Scraped as in "highly noticeable when viewed from the rear" or "you hear it, feel it, but have to crawl underneath her to see the damage"? Neither is good, but hopefully it's the latter.

Its more like "oh, cr@p i scraped the whole exhaust and my world is now over and have to buy a new exhaust" kind of feeling and sounding scrape.

But in reality its not that bad, definitely not noticeable unless you get under the car

Nice! What soap are you using with the pressure washer?

Trying to stay on topic: I ripped the door panels and center console out for audio install the last couple days. Also have some side blades to install this weekend.

Yeah, I think most of us would feel that way.

Interesting. I've not seen wheels covered like this before. I take it you cleaned and detailed your wheels and tires before giving her a wash?

I miss Ocean Beach. I lived in SF from 1996 until 2001, and spent a lot of time out there, as well as at the Cliff House, Beach Chalet Brewery, and the Sutro Bath ruins. Cool vibe, for sure.
