It was a lot more than just a wash clay and wax lol.



This stuff did most of the work.

If you want some really great results, I suggest you buy Meguiars M105 Ultra Cut Compound..its like 40 bucks but worth every buck. Last month, I spent 200 dollars just on solutions. I can tell you that the M105 is Meguiars most aggressive product.

The wheels will be gone very soon lol. I ordered a brand new set of wheels and tires the day I bought the car

all4degame

how much did that run you?

The car or the wheels?

Car was $0, traded my ATV that I haven't used in 4 years for it.
Wheels were $580 lol, cheap ___ 15" Motegi's with some all-season tires. I'm not too worried about the Motegi's breaking, I'll be running a 195/60R15 tire, so I'll have a TON of sidewall.

Wheels... damn, you paid more for the wheels than you did for the car! lmao.

BTW. What DLSR do you have? I was suppose to buy one this summer but as you know I blew my motor, so there when my funds.

man, i can't wait or my insurance rates to drop next year. i talked it over with nationwide about getting a beater daily driver on my policy, and basically, it is financially better to just rent a car when the tc needs several consecutive days of parts istallations...damn it all...

I was expecting my insurance to go up a little because I added another car on, but instead, it went down $500 every 6 months lol.

I have a D80 now, sold my D40. It's such a huge improvement over the D40, but if you don't know how to use an SLR, you'll be completely lost. The D40 is a decent camera, but it's mostly best for learning.

I'm planning on budgeting myself $1500 for this car. That includes parts, labor, repairs, etc. So far I'm at around $750, which is basically just the wheels and cleaning supplies. My old High School teacher works at a local NAPA store, so I can get all my parts 1/2 off, so I'll save a bunch of money doing the brakes and stuff. I figured with gas and insurance savings, the $1500 comes back to me in only 12-18 months. So as long as I don't go over the $1500 budget, and the car lasts 12-18+ months, I'll theoretically make money by owning/driving this car.

I was thinking about buy a XSi or Ti1 as a beginner camera. I'm going to start saving up again for it, I hope my car just doesn't break anymore. lol

Sounds like you got a plan with your car, you'd theoretically make money on the car only if you wake up every morning and its still in your driveway.. lol

huslindan

how many miles are on it ?

breaux_tC

shoot for the T1i
