Default Killin' Time

Nice day today. Had some time to kill waiting to go to my Grandson's LAX match, so I decided to add another coat of Zaino. Ah - the shine, the smooth finish. I love my Vette!

Nice. Weather here is about to suck. Large bands of rain, t-storms, possibly some hail and high winds on the way. Hopefully my car will be in the garage soon after I leave the office. It's great having body panels that resist dents but that doesn't leave much for the nice big windshield and rear window.

Yeah I'm up here in Plano right now and I guess about the time I leave for downtown I'll be caught in the middle of it. Wouldn't be the first storm I got caught in. Around New Years I was driving south on I-35W when a hailstorm hit. Luckily I made it to the nearest bridge and waited it out underneath. Gotta love North Texas spring weather, not! I feel bad for the folks in Lubbock who got hit with that twister.

DAMN! I've been using the Mequires claybar followed by the NXT wax but I might have to jump on the Zaino bandwagon!

Yea we are just about to get it here.

Went to college in Lubbock and grew up in Midland. Had enough of our wonderful spring weather.

I to have rode out storms under bridges. 2 yrs ago a police car pulled in next to me to avoid the hail. In just a couple of min. the strong wind picked up his car and bumped it into mine(my truck not the vette thank God).
