Topic: A picture of your car right now.

The wax I put on last week has held on surprisingly well inspite of the pollen and rain.....

Time to switch to a sealant...it does require a bit more upfront work - clay bar comes to mind - but once you apply it, it's supposed to last for up to 5 months!

I have a clay bar already, it's been a couple years since I've used it though.

I think the wax lasts 3-4 months- I apply it when it gets obvious the water is no longer beading. If I'm brutally honest, car maintenance isn't something I like doing. I do it out of necessity, and I do it properly when I tackle the tasks. But spending an entire afternoon washing, clay bar, waxing my car isn't something I want to do.

My car is six years old and I've waxed it exactly once. Well, I do hit it with the spray wax at the car wash once in a while, but I assume that doesn't count. 

My car looks perfectly fine to me. I've got about a thousand other things I'd rather do with my time than fuss over car cosmetics.

Beautiful sunny day downtown Oakville.

Jaeger, that really is a gorgeous car.

If you have a clay bar you are wasting your time with waxing....paint sealant is much easier to apply, nothing special required...do a bit of research, you will be surprised.

Great shot

Too bad the house number wasn't the MY of the car or engine displacement.

I agree: great pic.  Maybe 143 is the top speed of the car. 

Amazing pic!

Jaeger, that really is a gorgeous car. 

Thanks gents.  I'll try for a more significant street number next time!    That crease running along the side of the car is hard to capture - the camera sees it as flat most of the time - but with the sun directly overhead it cast just enough of a shadow to show up.  Damn, just needed to go a bit higher to get to the hp number:

That thing makes a license plate look like a postage stamp - lol! Seriously though, nice truck. Props on not getting black like literally everybody else.

Car and Driver says top speed is 149 mph (240 km/h).  Try that one!

Beautiful car!

Have you had a good experience with Hyundai?  I think I'll check out the Genisis this fall.

The Sonata I had for 5 years had exactly one issue that was kind of a fluky glitch.  Beyond that it was rock solid.  The Genesis is a whole nother level up, and so far I am liking it more with every drive.

Just drove the Boxster back from Florida. 

Two days of interstates at about 130kph and a day in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The Boxster is an excellent long distance cruiser.

Properly jealous, that sounds like an amazing couple of days.

I'm jealous!!

How was the noise level? I heard the 911's had high amounts of tire roar...does the Boxster suffer from the same?

I've got 20" Pirelli P zeros and they are a very soft compound.  My rears have a fair bit of wear on them at 22k and they are starting to get a little noisy depending on the pavement texture.

I don't find the car noisy at freeway speeds, but my Acura is definitely quieter.

I can't complain though as the car really sticks to the road.

That's actually not bad.  I just replaced the rears on my S2000 and they just turned 18k. 

Sounds like a fun trip!
