Thanks guys, I definitely recommend it. A little goes a long way, it is one of my favorite spray waxes and I have tried a ton!

Is that a Sikorsky? I wonder if it runs.

It is a Sikorsky and it does run.

got hit with road debris on i95 this morning going to work. i found myself behind some trucks and a dumptruck so i switched lanes not to get hit with junk and a moment later i got plowed by a small piece of tire

. felt like i was in the matrix for a moment as i watched this thing twirl through the air nailing my hood. left a huge black mark n some small scratches. luckily came off easy enough with a quick detail and some compound.

Whew! So glad to hear the scratches came out!

I've experienced this moment, too. It's a weird side-effect of target fixation.
Unfortunately, in my case the flying chunk of tyre left three gouges in the hood that look like claw marks.

Thanks Dallaz! I love this lens, but now I have the craving to look for a telephoto lens haha. Thanks for all the help you gave me when I was trying to decide.

Skeeter got it, it's a Nikkor 50mm 1.4G and I bought it for around $415 shipped through Amazon. I was debating getting it used off a photography forum but this is one item I would rather buy new.

Tell me: how's the Swift drop been with regards to the FI cans getting scraped? Have you had any issues?

I have only ever scraped the cans once, and that was very lightly on this very high speed bump. I normally approach them at an angle which I did for the front but someone was coming the other direction so I had to straighten out and that's when the cans scraped a bit. I bought my exhaust from Juruki whose car is much lower and they already had very light scrapes when I got it so I wasn't too upset.
