[So, many of you have been following along with the tires for GRN ENVY thread. Marcus definitely appreciates the contributions so far, and let's keep them coming. Marcus details cars, and has since he was in high school. He has set up a special on his website, Home (http://www.macsautodetail.com), for forum members. This is all in an effort for him to have a shot at autocrossing Datawiz's Z06 for the rest of the season. So basically he will detail your car (hand job) at a discounted price, with all proceeds going to the cost of tires (rubbers). Below is the special from his website.]

Welcome Vette Barn,


I am known as GRN ENVY on the forum and as you may have heard, forum member Datawiz, has offered to let me run the rest of the auto cross season in his 2006 C6 Z06 in exchange for only one set of slicks.


Many forum members have graciously made donations to help me reach my goal for a set of slicks ($1,600). To those who have donated, if you are within my operating area, I will treat you to my Level 5 cleaning!


To help me reach my goal, I am offering a limited time promotion to any VetteBarn member in the Central Florida area:

Level 1: (handwash & cleaned interior): $25.00 (a $45.00 value)

or

Level 5 plus Clay Bar treatment: $75.00 (a $145.00 Value)

A level 5 cleaning includes:

Interior:

Vacuum all of interior
Clean and condition seats
Clean and condition all plastics
Shampoo Carpets
Exterior:

Wash car
Remove old wax
Remove any built up gunk (bugs, road tar, etc.)
Remove scratches if any
Apply a good coat of wax (your choice of brand)
Clean all door jams
Tire Shine
Address all faded plastics
Polish Rims and Exhaust tip (if applicable)

For members within a 3 hour driving distance of Central Florida, including Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, and Ft. Lauderdale areas, if you can arrange for three cars for the same day, I will be more than happy to make the drive out.


If you’d like to donate towards the cause please see the thread:

Please do not be alarmed, Marcus is rather short statured, wears brightly colored, clothes, and a pointy hat, as the name "garden gnome" implies.

How much would it cost for him to give us a head job?
























Assuming he can get the cylinder heads off my engine, as well as retorque them properly. Can he do that?

He was quite a help when i was finishing stangkillers engine and putting it back in the car, so i would say that he could

Yep, in fact if I remember correctly Stangkille nor Vetteman could get their hands in a few place, so they called the gnome in to get the job done

The crazy thing is depending on who you normally have wax & clay bar your car...line up a few cars for the weekend and fly his ass up there, it may work out favorably for everybody involved.
