With my grandfather getting old and thinking of moving he decided to buy a 2nd car to go along with his LS. He bought a 2004 White Siera SLE. Came visited us to get a few things done. We had the bed sprayed with LineX and my and my friend put on some Westin Nerf Bars and then a bug guard. Being new it didnt need to much claying, but some spot did from the trip up from Houston. Also decided to try one of my old waxes and the first one I bought after join Autopia, S100. I forgot how easy this wax was easy on easy off.

Car looks great!
Cripes. That`s a posh neighbourhood. :) I expect it`s not the done thing around there to drive a dirty car. ;)

I would do anything to bring my grandparents back so I could detail their Caddy`s.
Makes you feel great doing something special for them,right Beason? Oh Ya... looks great too :)
And just out of curiosity, How much does a beautiful house like that cost in Louisana on the average ??

Ours cost about $750 when we built it in 92. The red one next to us was built 3 years ago and has a smaller floor plan and it was about $1 mil. And its in Shreveport so thats Northwest LA.

Guess buying it a week before he turned 75 was a display of his youthfullness.
Ok i have to ask, if your grandpa is only 75 and you bought a 750k house 3 years ago either you have really young parents or you are doing really well for yourself at a really young age

The house was bought in 1992, not 2002. 13 years old > 3 years old :)
