Personally, I'd leave the decal off.

Nice shift knob.  Does it get hot after parked under a bright sun ?

PS Vett

Mine gets hot under the sun and cold in the winter.
JPM can make a coozy, similar to what you put a beer bottle or can into to keep the beer cold if you want.

Over the past 2 days they repaved my road.
I am curious if that will help the approach angle between the driveway and street.

Use Poorboys' Bug Squash, they'll wipe right off :D  :buff:
Yeah I have a bottle at home I bought last year. Never really had the need to use it though as usually get to them right away and detail spray usually does the trick. Not this time though...   :D

When you coming down my way...
Here already (Avon Park) after driving overnight.  We passed thru' Jacksontown this morning around 9-9:30am.  I waved - did you see me?

Oops..I did something else today. Washed and waxed her again and got a radar detector. (not that I would speed or anything like that! :))

If they raised the street it will.

You washed and rolled your niece?  I'm not sure she appreciated that, nor is that a good way for her to make a good impression at potential law schools.  Additionally, it may be disrespectful to her and the monuments.
