For the life of me I don't know how the city managed the last 50+ years I've been alive when they never sprayed that $hit. That stuff is worse on your vehicle then the rock salt is. I don't even know why they sprayed it. It's 9 AM and it's 45 degrees. The snow would have never stuck around even if we did get a little. |

I'd go nuts just staring at it in the garage for 7 months of the year. Well at least May is only 3 weeks away.

I've lived in WI my entire life. I'm used to storing vehicles. I don't store mine for 7 months. Normally I can get to mid Dec before we get salt for the first time. I got my car out last week. So Mid Dec - April. (4.5 months) That's the reason I run all seasons, because I will drive my car in cold temps until they dump the salt. My Harley I normally put away by Nov 1st. (Too cold for me these days lol). Just pisses me off like yesterday when they dumped the salt brine for NO reason. If we get snow now it does not stick around. Temps are warm enough.

10 Super Car in, 10 (hopefully) 10-40 out. I say hopefully because I removed a Napa oil filter . At least I know what’s in it now. |

Buffed off SIO2 coating from the font bumper and front half of hood in preparation for precut PPF I bought last year. Found that the LT1 license plate bracket is not only held on by plastic fingers, but double sided tape. What the F%@&# ( One and half hours down…)
Finished up with a alcohol wipe down and trimmed the precut PPF to fit around the license plate bracket. Went to install the PPF and find out quickly it’s clearly a two man job to start the process (too long and flimsy). I fight with the bumper PPF for more than an hour and can see there’s no way I’m going to make it look “good”. It needs to be stretched and pulled while other areas look too long. Maybe it’s my skill level, or possibly a combination of crappy PPF precut design and my skill level. Don’t know.. I wave the white flag and rip the piece off the car. (Another 2 hours down) I figure, heck I have to get something done today… I might as well try the hood, that will be easy. I pull the precut piece out and realize it’s for a LT with no hood vent… Oh, man. I almost lost it. I end up pulling myself together and decide to pre trim the PPF to fit around the vent. All is looking good until separate the PPF from the film and notice this piece isn’t cut all that great. It needs a good 2 inches of stretching side to side to to make it work, as well the bottom is definitely cut a bit crooked. Again I fight and fight to try and make it work.. the more time I spend, the more frequently those little annoying black flies land in and around my work area. I’d flush them away with my soap solution, but to no avail.. even more came to piss me off. And so, this is where the meltdown came into play….off with the hood PPF. (2 more hours gone). I pull the hose out, rinse the hood and bumper, buff and reapply SIO2. Rock chips be dammed (1 hour including cleanup of everything else). I bring the car out for a beating, to let off some steam.. arrived home with the sweet smell of rubber wafting from my rear tires. Approximately 1hr and a coupe gallons of gas. Head in to start drinking… |

Mounted my old roav dash cam Saturday using the USB in the armrest. The wire is only visible by the passenger seat belt buckle and a couple inches at the base of the A pillar. I didn't want to hardwire because of the roav age. Not sure how much life it has.
