silkdagger05 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 So This week end was finally nice weather. So I went and bought a bunch of things for my car. and set too work on her. making her nicer and cleaner. when I was done, I sat down on the porch and looked her over thinking about much I just like my car. I noticed my friends only talk about how much there car $$ or how fast it is. Hardly do any of them just enjoy the car. Treat it well. It's something I like about my car. Even tho its older and can be a pain when it feels like it .I still enjoy seeing it clean and running well.( she started right up for me. (^^) Any one else take advantage of the weather to enjoy their car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkdagger05 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) i did the same i went out to the garage polished the wheels up and was going to start it and let her run for a little while but my fuel pump is bad lol I only found one new problem. ^^ and I was shocked as the car has bin covered all winter. a spot of surface rust the size of a dime. o.O so i am calling a pain place today to find out how to remove it before it hurts the car. I dont even know how it got there. Edited February 2, 2009 by silkdagger05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wish somebody would come and clean mine up. I'd get a great feeling from that. :biggrinumbrella1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) I love the feeling of mine nice and clean. Seriously, when I get to cleaning it, you can't touch my car without sliding or slipping. Same applies to the interior, leather conditioner and armor all from top to bottom. Or like the photo in my sig, man did I ever feel good having a shiny muffler. Edited February 2, 2009 by Fanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta is a long-distance worry. I'd have you stuffed and mounted on a mahogany placard if you painted it anything besides Valencia Gold. This is inspiring me to fix the G54B in my Starion and go for a drive with ya, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor is mine. Seriously, I was at a DIY carwash and brought the pressure washer a bit close to my hood... and screamed ( literally, SCREAMED ) when I realized it was taking the paint off of my hood. The roof of my car has what I call age spots. Old man spots, where the clearcoat has faded in some areas. My header panel has specks of rust, my front bumper shows where it used to have a front license plate frame up north There are little dings here and there on the car, but no matter what, the car is still my pride and joy. I think the only other Starion that's in worse condition than mine is pure_insanity's :scared0016: but that thing is a beater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I cleaned mine up the other day...went out, drove it around and took some pictures. Happier than ever, car ran beautifully. The next morning I go outside to find it had rained overnight, waterspots galore and, when I clean it, I find more imperfections, and that just ticks me off...lol oh well. and the rust I knocked out and welded shut when I painted is starting to bubble again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
