Yo anyone know a good place to wash my car around WC around this time of day? I am sure they have some do it yourself car washes around here somewhere.


Another thing, a stupid a&# bird shat on my car and i washed it, but I can still see the freakin outline of its acidic crap. Man I am so not happy about this. Great way to end a Friday. Looks like it got deep into the paint.

I'm meeting up with absolutg at Rockridge BART at 7:45AM, then we're heading over to Hayward.
I dealt personally with Pam, the GM at Oakland. Great lady, great service and respect overall from Oakland. I ordered a Lakeshore Blue, but then I saw it in person, and as much as I still live that unique color, I jumped boat and went for the Blue Slate at Serramonte (they have one exactly to my configuration in their first batch of '07s). I actually saw the Blue Slate when I test drove the model car (which was already sold!) at the test drive back in Oct. I felt bad, because Pam and I kept in touch, and I promised her my business. Instead, I sent several G35Driver members and a friend's friend her way. Did they send you a plant as a thank-you gift? I think Oakland has the nicest building and the most courteous service.

I just got the Nikon D80 ($1000) a few weeks ago, plus a $120 50mm 1.8f lens. If anyone wants some sexy pictures, we can do some fake drives for photography sake. I'm still learning to use this crazy **** camera, so tomorrow will be the perfect practice opportunity. The 17-mile drive from Monterey to Carmel is actually perfect for pictures. Hwy 1 is good, too, but most of it is only one lane.

I just went to the self wash in Concord, there is one on Monument Blvd, between Detroit and Oak Grove and another on Galindo, accross from the Police station, I like that one better. Or Lil Bear on Ygnacio Vally Blvd, by the court house, brush wash however.
PM if you need any more info.
Try using a claybar on the bird residue.

Don't go buy one. If people have them they bring them. Otherwise we just use cell phones.

Dealt with a guy named Jaime, and eventually went all the way up to the financial managers... had pretty much the same experience with Niello in Concord -- felt pretty bad -- and yes, I got a plant


I'll need some pictures taken if you can... I don't even have a camera right now and I've been wanting some!

Thank goodness for free weekend minutes. Then again, I also have 8000+ rollover minutes.

We can all daisy-chain our cell phones with three way! Like a giant conference call.
