Say Hi to Ronda

I detailed this beauty today. 2002 Panoz Esperante, This car is all hand made. 4.6 32 value V8 350 HP. If you look at the two silver plates on the lower part of the engine, all 60 of the people involved in the production of this car have their name engraved on it, also, they name every car they make, so say hi to Ronda.

Dean, that`s what I was driving when you called me. I actually drove it to my shop, then the weather took a BAD turn and started snowing, so she is spending the night with me. They will pick it up by trailer in the morning. I will still be able to kiss here goodbye tomorrow. we got somewhat emotionally attached today. I spent almost 2 hours just on the wheels, still not happy with how they turned out. that what happens when you leave a car like this out for 18 months. Miss the Benz? well, lets just say it was time for us to part. I won;t forget how much you helped me. I promise you that my friend. Regards, talk to you MOnday, Gary
