The Lingenfelter car collection and Adams detail Clinic was my first as well. Most of my time there was spent watching adam at work on the winter beater (I was skeptical until I noticed the blizak tires). There was a nice crowd picking up tips and tricks most of the time... that was until the Enzo was fired up in the other room and about half of the attendees (my self included) had to see the source of that beautiful noise. Although It was more a refresher for me I did get some clarification on flashing of product and also got to clay some of the hood on the demo car. I was able to talk with a few of the other attendees about Adam's amazing Customer service and great products so hopefully that will bring some new business for Adam. Overall a great experience with many great cars (Formula's pic shows the corvette room but there were two others the same size. One with more muscle and the other with more exotic.) I would do it again.

My dad just informed me today that the officer who took glass in the face is my 6th or 7th cousin( never met him ). He also showed me pics of the cop cars...... it puts a chill down your spine when you see 10+ bullet holes in a windshield all of them into where the driver would be. What is wrong with people?

VA is an open carry state, so you can side holster it all day long, provided it's kept in plain sight.

As it was explained to me Michigan is an open carry state as well but as soon as you get in a vehicle its considered concealed. That being said if you do not have a concealed carry license your firearm must be Article 7? (not sure of the title) or "out of reach" with ammunition separated.

Metro Detroit is predicted to hit 100 tomorrow hopefully that 30% chance of rain will cool it down a little. I had planned on working on the upstairs of my bungalow tommorrow but considering that last night I broke a sweat just standing up there... Literally dripping sweat!

sounds like a deal, but will having just 1 bath hurt the resale later on? no idea what the norm is in your area.

Not really Royal Oak is an older area for the most part so a lot of the houses (at least in my range) are one bath. The basement is unfinished so Im kicking around the idea of putting one down there when I finish that. It does however have a 2 car garage ( priorities man lol) where most in that area have small 1 car shacks.

I like the RO, Berk, Fern area but there seems to be alot of traffic which I tend to try and avoid anymore (except for third weekend in August every year).

 

I like the country living. We don't hear alot of traffic other than maybe an airplane firing up now and then and I275 & 94 traffic occassionally.

 

I love looking out my back window and seeing nothing.

 

AND this Kills me: "I love when I hear someone talking about buying the house down the street and walking away from their current home"!!!

I cant blame you on not wanting to be in the city, honestly 5 years ago I thought people were crazy to pay the prices to live in smaller houses and yards.... That was until some friends I consider family moved to Berkley a few years back and I fell in love with the area. I still feel like i will eventually move to a place with a little more yard but right now im young and on the move so this seems like the best fit right now. Also those good friends had a little girl this past September and she has me wrapped around her little finger so of course its nice to be closer to them.

I live close to Metro Airport in a very nice area. There are a few homes around our area that a few years ago were priced at $300k and one just sold for $190k within the past few months. Over 2500 sq. ft brick' date=' attached 2 car garage and 5 acres. Crazy.

 

Alot of the people in Metro Detroit have lost their homes because of the bad economy. Foreclosures are everywhere. Its almost worth it to buy homes for rentals if you can afford it because everyone's credit has gone to crap. We have no problem renting out our other house.

 

Sorta sad.[/quote']

 

Im looking at a house in R.O. 3 bd, 1 bth, on basement with a 2car detach in R.O. listed at 150k... before the mortgage bubble burst it would have easily sold at 225K.

 

As for people in the metro D loosing their homes, I maybe a jerk but I feel bad for very few of them. Yes there are some good people who have lost their homes but in my line of work I have seen so many who are just clueless when it comes to budgeting and finances... I love when I hear someone talking about buying the house down the street and walking away from their current home because "all these foreclosures are bringing down the value of my house"......

I would have to say Black Magic Titanium Gel. Freaking worthless I couldn't for my life get the crap evenly coated on my tires. I have yet to try Adams VRT on my tires because I am afraid of it being difficult and very time consuming. I do however like Black Magics spray FOAM! Its very easy to get a nice even coat and leaves it with a nice glossy shine that wont sling all over the vehicle and it lasts a long time. Im going on 2 weeks on my last app.

Try vrt man if you dont like it ill be almost tempted to give you that 110%. I used to use a amourall foam type tire spray it was ok. I tried VRT and was in love. imo it lasts longer on the tire and # of applications wise. The only draw back is it wont have " extreme ultra shine" for those who like that sort of thing, me personally like my tires looking deep black and new not slathered in vasoline.

that just makes me sick looking at it .... does the bottle say anything about not letting it set? if no warning on the bottle id give them a little call letting them know what type and size rim they are going to buy me!

peel back a corner with a razor blade then slowly pull it off like a giant sticker.... then the fun part allot of soapy water on the glue residue and use the Razor blade to scrape it off being careful not to scratch.

I see you took advantage of our Michigan surprise weather this weekend as I did! looking good!

Voted!

Atleast you arent having withdrawals like us on East coast heading into the winter months!

I'm still weary about buying the power stick, are the cleaning things soft or hard? I feel like its not going to work on the inside of my wheels.

They are soft but firm...Like a fleece almost, Kinda reminds of the things at the car wash minus all the swirl enhancers of course!

I can attest to the effectiveness and usefulness of both the GWC and the Powerstick! Before i swapped out my semimet for ceramics this is what i had to deal with.

Now mind you i wash atleast once a week (Mi weather permitting)

This is maybe a week and a half + since a wash ( I was waiting for the gwc and wanted a real quality test)

Before

Not only does it work it cuts down the time on the wheel clean. Before my caliper clearance was so small i had to wash the wheels then get in the car back up foot, then wash the area that was previously behind the caliper. Now.... Squirt,Squirt zip Zip, Rinse next wheel!

Just curious but is there a cure window for APW i usually wait till the next day at least cuz i thought i had too.

$40 dollars at TB thats enough foo to feed 6 grown men!

I never leave home without it!

My next question was gonna be how do you like it but i guess that answers it. Im thinking about getting a radar but im not sure about spending $400

Nice Job! Is that a V1 Detector?

No.

 

This is the one in Northville off 8 Mile and Griswold.

 

 

Where is Yates??

Uh i guess its in rochester hills off avon. Ive never been but just before i saw your post a friend of mine posted some pics of her at Yates with a similar river

Today I went to the Cider Mill with my daugher and my grandbaby. This is Jessica and Keegan:

 

Is that Yates?

Welcome.... i have to say one of the sickest G8's ive seen. I love that Color but never thought the black rims would look so tight on it.

Truck did you say?

Ive seen this pic a number of times on here and it has to be one of the coolest. that place must be huge to make the truck look so small!

Best wife you can have doesnt complain and look hot

Ya but its not as fun when that one gets a little dirty!

You need to give them "hints."

Leave their things on the porch. Change all the locks. Empty the refrigerator.

Turn the phone, gas and electric off, and go on a 30 day cruise.

That should do it. :lol:

Hints what are those... My dad just tells me to move out. Got my first job on my 16th birthday... he asked when i was moving out!
