Enjoy it while it lasts …
Yup, it’s been a pretty busy day and some one-on-one time with my car was definitely needed - I am a guy after all. Anyway, the car got a full scale cleaning inside and out. Interior: windows, vacuum, low gloss Armor-All, leather conditioner. Exterior: pre-wash, wash, Rain-X, dry, wax, post-wax soak, dry, tire shine. Total time: 4+ hours. Excessive I know. Why all the work? First of all, it was long over due. Second, I wanted to get some pics in before I had to take the tint off the front windows - damned RCMP. Either way, the car looks better than the day I picked it up and it’ll likely never be this way again =( Stay tuned for the tint removal adventure - I’ll likely be trying to remove it myself this weekend. I hope all goes well - keep your fingers crossed for me.
Anyway, after the hard work, I got a couple games of v-ball in at UVic. The knees are messed as usual. What can you do? I wish they would just heal and put me out of my misery.
Later on in the evening, I had nothing really to do so I decided to venture into unfamiliar territory. A buddy of mine had organized a car meet at Timmie’s and I thought I might check it out. For the most part, while kinda cool, it wasn’t my cup of tea as expected - but each to its own as long as you’re doing what you enjoy. A whole lot of guys showing off their cars and drooling over the mods that they made. The green and white CRX I saw with hydrolics warranted the thought, "Why?" After that, a motorcade of RSX’s and Integra’s made their way through the downtown core to Clover Point … talk about causing a traffic jam! The guys did 40 km/h all the way down checking out each other’s cars. For all the girls that sat through the entire meet, you are truly amazing women! Kudos to you! Anyway, an eventful day indeed …
Update: The tint removal went pretty smoothly and without too much of a hitch. After unbolting the door panels, and steaming the tint, it pulled off relatively easy. The only thing that was a minor nusance was the residual glue that was left over; luckily there wasn’t much of it.
