Ditto.
Also, check out the "San Diego Area Cruise" in this forum or western as well. It is going to be my buddy's "welcome back from Iraq cruise".

^^^^^ +1 to that. I spent 9 weeks there, left almost every weekend, and I still hated it. Did not help that it was in the middle of summer and I had been living in San Diego for a year. Argh. Might not have minded if they had shipped me there straight from Iraq.

If you park your car at 29, do NOT use a car cover. The sand will get under it, the wind will blow, and it will work like sand paper on your paint. No car cover, and 95% will just glance off, causing no damage. Treat your door and ttop sealant, and your dash. That way the sun does not cook it too bad. Even if you have one of those windown sun deflectors, still put UV **** on your dash. Make sure you check your tire pressure and all pressure for that matter. You are in high desert, and a lot of things can happen to your car that you have never delt with before.

Dude, dont use the covers out here. if you want visual proof i'll show you, they actually do heat up enough to bubble the tail light. I VHT'd a 2nd set of tails and will be putting them on soon. VHT is your friend.
