"If you are looking for gift ideas, I can use Quick Shine and the soap you use to wash a car using one gallon of water."
He will be 68 in less than a week and still takes care of his and my Mom's cars.  | |

Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: IL Posts: 587 | Reminds me of an elderly lady I saw for 2 days in a row 'detailing' her car. She seemed somewhat frail and had to be close to 80. She was wiping down the hinges of her trunk! I almost wanted to drop off some QD and a bottle of wax 
She was either a true Autopian, a little OCD, or really bored...or all of the above LOL..but that could apply to alot of us HAHAHA | |

Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Overland Park Kansas Posts: 926 | Great thread Scott! I'm 62, work Mon-Fri in one job and detail 1-2 BMW's per weekend for a reseller, plus keep my 2 family vehicles in shape.
I'm also diabetic and the doc likes the idea of me keeping active. He doesn't want to see me as a couch potato as that has bad health effects.

how in the world can one possibly post over 18,000 times?
That's 5 posts per day, every day, for 10 years.
Sorry, my bad, hijack over. | |
