The cleaning wasn't fun lol but it was worth it in my book.. we tried to put a flag on top and shut it in the doors but noone had one that wasn't on a pole and i bet if i would let them do it Ground Zero would take a collection up and pay to have that flag painted on there lol

Just in case it makes anyone feel better I had a nice big pinch of Copenhagen in my mouth when I went out there.

Me too, I'm too paranoid about scratching it to hell to do anything like that, but, I figure after doing that, he'd not give a crap about the paint and just drive it.

Like a guy once told me.

First thing I do when I buy a new guitar is set it in the bed of my truck. Then I find a big rock, and toss it over my shoulder into the bed of said truck.

1 of 3 things happen

1) I'm over it being "new" as I damn near killed it anyway.
2) It gets dented and now I can play it without worry
3) It gets destroyed...therefore it was never meant to be.


Part of that advice was, never get a guitar you're not willing to get dinged up.



Well, sub "guitar" with "370z" and there ya go.

On Kannibul's point..

One of the guys in the office had a good story.. a good friend of his dad had a farm, and would end up replacing his truck every 10 years or so.. it's a farm truck, meant to be used, and of course a brand new truck looked too good to be "used" the way it should be..

His solution? Day 1 when he brought it home, he threw a shovel at it.. wasn't a perfect shiny truck, and it's days of being a farm truck began..

Yeah, in contrast, I've got 2K miles on my Z and it's 5.5 months old. I keep it in the garage to keep it clean and poo-free, and I haven't driven it to/from work but just a couple of times. I'll drive it to a friends house, but his stories of cars getting broken into, stolen and damaged, now has me re-thinking that idea...lol

It's a white elephant, in a sense.

Why would that matter?

This place is hardly a carfax...and stuff like that doesn't show up on carfax anyway.
