Default Apology

To anyone who might see my car today, I must apologize for it's appearance. I did a little work on the fenders last night with the polisher and by the time I was finished, it was too dark to see if I had buffed out all the wax.

So, if you happened to see me on the way to work (like the guy in the lowered black T/A with 11" rear tires and Borla tips, dowtown Houston, around 7:30AM), I'd like it to go on record that I don't usually have unbuffed wax spots on my car.

(Nice car, by the way!)


-Mike

That was me. I figured you'd see this, since you had an LS1tech sticker in the window. Love those rear tires, man! Car looks mean as hell! I thought about parking near you and shootin' the **** for a while, but I had to get to work and I had about 3 dozen donuts in the car that needed to be delivered to my officemates.

Consider this thread an online version of the F-Body wave.
