mc2hill Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Watched the F1 race at Monza (I had forgotten that track is in Gran Turismo), then washed the wife's car to be ready for a trip out to dinner tonight (1905 salad - yea!). I am now enjoying my free day of NFL Sunday Ticket, with GameMix (only 8 games at once) and Red Zone Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I loaded up the trunk with all of my detailing arsenal and headed to the home of my employer of the last 28 years. On Tuesday AM his 30+ year old garage door opener stopped about 3/4 of an inch from letting his silver 2010 Lincoln MKS AWD through unscathed. There was weatherstripping scuff marks from one side of the roof to the other. I gave it a quick bath to start then got to clay barring the car with Adam's Clay Bar and Detail Spray. For the scuff marks I ended up using Meguiar's M105 on a 6" Lake Country orange CCS pad followed by M205 on a 6" Lake Country white CCS Pad. ( When I exhaust my Meguiar's compounds/polishes I'll replace them with Adam's, unless Dylan tempts me sooner with one of those Daily Specials, ahem, HINT!) The rest of the vehicle was in great shape so it got a double coat of Adam's Americana Paste Wax. The interior got a light cleaning and the glass got sealed with Adam's Glass Sealant. Tires got SVRT as well. No pics, I was there to knock this out and get back home. I ended up spending 4 hours+. About 45 minutes of it was us two chit-chatting. I grabbed an ice cold beer out of the garage refrigerator before I left, I think it was A&W... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOx Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Drove back to Atlanta from Tarpon Springs (Tampa). Whew. 9 hours with stops. The A8 is a wreck! While down there, we went through some torn up roads, so we sort of went muddin'. There's mud all up the sides, tree crap, bug guts, tons of road grime, and typical interior trip trash. I'm hoping for a 3-day detail 'event' this week to clean her up and do paint correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Really bad. Not totaled, almost though. Front bumper is scratched, passenger fender is unrecognizable, passenger door scratched into the metal and the door handle is pushed in about 3 inches. Then the passenger rear fender is totally flat against the car. The "hip" is a crumpled, flat looking angle, and the rear bumper is pulled out about half an inch to the right. I'm thinking at about 500 bucks a panel, 3 panels = 1500 bucks. Then 600 a panel to paint it brings it to 3300. Then, if I replace the front bumper, there is 300 more dollars, and to paint it is another 600. To stripe it maybe another 50, since I already have the vinyl. That is 4250. No clue how much to fix the rear bumper, but I'll guess at another 100. The wheels and tires didn't even get scratched somehow, so no problems there, but the mirror exploded and blew glass into my face (I am still picking it out of my hair) because the window was open. There is another 150 for the mirror, and I don't even know how much for the mirror glass. I'm going to guess around 4600 dollars just for parts and paint. To have them installed? I don't even know.

Vincenzo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Woke up around 12, got on Facebook for 20 minutes. Listened to some revolutionary English tunes. Then I went back to bed until about an hour ago. When I woke up, I ate and got back on the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nursed a sore back from re-building my deck (15x15) yesterday, then nursed a headache from drinking a 6 pack afterward when some friends stopped in to sit on the deck with us. Mowed my acre of weeds, put away all of the tools/saws/leftover wood from yesterday, made breakfast, made dinner and watched football. Not a bad day. Wish I had more like them.

StormChaser Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I watched all my shows that have been on DVR for the past month. I made dinner (pork chops, squash n onions, and cheesy garlic mashed potatoes) and cleaned up from that. Now I am going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Today I met up with 20 other G8s down in CT. Also had my car strapped to dyno for the first time. 350hp/351 ft-lbs of torque Nice! Sounds like a fun day! It looks like White on G8s is very popular. Today I woke up to the alarm clock, woke the 14 yr old up, brushed my teeth , turned on the morning news, made coffee, let the dogs outside, told the 14 yr old to hurry up, poured a nice warm cup of coffee, let the dogs in, sat in the recliner with my coffee, booted the 14 yr old out the door, took a shower, dryed my hair, woke my husband up, got dressed, drank more coffee, fed the dogs, walked out the door for work, stopped at the gas station and then arrived at work. I'm tired already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
