Default Spring Fever!!!

So last Monday was -17 with the wind chill, and this Monday it was 62 so I got to take the car out for a quick ride and then wash it. Man I can't wait until spring. All tucked away until then....

I detail cars and I have a new model 3 in right now so the 911 is just getting coated in polishing dust. This Tesla is the worst new car condition I have ever seen. I've done everything I can within the budget and it is only 50% corrected.

The Tesla is junk, not saying much for a car that can't be too old. Good to know, thew GF wants one.

LOL. These guys love their cars but the quality control on them is terrible. It looks like this car was sanded at the factory but never finished. The problem now becomes I have a certain budget to work within, I can't spend the time sanding it or just throwing the old school rotary and wool at it without doubling the price. Rant over.
