Took "Old Boots" to Old Town (Kissimmee, Fl) for thier "Saturday Night Cruise" weekly get-together. About 200 or so cars there, a nice cool fall night...just great all around.
Its about a 150-mile round trip, so the Mustang likes to get out of the garage and run everything up to temp...itz good for it. Did about 75-80 most of the way and she ran beautifully.
I noticed while I was there the car was looking a little shabby: paint was "pinking" a bit, chrome a little hazy and tires pretty drab. So...
Sunday morning I detailed the old girl. Fresh wax, so no more "pinking", brass-wooled and polished the chrome...all glistening again. Scrubbed and detailed the tires, cleaned and polished all the glass, slimed up and buffed out the interior and she looks like a show pony again!
When I was done, she looked so good and the weather was so nice I decided to take a drive. Randomly happened upon a local car show at a mexican restaraunt. Drove in, parked and chatted with the other car owners for a while, and...
I won "Best at Show"! Free dinner for two. I called the wife, she came up and we had a nice free meal.
That car treats me good.
