You are a far better person than I...just had my car detailed and let someone else Wax On - Wax Off!:p

My excuse is I'm old, bad back, bad legs, blah...blah...blah...

I'm just a lazy slob!

I'm sure you're car will look terrific!:D

There will be nothing easy about this, a 2011 F350 Dually, that's a lot of truck to wash polish and wax.
I'm trying to break my lazy streak cause a dirty black vehicle looks like crap but a clean one looks amazing.

Now my wife's GL450 makes me lazy because I can just go through the car wash, get waxed and hand dryer in 5 minutes.

I guess I never have thought about that. I guess the dually would prevent you from gong through the car wash....

Certainly not the most fun way to spend a ****load of money...but necessary, nonetheless.

Conti Extreme Contact DWS 225/40ZR18 tires (in case you didn't guess!).

You really have to see them IRL to appreciate how aggressive the tread pattern is. I might even be able to go 10 feet in my car on snow before I get sideways.

(Sorry about the picture...the best I could find)

Just ordered this from Amazon. I bought the old fashioned version. The actual book. Plus the two sequels. I haven't read this book since 1980.

Nice tires! I bet the cornering with them and your car is very fun!

My wife had these on her last car and they were horrible in the snow, cupped and wore real fast. Hope you have a better experience.

To me it doesn't seem like it would even help. Thoughts?

post your thoughts when you use it, i'm intrigued

Alright, the review is in, and boy is it ever… composed of letters:

The razors (there are 5) are all almost concordant to the structure they inhabit, which minimizes the chance of catching one's skin between the edges and tearing small chunks of one's face (or other parts) off. This is nether a particularly new nor proprietary feature, but it does make hair removal fairly easy.

The FLEXBALL® feature, which I expected to simply be an excuse for putting another inane ALL CAPS term on the box, actually turned out to be an excuse for putting another inane ALL CAPS term on the box. :eek: An order for the head of the razor to start pivoting, it would need to be held perpendicular to the direction it's being pulled. In other words, you'd need to try not to shave before the FLEXBALL® actually flexes.

All in all, I got exactly what I payed for: TRADEMARKED ALL CAPS TERMS.

Terrible misuse of the meme.

----------

It definitely doesn't look like an Accord. I think Honda's design team got it right finally. The past couple of years they have been atrocious. I think when it comes time, I might take a hard look at this one. Do you happen to know if this model is made in the US? I can't remember if they had a plant in South Carolina or Tennessee.

Have they fixed the brake issue on the 9th gen? I had a 2008 (first of the 8th gen) Accord Coupe EX and had to replace my brakes prematurely and often due to them not taking into account the newer heavier body. Glad to be out of that thing though. Uninspired interior, even worse performance, terribly long and clunky. I hated it. Love my new 2014 Mazda 3. Completely different class and car, but still. 9th gen looks much much better inside and out though.
