neener neener, I drove both of my boys today! BoB to work, top down, Kenny from the dealer to work, top down. I let the boys commiserate side by side, top down, all day, then I drove BoB home, hitched a ride in Tigger back to work to fetch Kenny. Drove Kenny to the liquor store to restock, and did not let that imaginary smoke deter me from enjoying having my main K man back home...
The End.

What's wrong with washing and driving topless?  I didn't was mine because it didn't need it.  But I did drive it topless.  Not in a dress or to an interview.  Bit there was a mistrial.

Great weather in PA right now.

I drove mine down to the store, got lunch and came home.

I also changed my oil, but that I will post in the other thread since it is technical in nature.

I might wash it in a few minutes too. If I do, I will post that here as well.

That's when you have the most fun! Have a great time.

I will be washing my car later, but first I have to finish cleaning before a few of my fellow Kappa enthusiasts invade my home.

It all depends on what one is polishing.  If it is a body panel,  sure it counts, but if it's a knob, no, that does not count.

I drove mine today.  Didn't wash it because it doesn't need it.  It's perfect.  Just like me.
