It's terrible a car like that would pitch up in that condition... Lord how I'd like you guys to go over my truck, too bad you're too far away.

Always enjoy these posts!

BTW: Any idea when you're going to get more 1Z Cockpit Premium (the smaller spray container) back in stock? Want to place an order, but am waiting on this product.

cars are meant to be driven, get them dirty and make good use of them. wash and detail them regularly though. ^
