Detailed the Z06...
Normally I take mild compound and get all the black marks off the car, but I was bored and kept on going. Buffed the car with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound then waxed with NXT (couldn't find my Rejex). Turned out nice for a 120,000 mile car. If I'd never made it a racecar you'd never know it had miles on it. Turns out the mild compound cleans up the white graphics and makes them bright again.
Shopdog wanted to lend a hand but his lack of opposable thumbs didn't help much...

Looks really good, probably goes faster too.
I see the little old lady next door sent her cute little doggy over to keep you company.

I know what you mean...I always thought I was a big dog guy...but when my folks got the Chihuahuas...there is just something about the little dogs, and the personality and energy they have...
Car looks good BTW

That is a pretty cute doggy, I'll give you that. Looks like you take it to the spa too, all shiny and well groomed.

^ GF gets him groomed every few months. The have hair (vs. fur) so they don't shed and it needs to be cut.

I think part of it is that your typical Yorkie owner doesn't try to train/discipline the dog... they just want a little buddy. I trained him from 7 weeks as I would a lab. He knows his place in the "pack" and is very mindful of me (he doesn't listen to my GF at all). I've only gotten him to sit and lay down with any real success. He will come to me when called, but not instantly like a well trained lab. Getting him to stay is tough, but I didn't push him too hard on this one. |
