    Oh come on Champ that vehicle looked bad, I mean the carpet the seats...the objects all over the place is not a big deal but all the stains, that's just wrong. It dosen't help that the colour of the interior is a light colour too...oh but man your fast bro. I spend an average of 4hrs just in the interior wow I should call you "flash" :rollinglaugh: just teasing.

    Great turn around buddy, keep them coming always enjoy reading your posts :cheers:

    no actually he was a lazy punk with long hair and probably a dope head!! thanks bro... should of called you to come help me

    You have no idea... the back passenger seat was full of tobacco leaves!!

    :joint:

    No marring as far as i could tell... I made sure the pad was well lubed at all times and didn't let get dry

    and that quote at the end is halirious... I was thinking i should knock on the door and punch the guy in the head for letting it get so dirty

    definately a nice collection of "stuff", should of kept it and sold it on craig's list

    it came with the trailer... rightlook.com

    I know that not all college kids are like that... just spolied ones that have mommy and daddy pay for everyting

    i had to let the mitt dry! :whistle: besides it was facing on the black side. and it's my favorite mitt in the whole world

    :headbang:

    thanks man

    i love my mitt i am sick of sheep skin and terry cotton mitts. plus if done close to 30 washes with it and it doesnt even look worn.
