Default El Paso, Texas

We stop at Costco in El Paso for gas, grab a chicken bake (horridO) and come back to the car.


Nina turns to me and says "Is there a Dentist's convention in town?"
Oh behave!

WestTexas was under flashing Yellow wind storm warnings, we were lucky they did not advance it to full stop and wait. We have gone through three wind storms, two blew sand, one blew a LOT of tumbleweeds

We pass through Tucson hitting 41 degrees F. This is the low temp of the whole trip and we are on our way home to Scottsdale but make time for a Beto's burrito (there is always time for Betos!)

Tracwrap on, Tracwrap OFF!
That ugly, dirty ball on the floor is the expended Tracwrap, no paint harmed in the removal, it was quite easy.


2303 miles in the trip, now for some cleanup

There is one paint chip the size of a pencil tip on the lower spoiler and two areas with light scratching; on roof and on the hood, but not sure if these were there when I took delivery due to rain.

Overall the paint was protected very well, let the spa treatment begin!
