Yeah man, I hear that. The blue has to be clean and shiny to be good for the eyeballs.
My car has been on the lift so much that during dead time I would polish up underneath the car. And I have all that insulation wrap on the exhaust that I'm not real crazy about getting wet, much less mud caked. I woke up this morning thinking I might be able to take the car out today. They scraped the dirt road yesterday so it wouldn't have shaken my teeth loose. But I took one look at the weather radar and, well, so much for that idea.
I might need to take a refresher course on how to drive a stick shift. Speaking of which, maybe my not driving for a while is for the best anyway. I've been suffering through a bout of plantar fasciatis in my left foot for a few months now and perhaps pushing in on the clutch pedal is not too good for it.
Might as well put some sort of silver lining into that cloud.....
