It looks sharp. Bet it doesn't look that good when you get back. :twisted:

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Hah, likely not that good when we leave our lane. 1.5 miles of dirt road.

Looks good, and that dirt won't stick, at least for a little while.

When we lived in Cumberland, we would wash and wax the cars and trucks, then didn't have to move them, especially the Titan or the Charger. High Gloss Black, certain times of the year, they'd turn lemon yellow within an hour due to the pollen...

Then, of course, we had the 250 yard gravel drive and an hour drive to town on secondary and tertiary roads, so... that washed and polished look never lasted long. But under the dulled coat, the paint was still protected, and all these years later the vehicles still look good. Well worth the effort. 8-)

Glad you guys made it home safely, and had a nice trip. We used to fish Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel area, and Chesapeake Bay Bridge area, and Kiptopeake for the Concrete Ships. Tina had family in the Tidewater area as well.
