I don&#8217;t particularly enjoy washing, waxing, vacuuming, shampooing, or doing the other things that make a car look great, but it feels pretty good to know that it is being maintained in the best condition possible. Waxing a car is a tedious, time consuming process, but when you wipe away the haze to reveal a mirror-like finish and see a previously hidden depth exposed, it is all worth it.<br \/>\nMost of you don&#8217;t take the time to wash and wax your cars yourself, and unless you do, you won&#8217;t understand the exact <i>feeling<\/i> I&#8217;m talking about. No, taking your car to the car wash won&#8217;t accomplish the same thing.<br \/>\nSince I&#8217;ve returned to the States, this is the 3rd car that I&#8217;ll be involved in selling. I&#8217;m getting it into the best shape I can before it&#8217;s going to be sold, as I have done with the previous two cars.<br \/>\nOn another note, I know I haven&#8217;t been posting any great posts or new pictures lately, and I apologize for that. Give me a bit more time to figure things out and to regain my equilibrium while I develop my focus. I&#8217;ll be working on it, even if it isn&#8217;t apparent right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like my brother, I get a real sense of satisfaction from keeping a car in good condition.
