Oh joy! (and yes exterior) oh well, I guess it gives me something to try and do this winter. I guess I'm not too worried about it since its going in the garage pretty quick here

So I was at a dealership today. One of the salesman is into cars (go figure), and we chatted things up. I told him about Powercruise. He also asked me about the new Q50R that's coming out. Looks nice.

Well I put the Z to sleep tonight, just need to give it a final wipe down with some quick detailer, disconnect the battery, clean out the cubby's inside, and cover her up. Weather looks like its going to **** starting tomorrow so might as well give into the inevitable and park it. Le-sad

does anyone know of these pads/skids/jacks or whatever they are called, where you can pull your car up on them, and they have ball bearings or something on the bottom that allow you to rotate the car and move it better in tight spots? I've finally cleaned out some space in my garage to get the Z stored for the winter and the Focus in and out erryday. My father insists he knows what they are but just doesn't know where to look for them, and I've never heard of these
