    Got up this morning and gave my Charger some loving.....
    Started off by changing my thermostat, it's been sticking shut lately. So I replaced it with a new 180* Stant. I emptied my catchcan. And did a real nice wipedown of the engine bay with some Meguiar's Ultimate Detailer and a mircrofiber. I then took off all the wheels and hand washed them, followed by a blow dry and more Meguiar's and microfiber. Cleaned out my fender wells with a nice wipedown while I had the wheels off, along with cleaning my calipers. And then finished off the whole car with a nice coat of Mequiar's Ultimate Detailer also. My bitch is clean as a whistle sittin in the garage with the Battery tender keeping her charged. I just love it when she's all glossy and shiny. She's ready for a show, too bad I don't have one to go to, lol. Just thought I'd share........

    Wow, I would say that is a nice accomplishment! Wish I could go out and mess with mine, however I did go to the fleamarket today and bought a California Duster, brand new...... for $2 ~ Nice deal, I'd say!!! Love the FLEAMARKETS... you never know what you may find!

    Good snag buddy!!
    Man, I'm telling ya. When you finish it off with that Meguiar's Ultimate Detailer and a microfiber, it puts a shine on it you won't believe. If you have some daylight left, get off your ass and go do it! Won't take but 30 minutes......

    LMAO!! Good deal mang. And it's cold here, too! I think it was even 40* in my garage, lol. A t-shirt, a hoodie, and a jacket thought, and I was good!!! I've been working my ass off lately, I was even surprised by how motivated I was today. It was my first off day in awhile, but I got her done!!!! Now for a nice dinner out and some dark beer with the wifey......who knows what may happen when I get home......:D

    Wow...

    Sunday's my day off. So my big accomplishments are getting dressed and doing some homework. Did all the laundry yesterday and starting another round of dance classes with Madeline tomorrow. Maybe sometime this week get out and get the car washed. :doh:

    It's tough...but I'd rather do that than get it full of salt...or hit by some dumbass on the slick roads.

    Besides, we still drive Hemi's in the winter. :)
