Yeah. But they're were sure clean back in the day, weren't they? And the painted calipers with the little Fuji looked great. I've said so often, every time I see this pic.

Hmm. You sure you're in the right location, buddy? Don't we have a "What did you do to your Sedan Four Years Ago?" thread?

Just a wild guess.

Oh yes, all that shine makes it so much easier to deal with cramping fingers for a couple of days after detailing.

Season tickets can be awesome, but I know how tough it is to try and make every home game. We had Charger's season tickets for a few years but were making less than 1/2 the home games so we finally gave them up.


When we used to live on the East Coast we used to come down to Tampa every year for a football game for my Wife's birthday in December, but haven't been to a Bucs game in years.

My apologies. I mentally added "of my car" and didn't realize I had done so. I went back and read your post again to regain clarity.

The Bucs have a bitchin' sign.

Ok, I was OEM skinny, then 20" square, then 20" heavy and fat, then 18" light & square, now I'm ready to get fat again, but still light And the obligatory shot down the side since it's freshly shined up and ready for grime

Thanks G, the Conti Extreme Contact DW have been replaced by the Extreme Contact Sport, from all I've read they're now on par w/ the latest Michelins that Replaced the Pilot Super Sport, so if you get them you should be a happy camper

I got the last 2 of these DW in the tirerack network and for half off, so couldn't pass them up & they get solid reviews so looking forward to getting them up & running.

Yea I think in the 2 years of season ticket owning, we only missed 2 reg season home games. We opted not to renew after my daughter was born back 10'.

Funny you mention the Chargers, I was/am a HUGE Ladainian Tomlinson fan since college and one year for my Bday, also in Dec, wife got me tix 2 rows up on the 20. It was the first time I had ever rooted against the Bucs in that stadium, felt really weird, but man did LT put on a show that day.

I have an idea of the vicinity you live in and based on that I can imagine your car is pretty much covered with a layer of dust within hours of washing it, especially if it gets left outdoors. When we moved from Cincinnati to SoCal we had 3 black cars and we learned very quickly that its virtually impossible to keep a black car looking clean in a desert environment. Suffice it to say, we haven't bought another black (or even dark colored car) since we moved to SoCal.

Having a baby is as good a reason as any to get rid of NFL season tickets. Especially considering I'm sure your daughter has given you more joy and probably just as much heartache as the Bucs have given you over the past 6 - 7 seasons.


Back when Tomlinson was in his prime he was a spectacle to behold. Reminded me a lot of Barry Sanders with how quickly he could change direction and then reaccelerate. And in college he was just a step ahead of everyone else.

Blnewt, cost around $3,000 - give or take. Of course I did all the labor myself, except paint. Paint was around $250 - everything else was all parts, plus extra's, like the halos and lip (of course, I think those are a must though). Also did the headlights myself.
