It's dull because I just acid washed it to polish it back up, it's my most prized possession lol.Attachment 561418
Yea, when my brothers and I were kids, there was kid in town who road with us once in awhile that was into the three wheelers. That was before the four wheelers became so common. He had a couple 3 wheelers, his newest back then was a 350x. He was over at the house once with the Big Red 200 and parked it at the edge of the driveway. We were in the garage when we heard what sounded like chain going round and round. He left his three wheeler in neutral and it rolled down the back hill into the pound. We ran out just in time to catch the big splash.

Those things float don't you know.....upside down lol.

New to the car, yes. This is from the pic that was sent to me in response to my ad. A Scotch Brite pad, some LA's Totally Awesome Degreaser, and about 45 minutes of scrubbing made it much nicer. So, then I wiped down the rest of the dash with the degreaser too. Shoulda seen the rag.

The pad is from an 87-89.

This Smith's is the store I frequented when I was still in Salt Lake. And on the last day of school a kid got stabbed to death in the parking lot.

Good thing I moved.

I noticed smoke in the air this morning... not much of a surprise with some of the fires we have. Just found out that the Salt Lake County landfill is on fire though. Great.

Just making space for more trash.
They will make space for more tires in August when it cools a bit.
