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.

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)

great idea

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)

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.

sorry my friend, apparently it`s just you slowly grab the rum and leave the garage
