This website is all about my car and I. There are pics, facts, and other cool stuff.

My Car

I love my car. This is the first F-body I've owned and I'm glad that I bought it. I've never had a manual before although I've driven plenty of my friends cars that had them. I've never had a V8 before and I'm glad this is my first 305 stock hps gotta love that. Anyway I've always treated my cars good but at the same time I demand performance, this car doesn't dissapoint.

Keeping Your Car Cool

Did you know that in 95 degree heat, the air in your car reaches approximately 146 degrees and the steering wheel can reach 158 degrees? So what can you do about it? First, you can tint your car windows. Clear glass magnifies the sun and intensifies the heat. If that's too expensive, buy manual sunshades. They come in cheap cardboard or reflective material. You can also buy shades for the back side windows where your kids are. To avoid hot steering wheels, put a towel over the wheel to absorb sun while your car sits. I have my windows tinted to 21% and although it's illegal it looks nice and keeps it cool.

Washing and Waxing Tips

Most cars now come with a clearcoat finish, which tricks owners into thinking they don't need wax. Actually, you should wax your car 3-4 times a year. Most manufacturers also recommend washing your car once a week. Remember to start washing your car only when the car's surface is cool and only after rinsing the entire car. Rub gently, one section at a time, and use specific car wash products--never household cleaners. After rinsing your car well, dry it with a soft, clean cloth. I have yet to use Zaino products but I hear they're awesome and I can't wait to use them.

I love T-Tops
I'm not a huge convertible fan, but at the same time a hardtop would suck. The inbetween is the T-Tops you can't go wrong. I don't know how I ever lived without them.

My friends favorite Picture

I know this is supposed to be a car site but my friend Melody just loves this picture so I had to put it up on here.
