GUess it depends on your unique situation.
Also I was just teasing, wasn't be serious >< I can respect you guys wanting to maintain beauty.

maintain beauty at minimal work is wat im getting at. can't really wash the car throughly if it's sub-freezing... and while we had a mild winter this season, usually it's sub-freezing most throughout winter. also my detail takes more than 16hrs so i dont want to be spending that kind of time on my car often. i dont have much free time to begin with.
also in the winter the pre-melted salt stones can penetrate the paint from kickup or even just driving past a salt-truck. ive had paint damage on past cars just driving around over fresh salt. no way around that and no way am i going to put my toy car through that. lol.

2. Went to set up appointment to get the windows tinted on the Z (35 sides 20 on back sounds good yes?)
3. drop off perscription
None of these errands got accomplish  Forgot the sack of pennies and perscriptions at the house, the bank had no record of the deposit and the window tinter went to lunch early and shop was closed.
But I did get to drive the Z around all morning so it was still a good day. |
i think you need to calculate your life better to make each day count.
