...she refused to go to bed dirty!

I don't know if you guys have Monkeypod, or "Shower" trees on the mainland, or if its a tropical thing, but at the beginning of summer these things explode in a rain of sticky sap, wiry seedlings, and brown seed pods covered in sap. Disgusting. So despite leaving the office a little early to fight of a flu bug, a good wash and quick wax was a must.





I feel like I have to go throw up now. haha.

If the car seems familiar, its been a member here since 06'. I bought it from Holli82 a couple months ago.

You're wise to deal with that stuff as soon as possible! Over time it would be a bugger to get off! Looks great!

Yeah, my old car has all sorts of not-so-great spots in the pain from sap that I didn't take care of. (The Porsche gets washed frequently on the other hand).

Man, that car looks good.

You want to sell?

Hope you feel better soon. I thought I was the only who cleans my car while I am sick.....must be contagious.

For some reason I am not surprised by this.

You need better health care coverage.

Not for sale of course, but maybe in a few years when you tire of that clean GTS.

My health coverage is fine of course, its my 3.5 year old germ collector that is the problem. Everything that passes through that preschool seems to end up at home.

Hey,
Are you in Aiea? I live in Mililani, but work in Aiea. My bro lives just on the other side of Aiea Heights Drive from where you took those pics (on the other side of the highway, past the high school.) Just found my car covered with those tiny pink flowers which are blooming all over right now. No sap, luckily.

Couldn't help myself. Had to visit my bro yesterday so stopped and took a pic of mine in the same spot. Mine needs a wash badly though.

If Holli82 is in NV, how'd you get it to HI?

I flew up, drove it to San Diego, and loaded it on a boat. $1042.
