^^.. Bah!! It's either that or Coors Light for me! I haven't touched Keystone Light in a while... Still good beer to me.. It's still produced byt the Coors brewery..

I can't drink Bud light any more.. It KILLS me the next day.. I was TRASHED later that night.. I cleaned out the bottom row of my keystone 30Pak..

I'm not driving this thing for a WHILE!!!! I DON'T WANT TO FK this up!!!!!! Car is staying in the garage and getting a car duster once a day... Too much work for some rain or bird crap to mess up.. She's gonna be the true garage queen and stay parked on her carpet scraps..

The car looks great. Just got finished doing all the same steps to my girlfriends Jeep. The only thing that I did differently is that I used a wax that can be layered, where as the tech wax isn't made for several coats. But the NXT tech wax is very good for a single stage, and is what I use on my Camaro.
