I sort of hope there was a turbo install happening when I didn't have school. I like to watch people and listen to them curse inanimate objects.

I am not sure if Reality show is the right answer but maybe a mid-day soap opera

"Days of our SARX's"

btw...check out my dad's and ly new project. first the introduction.....if you are not familiar with anvil launching the check out the youtube vid below (hope this works never embeded a vid before)

http://youtu.be/IhQ4dE_RGnQ

if you were not familiar you now know how exciting it can be (btw I have no relation to the man in the vid)

now check out what we designed with some 80lb steel bar ends that have been at our farm since I was a kid

Name:  IMG_0150.jpg
Views: 12
Size:  164.9 KB


if you look it over you can figure it out but basically its 2 80lb chunks of steel with a tube....this allows you to harness more of the forces vs the standard anvil in the vid above.

next trip to the farm I promise to share vids

I wish you luck with that. I don't **** around with paint on my car. That's pretty much the most important part of the exterior. Quality>quantity

what do you know about high speed polishing? orange peel is a bitch and I would like to make it go away

I have thrown around the idea of a HS polisher but probably not worth the investment

My friend was pretty hardcore into detailing for a while, so I just let him do it. It is almost fail-proof with the right equipment so I hear. I did have part of my door buffed too much though. It's lighter than the rest of the door now. Wade's Auto Body in Waco bastards.
