yeah, they do require a good amount of work to keep clean but a SHINY black car is such a beautiful thing.
One thing I do is I take some quick detailer and a microfiber to the car every time I get back from driving it around. That way when I take it out again it's (mostly) clean.
OH, while I have you here.
Thoughts on iPhone going to Verizon? You making the jump?
My opinion: I think it's terrible timing because that phone is almost a year old at this point. I'm not sure if i was an AT&T customer if I'd bother with paying a few hundred bucks for virtually the same thing. Granted, the network is usually better but does that justify the cost?
Especially when we all know that Apple loves to release a new version every summer. If someone jumps on the existing (or "new" VZ version), they'll be stuck paying full price if the LTE / 4g / iPhone 5 comes out soon.

yah, i would wait til summer when apple reveals the iPhone 4S- or whatever they're going to call it.
also, i've been on verizon before. and, honestly they are not all that great either. yes their network is slightly better for phone calls. but, their customer service is really bad. plus, u can't surf the web and talk simultaneously on their network. a huge inconvenience, imo- and for the way i use my phone. (i multi-task like mad on it.)
honestly, i'm hoping all the morons who bitch about att go over to verizon. (good riddance) and, then att network gets faster for the rest of us... kekekekeke

haha!
how long ago were you on VZ?
My personal cell is on verizon, my work cell is on AT&T and I drop more calls on AT&T then on VZ, even on the same route.
ie; from home to work, I'm more inclined to drop calls on work cell then personal. (I talk on the phone almost every morning on my way in and switch between the two but)
Not being able to surf and talk does suck, I run into that problem from time to time but I believe their new LTE phones can do it.
I'm not sure what they'll call the new iPhone but I do get a kick out of every time I hear someone say, "I just got the new 4G iPhone"

i was on verizon for 7+ years, and there were still spots around town where calls would drop regardless... i was on att before verizon, and then back on att after i got the iphone in 2008.
att does have more dropped calls, but it's not that bad. i like being able to text and web surf while talking. and, there are more than enough great things on the iphone to cancel out the bad...
verizon is really pushing their LTE. and, from the demos i've seen, it -is- indeed faster and wider coverage than other phones. but, i will admit i'm biased and just like apple stuff. the screen resolution on the iphone4 is really nice, even tho the galaxy has a slightly bigger screen.
it's all about compromises and deciding what u can live with and what u cannot. all smart phones are pretty damned good nowadays.

not that keith reads this forum much anymore... but, a belated "sorry" about the Pats... if it's any consolation, which i know it probably isn't much, but the Steelers took care of the Jets for that transgression... hehehehe

ive never been to orlando, but my friend who lives there says it's kinda boring- ie a suburbia for middle & upper middle class families. the disney resort is the main attraction.
but, hey- any co. paid convention in disney resort = awesome!

Toy RX-8 Cars I found at the local drug store...
lookee what i found guys... saw these at a local CVS Pharmacy, of all places... i lined them up to take the photos, and other customers thought i was weird. 
anyhooo... i couldn't find blue, black, green, white, or gray. but, will keep looking. the front doors open and they are right-hand drive (Japanese model).
i bought one for my 3 year old nephew, cuz he's really into cars right now...
