    Daughter's new car

    As I posted earlier -- I had been looking for a car for my daughter. A couple of weeks ago, she picked up a really nice 2005 Mazda 3. Bright Red Metallic. As you can imagine, she is psyched -- what young woman wouldn't like a sporty, cool looking bright red car?!

    Anyway, as a special "Congrats on your 1st car gift", I secretly brought it over to Jimmy to do a nice detail on it. It was in pretty good shape, but obviously hadn't seen any wax in a long time. It was an amazing result -- not only did the metallic pop out (it was very subtle before) the color changed dramatically -- going from an almost tomatoey red, to a bright racing red.

    I'm sure Jimmy has some pics as well, but here are a couple of before and after pic -- one right after she got the car, and one the day we picked it up from Jimmy.

    Looking where it's parked, good luck keeping sap and pine needles off/out of it. Looks nice.

    That's the story of all my cars, and why the Cobra is parked in the Quonset hut, and the GT is on the other side of the yard.
