Heyo I`m Chris, I`m 21 young I know. Well anyways a little about me. I`ve had beaters for the past 5 years or so, I don`t think any of them saw wax or a polish. Well things have fallen in line and I picked up a Subaru Impreza about a month ago.

It started with a bottle of dish soap as my car wash. Turns out it does a lot of damage if not done right. Bought one thing here then another. Ran out of room and needed organization, went to the hardware store, they had a flimsy aluminum wheeled cart that bent as I touched it. So I built a wheeled cart. This thing will survive a tornado.

Chris--Welcome!



You look like you are on the right track. There are plenty of people here who can answer whatever questions you have. I like the blue on your Subie.



And, I love the cart! It looks like it would withstand nuclear attack!!!

Thank you, I love this color of the blue as well. My apartment complex was throwing out some used lumber 2x4`s and 3/4" plywood. A bit overkill but at 100% free I`m not complaining. I have my first powered equipment on order a PC 7424. There are some bird droppings and scratches that a clay-bar could not get out. So hopefully that will.

Ehh I put 100 bucks a paycheck aside for misc fun. Usually it gets spent at the bar, but now that everyone is at school its not an issue for a while.
