I washed and waxed it before I left so I can protect the paint. When I came back, I was exhausted and tired so I went to a touchless car wash.

^no good monox i went on kumho mx's and it's impossible to drive much like on ice. i'm on asx/s up front right now and it solved the problem.

i actually kind of like the look of a dirty tiburon only thanks to the fact that i love [older] rally cars, especially when they used to have rallies that went through mud.

strikeeagle looks like that car went through hell. photo is pretty cool, i think it also has its beauty in a way. i drove like that from work last year when we had our share of winter weather but i drove without taking off the snow off my car. combined with resistance, snow, wind, snow on the road the gas mileage on my car was quite poor.

kr, notice the parking space is lettered "H", that's awesome.

im on sumotoma HTRZII's. and have no tread. of course they were horrible tires when they were still in good shape. i thought my yokohama parada spec 2's were shit, those tires were insane compared to these.

Use black magic liquid wax!! Stuff is oil based, so it doesn't 'dry' and buff off, but you have to take it off layer by layer, and in the end, it looks amazing!!
