Nah, it's the "I hope my blind date didn't see me in this pink shirt and then decided to leave" pose...

I'm disappointed Juan...maybe we are missing something here. You may just be planning on painting your car a new color so the scratches don't matter.

WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU PAINT IT????

MDRacer, can we get that photoshopped so the owner and the car are monochromatic?

Quick story:

I was driving the Altima down to Miami this week and at about 100mph i noticed a metal rattling sound. The steering wheel bagn shaking and I pulled over. After looking at my lugs I touch one and it fell off .. I then checked all the other ones on my front left tire and they were all loose. I do think one of these high school chicks is trying to kill me ...



OK about the car wash:

My car is already completely screwed as far as paint is concerned. The car is completely covered in swirls and chips. I didnt see anything wrong with letting the kids wash it .. I mean I wasnt the only nice car going through there. It was for a good cause as well.. ( no not the Juan hook up wiht high school girl cause).

I appreciate all the advice on what not to do with my car , but what I need to know is how to fix those swirl marks ... I dont think Meguiars or Zano is going to fix my car .. it is a lil bad ... I wouldnt mind a new paint job ... ( hmm ....)
I will be in Miami all week. I will be back in town Friday afternoon in time to have my new front end installed by Alain and the guys at Professional. Ill be sure to post some pics ..


oh yeah .. you guys dont hate on pink .. the chicks love it , I mean look at how many I have coming over at 3AM after driving 25 miles after only knowing them from the internet..


Man Im a pimp!
lol

suuure... we all believe that you just wanted to do your "civic duty" by getting your car washed by young girls. Images from the movie Wild Things are coming to mind right now.



get a porter cable and some 3m polishes and go to town on your car. Or get it professionally detailed. I'm sure most of the swirls and light scratches can be buffed out.

Hey Mike, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Can you do a quick photoshop for Juan's car, like you did for Kelly's?

God what a hilarious thread!

The horror, the shame, the agony of watching a grown man in a pink shirt using a Z to pick up little jail-bait girls.
That's Z abuse. I think we should confiscate all of his mods.

just so that everyone knows when I bought the car ( about three months ago ) the car was already covered in swirls... so its not like it got any worse..
But I would be interested in getting rid of them once I get the rest of the bodywork done...
thanks!

hey Juan. First off I think u now hold the Guinness record for the most expensive car wash ever!

How about thi? CF hood, hatch, and front fenders. would cost about the same as a new paint job! Any excuse to spend money on your car man and maybe u can right it off on your taxes. The car wash was for charity right
