I would agree with Andy on the websites. I would say that Autogeek forum is probably the most user friendly and full of information. I went the same route you did, OP and spent MANY hours on the forums and asking question, researching threads, etc. I bought a Porter Cable 7424-XP and a bunch of products from detailed image and Autogeek. Since then, I have had a TON of fun and pride getting the fleet clean. I can vouch for the soft paint on my wife's MDX and hard paint on my 5 series....the time it took to do both of those was about 3-4 hours for the MDX and 7-8 for the BMW (hard clearcloat). Here is my thread I did a while back, lots of info and pics in here --> http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108563

So, i'm confused on where I was incorrect?

Awesome thread, thanks for posting.... Also, if they run the energy recovery system too long, they will run out of gas....so this season, they will actually have to pick and choose and strategize with their technical director and team engineers to determine how much 'juice' they can use each lap.....I'm wondering if we won't see a few people run out of gas on track this season...... I'm with you, OP, I can't wait for this season.....

LOL @ the first big jump from the red/white/blue car and all 4 hubcaps pop off at the same time

I bet his dude is one of those guys that wore the bluetooth in his ear everywhere he went too, before he got the 'glass' ...... He was just 'CLOSING DEALS!'

Johnny Tran has not aged well

This is a great route to take, I recommend a similar plan, if it's in the budget.....

Yea, I was supposed to go to that too...heard it was a good time.....Andy, even with the 'slip n slide' conditions?? I hope they 'grate' it a little for some more traction

First, AWESOME job and congrats on having the self-discipline to do what you did.... Second, if you want to get serious there are couple ways you can go about this. 1) I was a personal trainer for almost 2 years, and if you find a good one they can be a HUGE motivator and keep you accountable for your continued success. With that being said, they can also add up and be quite expensive....I'm not saying it's not worth it..it is...just be weary that it can add up quickly... 2) If you have been self-disciplined to lose that much weight, I am sure you can be just as disciplined in the gym....however, you have to KNOW how to push yourself in the gym and if you have never been a 'gym rat' before it may be hard to know if you are pushing yourself hard enough or not.....plus it's easy to just say, I'll go tomorrow...because no one is holding you accountable, except yourself..... 3) If it were me, I would find a friend/lifting partner to do this. Not only will a lifting partner hold you accountable, but he will also help push you. When you are on your last set on the bench and want to get those last couple reps in until 'failure' you NEED someone there to not only spot you, but push you and encourage you to get there...also, if you lift with a friend, it can be fun and you can bullshit with each other in between sets, and it's not an absolute bore in between sets or waiting for equipment.....lastly, a lifting partner is FREE When you workout with a lifting partner, and then get in your car to drive home at the end of your workout and can barely turn the steering wheel on your car, or push the clutch pedal you KNOW you've had a good workout, and most of the time it's hard to get that without someone there to spot you and lift with..... Hope that helps.... Congrats again, and good luck in 2014!

That 'layup' at the end of regulation though.....ugh! Hung my head in shame as they started chanting at the end of the game.....shitty couple weeks to be a Buckeye fan..... this was classic...... http://s3.amazonaws.com/br-cdn/temp_images/2014/01/08/CraftInbound.gif

Now they are saying 'early February' for opening to public....
