Washing and waxing Vivian (My 14 GT) up and down for the first time since I bought her. I am kind of nervous, as in "first time laying the pipe down" nervous......

It's better than the alternative. A busy night for you isn't always a good one. I'm glad you got home safe. :)

Haha. Well, if it makes you feel better, no factory paint job is perfect to start with. Just be sure to use a clean, soft sponge, Dawn dishwashing soap, a quality clay bar and work it real good. Pay attention for any debris in the clay careful not to rub any on the surface. Spray detail spray liberally as you do so. That will get her clean down to the surface. Also, be sure to do it early morning or late evening in a shaded area (not under a tree either lol) not letting the water dry water spotting the car. One panel at a time. :)

Thanks for the info! I just finished but ran out of microfiber towels; so, instead of doing a full wax, I just washed, applied a wax-as-you-dry, and then a black detail spray. I am so paranoid about the micro scratches on the black paint. I used like 30 micro fiber towels to wash and dry, but I feel they are inevitable. I may pick your brain and Nic's about detailing. I have never used a clay bar or polish before. Thanks again!

My S2000 buddy at work forwarded me some youtube video of a White girl twerking... so I've been watching twerk videos for the past 48 hours.

Fuuuuuck. My back is sore from running tonight. I keep getting told by expierenced runners that this will get easier as my weight comes off and I learn how to run. I dont see how anyone enjoys this shit! Iike the peace and quiet but the pain sucks!

Man, I loved running. But I fucking hate it now, can still do it, just don't love it.

Have you considered a row machine or swimming? Hiking?

I lost 100lbs doing shit like that

thats nasty.

Best part about that is it looks like they were on a parking garage.....which all have cameras. Some security guard got a nice surprise :lol:

Coffee and Work time! It's Friday! Gonna hit up Coit tonight I think. Hit the sack early and get some cars and coffee action in tomorrow.

Have you tried the walk,run,walk,run routine? Might spare you some pain. I used to run but have since changed my routine to power walking and cycling for the last two years. I think it's far easier on my body than running. I don't feel like I am stressing it as out as much. I was probably burning more calories when I was running but I also felt more sore and exhausted. I walk on average 2.5 miles a day and ride anywhere from 6 to 12 miles a day depending on how I feel.

Well, they put their videos on the internet and have their own website so, pretty sure they are not shy lol.

I'll be getting some overtime tomorrow.

I don't have regular access to a pool, if I did I would definitely do that more being great cardio and much easier on the joints. I do like the rowing machine, I've been switching that up with the torture machine known as the Jacob's Ladder machine. lol. The most comfortable to the cycling machine, but I'm not doing this to be comfortable either.

Any suggestions where to do some hiking?

Yeah, that routine did help. I'm still learning how to relax my shins while running. My daughter got a bike for her birthday so I take her with me. It's a challenging way to do my running keeping up with her on her bike. I planning on getting a bike for myself here soon too. I always loved riding bikes and think I could really get into that.

I've also realized the importance of SLEEP. I've always been a night owl and was surviving on 4 or 5 hours a night for the last 15 years or so. Now I'm getting 8-9 hours and realize what I've been missing. I have much more energy and motivation to get to the gym cuz I'm not dragging my ass all day.

Haha, that reminds me of the college dorm days. Nowadays I get mad and feel awful if I don't get at least 7 hours in. A friend of mine at work goes off like 5 hours and drinks a Redbull at least twice a day. Trying to get him off that shit but, he is officially addicted.
