This stuff freakin' rocks though. Almost all of the old school guys use this stuff and a microfiber towel when they get to the show.... the young kids just leave the bugs. Looks like poo.

That must be new or newer. I use the Quik Detailer in the red squirt bottle, the Ultimate Quik Wax in the black bottle.

I need a new one for the office chair. Old antique chair, not that comfortable. I have a bad habit of sitting half on and half off the chair when multitasking. The cushion is lopsided, seen better days and less abuse I guess. I might update to a purple as well. Looks like A mazon has a selection.

​​​​​​I can see how this might be an issue, just like VW was cheating on their TDI engines. On the other hand, I seem to recall hearing something about California's special requirements going away (or was that a Trumpism?).

Lol... man, that has a ring to it. Missed the boat on that one.

Never heard that. They basically want an oxygen supply coming out of your tailpipe in that state. I know so many former CA residents that can't stand that state

Oh, I'm not saying it's great. I agree they go too far in too many ways. That "doing away with CARB" thing may have just been somebody talking out their....

Some parts of Utah are nearly as **** as CA is. Davis County (just north of SL County) is pretty ****. I am not 100% certain this is still a fact - but the county has their own testing facility you must go to. At least in SL County it is all independent shops... the person looking at your car is not a county employee. Then you've got where I live, Tooele County, the next county west of SL County that has no emissions requirements.


EDIT: Alright, it looks like they finally moved ahead and have allowed independents.

Years ago every vehicle had to go here to get tested, and it was a really long affair to get it done. Looks like they may still require diesel motors to go here though.
