Yes, with the recent purchase of my black and beautiful '99 T/A I can finally feel like I belong in this forum. After having this thing for just a coupla' weeks I can't believe that I've been missing all of this LS-1 goodness for so long.









I also own a '97 Z28 'Vert, '98 Mustang GT and a '69 Charger R/T. I'm crazy about cars, especially mine, but this 'T/A just floors me in ways I can't even describe. The car is bone stock, except for the MTI lid, with only 64K on the 'odo. A4, 3.23, hell I even found the window sticker. It's good to be here...

Tell me about it. I can't even car-dust this thing, as it just smears all over the paint and removes the gloss. I might have to invest in a cover...

Since it's black, make SURE you don't touch that paint with anything BUT Microfiber. Also, don't use any type of duster on it, those will scratch also.

I take it that car dusters are just bad for any paint, right? In that case, how do I go about cleaning the car on a daily basis? Also, when you refer to using micro-fiber towels do you mean during car drying, quick detailing, etc?
