Jim you are the first one to use a leaf blower to dry the car. I must say by the pictures that it was a good idea!

WOW...Jim, you just gave me a GREAT idea, it involves an 8hp leaf vacuum I got for free...

Actually Jay used/s a leaf blower on one of his cars he detailed and he even said he used one. What did you do to your tail lights? Did you do the S-55 treatment?

I sent mine to Mercman(painted) and he sent me his, I had them painted black except for the three opening:)

Body Shop (a good, good friend) misplaced 'em, all is well and they are back and the car is on the raod, and that's a good thing:beer:

Ohhh, he does this treatment? If so, I'll have to PM him and see if he would be kind of enough to do mine. Unless I mis-understood you lol.

.....so you do profess to a certain level of "dumbness"? I started keeping that quiet when I found out no-one else could out-do me is the stupidity departemnt. :(

P.S., I'm going to go and list a gas powered leaf blower in classifieds now.:eek:

Wanna bet?

My first gas powered leaf blower worked so well, I started it in the house and yelled this to my wife:

"Lookout B!tch, time to dust!"

True story.

Dayum, she got pizzed. :eek:

You should have used her best bath towelsto dry off the MM. That will teach her to post pics of your nice ride. Retribution is in order, wait until she is really dirty after working out in the yard(if she DOES :) ) and start a thread. Just make sure you have a blanket in the car as you will be sleeping there for quite a while :rofl:

Waiting for my bodyshop friend to owe me a few favors then I will, pic included. Haven't been able to find one in a BLUE yet.

From the looks of the comments on this thread, we need our own group: STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. We could link to DIVORCE ATTORNEYS-R-US.

Jim: Be VERY careful, history is repleat with examples of how women win these conflicts, I'E, Lorana Bobbit, superglued "body parts", etc.:eek:

:cool: A leaf blower huh? I believe you after meeting you with other MM owners at the Hooters in Bensalem a few Saturdays back. I knew right away you were a wild and crazy guy who uses a leaf blower. Glad to hear the MM is running again. I'm a city boy and don't own a leaf blower but as geeky as this sounds I use the Mr. Clean Car wash system and the last rinse down of the car with the dryer element works great except for some oddball reason the passenger side windows near the top spot but everything else looks really good.

Yes that is the ticket!!!

Leaf blowers for all:)

Gas powered are better to work with, no cords to drag over the car or get caught on the tires:rofl:
