I spent 3 hours cleaning/waxing the SUV so I decided to take some pictures.

Here’s what I used:

Meguiars Claybar Kit  
Meguiar’s M2116 Professional Synthetic Sealant  
Collinite 845 Liquid Insulator Wax

Poorboy’s Trim Restore for trim  
7:1 Woolite/Water solution for interior  
303 Aerospace Protectant for interior  
Stoners Invisible Glass for glass

Folex for carpet

You can’t talk. Your car is 0-1 with an arrest. 🙂

Thanks. I’ll get a toy after the wedding. At 260HP, this has just enough to be a little fun.

Also, the more I see the white, the more I like it.

And, 303 is fantastic. I really like the products I use. I need to educate myself more though.

Depends how expensive the house. Wife agreed to Z06, M series, or an AMG. My dream of a F430 seems to be just a dream unless Westchester lowers the taxes… The new BMW X5 M series is tempting too. I am not 100% yet.

I would love another 3/S but even the 99s are over 10 years old.

Nissan tranny can’t cost much more than the AMG trannies… hehe.  
M series you can’t get a manual if you are looking at anything bigger than the 3 series too right?

I’d get the new X5 M series. I really like SUVs.

They fixed the problem, jerk. And it was only because owners were fucking with them and trying to get better 60’ times.

Edit:  
Why don’t you look into a Charger SRT-8? They’re not too common and it doesn’t take much to make them an absolute beast. My father had one a few years back, basic bolt-ons and it was insane.

They don’t back their warranty period. The fact that they fixed the tranny issue doesn’t fix the real underlying problem. So, Nissan builds a supercar with this launch feature but you can’t use it!? :lol

I would never buy a Dodge even if it was 50% off.
