Dang, glad you caught it though. Seems like I can find unlimited things to fix on this car, haha. But it's so rewarding.

I didn't; happened to previous owner twice (my boss), and I thought - nope, not interested in it happening to me, so in went the BBi.

I had a late night on Saturday polishing and finally getting around to ceramic coating the car. I think the paint is about as good as it could get without doing something drastic like color sanding or repainting.

Wow, that is a helluva finish.

I've always wondered what you looked like.

That is my face. It's not much, but I managed to secure a disproportionately attractive wife with it.

Also, Griot's BOSS Fast Correcting Cream is probably the best automotive paint product I have ever used. Get you some.

I went and looked at my engine on a dolly. The air pump is out and the hose has been blocked, so that's a W, however, I am absolutely irritated that a tiny valve has taken more than two weeks to get from LA to here and has still not been delivered.

Paid for express too.

Just blame COVID - an excuse not to live up to expectations.

Yeah, and myself - I should've over nighted it.

Me, every time I look at shipping tracker with USPS. My most recent order, a 1/8" CNC bit, took 5 days to get here. I could drive to where it was shipped from in less than 2.5 hours during rush hour.

Maybe they have the wrong address.
