When I bought the silver 6MT, I payed 37k for Premium, Sat Nav, and trunk mat. The 05 same specs was 38. I traded the silver in for 31k. I dont know how much you will get for your 03. My silver had 3800 miles and was taken care of with the passion you see I write with here. 3800 miles and 2 Premium Dealer Oil Changes... wash all the time, leather 1nce every 2 weeks etc etc.

Who do I PM my address to get the trophy?


On another note, this is how she is looking today (has not moved since Monday):




[TIP FOR U GUYS]
Note the two buckets covering sprinklers. Also, last year, when the hurricane season came, I went down to Ft Lauterdale for the 1st and to Orlando for the 2nd and parked the Silver G in a 4 story parking lot. I covered her up and secured the car cover with the cable. When the hurricanes left and things came back to sort of normal, I did a car wash. When I was shampooing the area close to where the cable securing the cover goes, I felt that the paint was dry. When I took a closer look, it was like there was no clear coat! Apparently, wind raices the car cover up and the cable rubs with the paint. To fix this problem:

2 things..

don't ever put microfibers on the floor.. they will catch up some dirt/dust that you will be rubbing on your car.

don't use a car cover unless you plan on washing your car before you cover it.. you will just be swirling up your paint with the dirt/grit trapped in your car cover.


Congrats on the new car.. remember it's a.. CAR just a car..

Hasn't moved since Monday? What do you drive when you go out? Dude I so feel like blaming you for spending more time ogling and worshipping your G than actually driving it, but I do the same stuff to my car as you just as religiously, except that I never make any funny posts about it

Thanx for the tips, The towels were washed after the pictures. I just got some more in the mail so I washed them all together. The reason I put the cover on my car was bcus the sun hits it at certain hours of the day and I have no tints and I dont want sun cealing the dirt onto the paint. The car still has the stickers on it so I dont think there will be any swirls. 5 hours till cleaning.

LOL then this thread will give you confidence to post one yourself! Well as I said before, I want to detail her before I put the license plate and I dont want sun to touch her before she is clean. University is like 1 mile away and I've been using my feet to go there. We were born with them not just for flooring our cars you know?

Ahh!! A car port and no garage? I can't imaging not having a garage to park my baby. Hope you live in a nice neighborhood.

If school is only a mile away I should say that the 3800 miles on your first G were too many You'd only harm your car if you drive it a mile each way, especially during breakin. Just drive around some after school, otherwise it will be hard on the engine, and I mean much harder than driving on the highway at constant speed that you were worried about. And take some pics of the wife-to-be tomorrow after your honeymoon, this time without the wrapper, window sticker and such

4.7! WTF! yah well what can they have possibly done in 3.3 miles anyway. Prolly transporting or something. 8 is great for me, coming from a 46 er...

And well no worries with crocery store... when I had the silver, I went to walrmat at 3 am where NO ONE was there lol... now I got it even better... Walmart RIGHT next to me so I walk over and bring the shopping cart all the way to my room.

Im sure she is lol, why did you name her that? I know that if I'd come up with a random name, I would need some serious explanation to my GirlFriend.


Ok so, my alarm went off at 5am and I pressed the snooze button so I woke up at 5:05 lol... I went out and took my baby to my apartment's car washing place and began taking the white plastic stuff.. boy do they hold good. It was dark and I didnt want to use my finger nail so it took some time...



Ill show the progres better later (when I resize all images... too tired to do it now.. its almost 9pm. I washed and waxed from 5am till 7:45... Im hungry!)

The thing is, I advice you guys to NEVER do what I did unless you are hard core. When I took the white plastic thingies off, they had like an edge which took forever to clean. I used Zainos soap and it looked like they had come out so after washing 2 times with carwash, clay baring, and washing with dawn, I moved my car and dried it... BOY o BOY there were there! As if I had not done anything. I had to use Zainos car-wash/water mixture to take them out after I dried her. Yes... then I had to wash again. Well Ill give the long story later. After I set things up I began Z6ing and applied Polish (BTW Dont use Z8 before polish as Z8 is like wax on a bottle, it leaves metal smooth so polish doesnt hold well).

(btw in the morning I was so tired that I forgot to put on the timestamp thing but later I turned it on... this pic is 5pm... 12 hours after I started)






I "finished" almost at 8... I still need to do the tires and interior and windows.

Ill post tomorrow with better descriptions and better pictures (too dark right now), my english must be crappy on whatever it is I wrote lol. (English isnt my 1st language)

What's your first language? Your English is not too bad at all. English is my third language and when I'm tired I realize how bad I speak it lol.. it's all good.

Good job, but dang 15 hours and it was a hot day...

My 1st lang is Spanish... My english isnot bad because the school I went to (high school) back home was an all English school. However, when I get tired and start writting sloppy my English (actually whatever lang I use lol) becomes really dumb.

Apparently I didnt think out this new-car-process correctly. I did buy a 5.1Mpixel camera, but the darn thing takes 2.2MB pictures! God it takes ages to load them up on Photoshop CS2 and edit and shrink em. Ill get there eventually. Besides, I need to take some pics of things I bought for my previous G and I never used to sell over here
