Did you get a tracking #? If so, what's it say?

nope.. iguees with internatiol orders they have to get one when they ship it. since its not automatic someone hasto go to the post office and ask for it.
I e-mailed brett asking him if he had one, he said he would have to check with the warehouse, perhaps find the guy who actully took the box to the post office. he said he would let me know as soon as it comes...
But there are 2 days left in the week... i have all day off well untill 6 so i should be home for most of the day, meaning i should be able to get it if it comes. If not i have friday. Im detailing so I might have to wait.... arg... oh well

Heh heh, sorry, couldn't resist

It's currently off getting the rusty-looking (but still perfectly good) EGR housing replaced because it made the otherwise immaculate engine compartment look insufferable to me. Heh heh, I don't mind paying a bundle for that but I make excuses about not buying Vintage

muscle car driver........me????

I'll have you to know my car is conservatively (un)derrated!!! I prefer the luxurious way around town, the finest wines, caviar (more like cavaliers lol!), and.......................I'll NEVER go without Vintaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhe...good buddy *heh heh*!!!!

I'd love to copy-and-paste that text into my sig.

Ya Supe I can get a steam goin' when sometimes I have to explain things to insensitive onlookers. J/K. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I want to stress that folks should not jump to conclusion just because the price and packaging may seem excessive. There is much more to this wax than what meets the eye (we both know that!), and saying its not worth a typical wax out of the *sour grapes* idiom will only make one miss out of a potential opportunity to discover a wider finish range that could be reached with a zymol!

But I think your narratives really put a point on vintaaaaggghhhe! Your thread(s) were awesome!

Thanks, man.

The next thread is gonna be a long one. It'll still be about two to three weeks before I get the pictures and the narrative put together, but it's gonna be titled, "my parrot ate my Charger." And it has to do with another recent topic in this thread: replacing car parts that still work perfectly, but have.... let's just say... "cosmetic issues", which is another way of saying "my parrot ate my charger".

eeuuggg.....don't I know about that. Like perfectly working catbacks, wheels......wax.......but all in the name of sound and aestetics (bad spell).

*Heh heh*: and hopefully soon we'll see the thread titled "Vintage finally takes down The Accumulator" mmmmlolllll!!!!!

DieselMDX · 09-26-07, 09:56

lol i think i will have it before him

lbls1 · 09-26-07, 10:00

Yup you too Diesel. You are more cooperative though (Accumulator jess wants to give me a hard time!). You'll like it!

SuperBee364 · 09-26-07, 10:09

Yeah, sometimes I think Accumulator doesn't get the Vintage just to be stubborn and/or torment us mercilessly. Diesel, OTOH, is like putty in our han....er... I mean, much more open-minded about such things....

DieselMDX · 09-26-07, 10:12

lmao altho that is true it sorta sounds bad :-)

for real i dont think i can wait any longer I am just holding out to see if i can get a sample from UK.

Ya...

Just tryin to think how all of this started for me. How did I ever get into the hole like this??? I used to hate zymol. I used to cringe when I would hear of their "$72 wax". I would say yeah, right, and then proceed with my next layer of meg's or mothers. Oh those were the days. Ok I remember now. I had a not so good stint with Zaino. I did badly with it, I took it off immediately, and went right back to my old megs. It was ok, but it made me thirst for more. I observed a lot, tried one or two other waxes, compared again, and then I said "why not try it since I hate it so much." You don't want to know how much I spent on wax alone b4 the Vintaaaaaaaghhhhe!

But.......the car really elevated beyond what I was expecting. I would do it over and over again! Learned quite a bit during the trial and error process too!
