[s-cars] RE: To ceramic coat or not

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

PK,

Glad you liked the movie.   Everytine my wife catches me
watching, she says she can't believe I'm watching it--AGAIN.

When I walked in the door holding the new DP she exclaimed-How
much did that cost me!  I make it sound worse than it really
is of course, she's pretty understanding.

It looks better running thru a dvd player to a TV (and with
sound running thru the stereo cranked up to 11-you can't hear
anyway-right).

I can tell my bro-in-law is pissed that I can get around 11
seconds faster than he can in his 540.

Can't wait to go again. I've got to figure how to get a camera
down low under the bumper without breaking the bank.
