Haha i did get a couple honks while doing this
But then again they always see me cleaning cars at essentially ANY time of day/night so they`re probably used to it.
Re: Random thoughts thread
Overall i think my neighbors like me more ever since i stopped taking my 2am SRT cruises and waking them all up firing the car up (headers, dual exhaust and no cats on a 6.1)

haven`t looked at the truck in the sun (I am at work at 7am Saturdays) but I am pretty sure no hail came through afterall
now I have this idea of getting a car cover and sowing pockets or something into it so I can insert the cardboard boxes easier in case I ever need to do this again in a pinch
(overkill I know but I also work weather claims on a daily basis so I get reminders daily of what hail can do- and I don`t want my truck totaled out (its not worth a whole lot on paper)
Re: Random thoughts thread
so who else on a saturday night is in their garage jammin to music, drinking rum, and cleaning their tools? No? Just me?

Maybe make the pockets so they`d hold 1 inch foam sheets.

This is why I change my own oil...

This was on the Expedition. It couldn`t be serviced by me last time and that was the result. I started loosening it up and it got tight. Uh oh. Kept loosening and tightening till it came out. Luckily the Napa in town was open today.

Nizmo- Yikes, glad they didn`t [mess] up the oil pan!

One of the few vehicles with a steel oil pan, and I`m glad!

might be easier to get mover`s blankets and sew on some straps ... I doubt hail will do damage on those thick padded blankets

That`s actually a great idea for the guy that has everything. Steve, you should patent that idea. You can ask our resident Insurance Adjuster where the market is and target those folks.
