My First Year as a SolaraGuy
by jimmm » Wed Mar 24, 2010 8:03 pm
It's springtime in Alabama, and, as you can see, I have been
a SolaraGuy member for a whole year now, as of March 18, 2010.
Today, I took a drive in the countryside during my lunch hour, and,
of course, what self-respecting SolaraGuy could resist taking pictures
of his/her Solara (even with just a cell phone) if the setting were just right?
Before the drive, however, I took a couple of pics in the
parking lot at work to show where I put my new solaraguy.com
decals that I ordered from indiglosolara. I decided to leave my side
profiles clean and do a front and back placement, since the back
window is already loaded with decals, although I think they are
tastefully done. You might disagree, but the nice thing about
window decals is that when one gets tired of them, they can be
removed easily. I've already got a thousand miles on my new
Michelin Primacy MV4's that I got 3 weeks ago today, and I keep
them shined with Meiguar's purple (grape smelling) tire shine that you
pour onto a sponge and wipe on the tires. Monday I purchased a
set of Michelin frame-less wipers to match my tires. I could have
gone with Bosch, but I like the consistency of using Michelin. Now
I can't wait until it rains again, probably tomorrow. I drove mostly
the whole hour except when I stopped to take pictures and to smell
the Daffodils, but I cruised between 45 and 50 mph with windows
closed and a/c on. It was a lovely way to spend the lunch hour
away from the madding crowd.
