Woke up at 5 today, started washing Zena at 5:30.... nothing like peace, quiet, morning dew, a few birds chirping, and me caressing my car. Love it.

Also waxed and detailed her to get ready for a professional photo shoot today, courtesy of my wife's gift for father's day.

woot woot!!!

Indeed I do.

Here's a couple shots I took after the photo session was done, using my own cam...I know I suck.... but...Not as fancy as the tripod and flashes and set up done by the professional photographer... (I won't see proofs online of all she took until a week from now )

I loved driving her on the grass... you should have seen the people in the park. Probably saying wtf is this dude doing... lol... Luckily though, no rain.

My buddy came by at 7:30 to go for a kick as$ 3 hour ride. I could find a new car relationship after today. The exhaust note is sensational. This is much like the woman I can not afford either. Oh well.

Shiny interior sucks because it reflects sunlight and causes glare. One of the main reasons why I don't like glossy CF inside the car either. Armorall makes your bits look cheap too.

For interiors you can pick up Aerospace303 and use 50/50 with water. It will provide a nice clean semi-matte finish. It will prevent new scratches too. I use Primary Nero which is a more matte version of Aero303.
