Let's pray I don't get lost on my way there since I am coming from Racine, WI. All the directions I get say to take I94 but I'm shooting down 41. I kind of got an idea but I'm still "natural lost" person.

The only problem taking 41 is; there are alot of stoplights so there's going to be brake dust on the fenders 
Owning silver car...it's going to be a pain to wipe it down.
Today I got to do my "Mello Time" since it was beautiful day here. So my beast is quite clean on the outside...I bought some new type of wax and tested it out. Turtle Wax Ice; you guys should try it. They recommend to wax black trim and plastic parts too. I even place some of it onto my headlights and taillights; gave it good shine.
I spent 3 hours total; would of spent more time washing but I had the car wash attendant standing outside my stall and was watching me. He was old man just standing there wondering if my tC was Toyota or something else. It was just odd cause I never have anyone stand that close to me while I was washing my car.
Let's pray the car doesn't become bird crap target tomorrow morning

Least you put some effort into it. Reason why I was able to detail mine cause Fridays are my Saturdays so I was able to spend the 3 hours on my day off. Today when I got some gas; I saw I had tiny wax that I didn't see it yesterday so I rubbed it out with my shirt...some guy saw me do it and started laughing. Then he told me "You just bought that right?" I told him back "No, I actually had it for the past six months." That made me feel like 100 bucks cause I'm showing the world I'm responsible enough to keep a car at showroom quality shape. :D

Thank you everyone for the great support and the great turnout. It was great to meet new people and to see some familiar faces that i haven't seen in a long time. Thank you also to Kevin and Grossinger Scion for hosting this event and putting so much time, hard work, and money out to make this show such a great success. Can't wait to see you all next weekend!
