Waste of your time creating a thread and my time reading it? I think so.

What more is a little mud? Wash it off. Not that big of a difference.

Looks like you did, so, cool ******* story...

Driveway? I see field.

Damn newbies...

Nice car. I see that not only is it clean now but you fixed the exhaust and the infamous front fender poking out.

Any plans for it?

Tough crowd. I just thought I'd share the difference in the day I bought it compared to how it looks now. Maybe the pictures don't do it justice, but it looks brand new compared to then. It's been washed, waxed, etc. And now it receives a weekly washing.

Bottom line is I shared my pride and joy and how she's kept versus how she was kept. And BTW, the other cars on the car lot were in front on the building, not on the side like mine was. It's a very small lot and almost never gets anything decent.
