Do you guys not DRIVE your cars? What's with all the shininess? What's with the lack of oil? What's with the lack of dust?!?! Where's that LIVED-IN look?!?!?

This is how it's SUPPOSED to look (excuse the red valve-covers. Bubba put them in and I haven't had the extra $$ to replace them with the $200 set that I want)

*edit*
Sorry about that new-looking upper radiator hose. I'm kind of embarassed by that. It IS in fact NEW. Give me some time and it'll blend right in. :yesnod:

Make sure that you seal the engine well and then when you are tinkering in the garage, keep a rag handy for polishing things up . . . piece of cake . . .
