*WESTERN NEW YORK* because we don't seem to exist without this thread...

autoaesthetica · 11-10-2011, 01:21 PM

I posted on our facebook page that I was up at BlackForest today finishing the details on the winter preps... there is an 88 Lotus Espirit like out of a freaking time capsule - Thing has such low miles that the barrels of the wheels are cleaner than Hasek9339 LOL.

Charles, that wheel looks soooo good. Absolutely freakin amazing. I would agree a gazillion percent about the washing. Washing and drying seems so elementary it would be hard to mess up, but literally thats where basically all the damage comes from. While it wouldn't be protected, and would probably be still rough with some contamination, if more people took the time to change their washing habits, the cars would look so much better.

If its any fun, I just post here whatever pics I post on the FB page - at least its something shiny to look at.

Nic I sent you back last night BTW, can resend if we have another "hostage" situation.

Hasek9339 I got your message, and your message today.

I am burning midnight oil on this nightmare that has taken up every usable hour past couple days.

Entire newly purchased truck covered in this mess.

I will touch base tomorrow with everyone. Have a good weekend guys.

CJ421 · 11-13-2011, 07:52 AM

Wow Mike ... that truck looked horrible. There's not many vehicles on the road that are well taken care of but for one to get that bad ...

Also the car just hit 40k. so sad. I love the warm weather more time in the fast car rather then the good old winter beater 4 cyl.

Thanks!
I thought BMW will replace the turbos until 100K miles regardless of warranty status? Something to do with the recall. I could be wrong.
I don't think I would want to own a 335i out of warranty.

I'm in Dallas this week and have a shitty Impala as a rental. It's huge and the seats suck.

That is all.

I had one of those for a loaner/rental car once and it was such a piece of crap!!!!

Was there any other options! My Dad just had a 2012 Focus and said it was not too bad! I'll have to try one out!
I won't buy one ever! I really like the new Explorer but damn is that thing serious money!

Nick, this car is beyond terrible ... 2500 miles on it, pretty much new - rattles, etc. This is the "LT" model and there is not even auto climate control. Fake wood trim, cheap all around, no wonder American car companies are in trouble.

No other cars available except an even shittier Dodge sedan something, which I had before. Garbage.
I got a 2012 Hyundai Sonata a few weeks back which was actually quite nice and drove well even if the steering felt a bit artificial.
I'll have to try out that Focus. National doesn't have many Fords.

Charles,
As you describe the Impala a certain dong comes to mind..........!!!!!

What a song!!

autoaesthetica · 11-16-2011, 03:26 PM

I had to grab a Focus as a rental earlier in this season, it was pretty decent, a lot of room, which was nice. It was a base model I believe.

I had a customer who drove an explorer as a trial for a new vehicle mention to me the technology in them blew away some of the new MBs he drove.

Ford still cant seal a door worth a crap on their trucks though - Nissan surprisingly can..

autoaesthetica · 11-16-2011, 03:28 PM

oh and has anyone seen the tags on this thread. I lold

carrot · 11-16-2011, 11:06 PM

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any install shops for KW coilovers, in the Niagara Falls or Buffalo area?

I'm thinking of driving down to purchase and install. Thanks!

autoaesthetica · 11-17-2011, 10:22 AM

Without a doubt:

Blackforestmotorsport(.com)

or

Innovativetuning(.com)

Best place for an alignment in the region after the install is Licata's on Walden Ave - I will never take my car elsewhere for alignments.

Hasek9339 · 11-17-2011, 12:37 PM

Mike see you on Friday morning!

I demand before + after pics of the detail.

P.S. added some more tags to the thread lol

autoaesthetica · 11-17-2011, 07:01 PM

I have a feeling this tag box will become source of serious humor.

I will try my best to get some pics, hopefully no sideways flurries.

Hasek9339 · 11-20-2011, 03:28 PM

Got my car back from Mike! AKA AutoAesthetica

She looks great and is now officially ready for storage

Mike and his tactful eye managed to find a small ding on my drivers side fender... I didn't even know it was there at all! Ill get it fixed in the spring!

One thing that I am PO'd about if on Friday morning while I was driving to see Mike I got arguably my worst paint chip to date!! UG I'm a little pissed but Ill have Mike use his skills on it in the spring!

Mike do you have any of the "rolling" shots? I did I think about 30-35 MPH when you were taking them!

Thanks again Mike!
