BTW I bought a foo-foo duster like the one you had at AutoFest. It was on clearance at Target. As a matter of fact, stock up on car-care stuff at Target - they're getting rid of last year's stuff and I'm sure it's just fine. I bought a whole complement of Meguiar's stuff.

I really need to go to K-Mart and pick up some "Back to Black." It's a "restorer" that brings the black, back to your plastic and rubber trim. The plastic piece under my windows is really beginning to look ratty. It looks fine as long as I can pour the armorall to it, but, I don't think that's really good for it. Although, I've not personally used "Back to Black" I've heard it is an excellent restorative -- we'll see. Speaking of Meguiar's, there is a product I never see in the stores, "Meguiar's Plastic Bumper Restorer." I used to use this on those big bullet bumpers on my 80 Spitfire (All black plastic covered) and it was EXCELLENT! It would, in all liklihood work well on my black trim, but, alas, I can't find it. The only reason I had it before, was, because a friend of mine used to work for the Meguiar's plant in Tennesee and had a stock of it in his garage. Glad to see you finally give in and bought the "California Duster" (sounds SOOOO Much better than "foo foo duster"). I don't think you'll be disappointed, especially since alls you'll have to do is swipe the garage queen down now and again to keep her clean after washing.

What year is that?
One detail I forgot to mention was the guy taking money at the car wash. When I rolled down the window, instead of taking my money, he was busy walking around the car.
'Somebody just asked me what kind of car this is, and I couldn't tell them,' he explained. 'What year is that?' Next time somebody asks me, I'm going to tell them to guess.

Justy facts madam...justy facts
<The Swift GT, are those 1.3L's pumping out 100hp turbocharged?> VK: Thanks for the reply! No...no turbo. Just two cams spinning quickly. When I get home this evening, I will post a website that is FULL of tweeked Swifts. Motor Trend worked on one with NOxide a few years back that set a record for their handling course at the time. Unlike the Turbo Sprint 3 cyl, mine has 4 with 4 valves per. The redline is up there in S2000 territory; it STARTS at 6800rpm...winds even higher if a certain red wire is cut.
The car is a lot of fun; I have 154,000 on the original clutch! Thanks for the input! Don

Geo on drugs
<Cool site, Don. The Swift IS a Geo on steroids, right?>
Yeah....I wish I had the extra bucks to invest in some of the cool upgrades available for it. It would make a great little autocross machine... Don |
