know what I had for an engine. Makes me wander if the techs knew either?
