It's no wonder you guys up north have so few miles on your cars. Y'all only get to drive them 3 months out of the year. It seems like just yesterday y'all were talking about getting them out of hibernation, now they're going back in. That'd be like getting a new car every year. Of course I don't blame y'all, I wouldn't live in the cold but if I did, my baby wouldn't be out in the muck either.

How often do y'all usually clay bar? I'm still hesitant, afraid I'm going to screw it up.

yours dosent ride in the winter either? i think its worth it. winter is harsh on a car. especially a black one that looks as beutiful as urs. i love the red stripe above the rockers.
normaly it sees the winter but this is my freshmen year at college and we are not allowed to have a car at campus as a freshmen. so to storage it goes

yeah the trunks are huge!!!!! but i got another question. have you guys wiht the 2000 body style ever thought of taking the body side mouldings off? i think it would look so much better-like just clean. but if you were to do it check inside the door to see if they have clips or alighnment pins holding them in to the door

i think there was somebody that did that a while back, cant remember who but i was not a big fan of it. To me it made the doors look to tall. Also the side moulding is just held on there by an adhesive i am pretty sure.
