I'm hoping to have details on available dates for a detailing clinic with a pro...hopefully we'll know something early this week. If no one is opposed and there is an April date available, perhaps this could become our April meet??

I also used peanut butter (or even better, the oil that separates onto the top) on a Q-tip to get nasty white wax marks off. Now I've switched to a wax that doesn't leave th...

Would anyone be interested in a detailing clinic at an auto detail shop? I have a contact for a shop in Merriam (one that specializes in high-end rides) and could see what dates are available as well as cost if there is interest.

$38.51 was sent to you to re-register both domain names, kcminiclub.com and kcminiacs.org. Is that not the correct amount?

Spotted a CR MC with boot stripes (maybe bonnet, too...I was behind it and couldn't tell) at 75th and Metcalf, 5 PMish. I think the plate was GUTARST and there was an Italian Job sticker on the right rear window. Another large sticker on the boot might have been a silhouette of Elvis?

I thought so, too...but taste free would have been welcome! The chocolate fat free pudding cups had this nasty taste that was like diet soda, mold, sour cream and chocolate syrup mixed together. And to top it off, it was the kind of taste that lingers. Ick.

I had been looking at a Continental kit for the back but this is waaaaay over the top!

And just to keep this totally off topic, fat free pudding cups suck. :x

Em is right, sweats or PJs are fine. In past years, we've seen everything from jeans and Ts to folks headed to work in suits. It's an "anything goes" environment. And you don't have to come right at 6--anytime between 6 and 9 works. :)
