Sounds like what I did after making it with my ex-wife.

I REALLY like pizza. How is the pie in your neck of the woods? They suck here in PA. I visited my buddy in Nutley, NJ and the pie was excellent. Nice thin crust that I wanted to devour myself.

We have a couple a good pie places here in Beverly Hills but when I get home I throw it on the barbecue grill over a piece of aluminum foil and it really crisps the bottom up and makes it like it used to be when they cooked it on bricks

We have two pizza shops here in the nearest town; one is actually decent, other one sucks.

You like thin crust? Figures.

You probably enjoy a crappy Dominos pizza. I know where your taste is.

You guys are too protective...

I turn the engine off, leave the car in the driveway and go in my house...

I'll wash it every now and then, but i'm not going to wipe it every day that's lunacy.

The good pizza shop here is a one-off family run place; the lousy one is a local (regional?) chain, "Mark's."

I’m interested because when I get mine home, it has road film on the rear end and would like to know what’s the best or most popular thing to do at that point.
Thanks,

After the paint cools off from the sun, I use a Calif duster to wipe it down. (Assuming I wasn't caught in a rain storm)

Heck, that's about my normal routine when prep'ing one of my vintage cars for a show. I just park the Vette in the garage when I get it home unless there has been some reason to do more, like having driven through a flock of cabbage moths encountered at 70mph.

I have a few really good places by me in central Jersey, but the better ones are up north. They say it is all in the water, it might be. Bagels are better up north as well.

Not true. When I lived in West Milford, the pizza was so, so.

I put mine up on the race ramps to change the oil the other day, nah, pulled it off due to change of heart. The older I get, the lazier I get.

If you really want a good pie you have to go to Brooklyn. I hate the city with a passion, but sometimes I just have to go in for a slice or ten.
