Washed the car outside today!

The Carrera got a bath outside today! First time in a month or more that I haven't been in the garage with the heat cranked up. It actually warmed up here in the Midwest. Got to nearly 60 degrees.

Couldn't pass up this early morning photo op. Gotta love those wide rear fenders of the Carrera S.

We've got to wait until tomorrow, only in the mid 40's today. Tomorrow in the mid 50's and low 60's for Monday. Wash both cars tomorrow and maybe even give my car its last coat of wax for 2002.

Corey, don't waste your Sunday inside! Get out and enjoy! BTW, I need to see that 530i of yours! It's one of my dream cars, especially in silver!

Brad, I love all the bimmers but your Carrera S has to be one of my favorites! 993s rule!

Corey, you better be out trying out that Klasse kit!

Brad..I envy you. Its only 40 degrees here today. I was able to go and wash my wife's 4Runner at a local car wash. Was only able to spray it down. No detailing is killing me....

It was around 60' both Saturday and Sunday here in Omaha. I washed and applied Meg's #3 Machine Glaze on Sat, and applied one layer of BF polish and one layer of BF sealant on Sunday.

Hard to believe that the shortest day of the year is less than a week away.

Cold weather washing

I'm the topic of conversation for my neighborhood this time of the year, as I'll keep washing the rides as long as water flows from the hose. It's amazing how warm you can stay with a bucket of hot soapy water when the air temp is in the 20's. I always make sure to drain the hose when I'm finished so it's ready for the next time even if it's below freezing.

Just finished washing the Rover as the sun was setting. The weather man says it's in the mid 40's, but the 20mph winds made it pretty darn chilly.

Missed it

Bummer.... missed a golden opportunity here in central PA..... Had to go to Washington for a funeral at Arlington National. Didn't get back until sunset.... getting cold again.

Oh well..... worth it I guess to give a great sendoff to a Lt. Commander.
