I WANT FUCKING CELSIUS lololol

yeah that's usually what I do, constantly scan for common cop areas and brake lights, if something seems wrong I slow to 70 or 65 if a cop is spotted

eh i typically get up to 75 and hit cruise

think it might be time for me to invest in a detector lol

^ this. i bought a california duster but if i'm not super gentle it scratches lol

at this rate i'm probably just going to keep the tv, with all the new tech out it's 'old news' even though everything i'm selling is 1080p @ 60hz... shame to see prices dive so hard.

make an offer and i'll consider it

never really played online, but this is one of the first gen ps3's, back before they started nerfin' them the guitars are all working and all the guitars are wireless

PS3 is the original 60GB ps3 that has backwards compatibility with ps1 and ps2, the account is in good standing with the playstation network, but I believe you can make your own account anyways, if it sells I'll wipe the firmware for you anyways. Was $600 new, the new high end ones currently go for $400, looking to get $400 including 4 controllers (2 are feedback), 2 2-controller energizer charger stands, and an HDMI cable.

Thanks jaron!

in a couple weekends I will be free if you want to tackle it then Kevin

Haha yeah that's I think his name is Alex, I saw his car up at Infiniti of Columbus a while back when I went up there to pick up my all season mats and splash guards. Just spoke to IOC today and the splash guards they gave me were the wrong ones for my car, so I'm glad we didn't spray the one set lol. The guy thinks he might be able to get the other set in completely sprayed and ready to mount. Glad to hear your Grandma's doing well

Ah okay cool, how's your Grandma Kevin?

I followed this guide and used these products: http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/2005-bmw-m3-in-silver-grey-metallic/ Todd lives here in Columbus and I asked him a lot of questions and he helped a ton, he's a contributor for detailedimage.com and they have an 'ask a detailer' section where you can ask any questions you have Thanks!

Yeah after I went out for that scenic drive the car was already covered in dirt and dust lol... but it wiped down clean again! for the exhaust 0000 grade steel wool and optimum metal polish, just put some elbow grease into it and then wiped it all down with microfiber. Redressed the exterior again with klasse all in one and then wiped it down after it hazed, came out nice and shiny

thanks

Sorry for so many replies to myself, just trying to get the photos posted.

And the final action for the car to make it all official! :D http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3279.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3278.jpg Then, finally complete, I took the car out to find some nice places for pictures http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3281.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3282.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3283.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3284.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3285.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3286.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3287.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3288.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3289.jpg

After buffing the sealant out! Looks at it now http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3262.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3264.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3267.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3268.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3270.jpg Oh and since it takes 8 hours for the sealant to cure, I shut her down for the night, got up and waxed the entire car and started detailing the rest of the car. When was the last time you cleaned your sunroof? This is what I pulled off the seal and the inner chamber of the sunroof: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3271.jpg Cleaned the interior with leatherique on the chairs and protectant plus on all plastic/vinyl panels and trim: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3273.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc295/carsontl/Cars/2006%20G35/Detailing/April%202010/th_IMG_3275.jpg
