Edwards area is prone to dust, so be careful using a car cover. Tough to decide if it's better to risk the wind + airborne grit = abrasive buffing, or the occasional sandstorm. I recomend NOT using a car cover, just keep it clean and waxed. I never thought about sun being a problem for paint... I've spent most of my life in California, and spend a lot of time in the TOUGH places (like Edwards, Mojave, Death Valley, Vegas, etc.). But, being the type of fella who loves to keep my cars clean, have never experienced any paint loss/ degradation/ discoloration due to sun. I wouldn't sweat it. Thanks for your service to our country! |

Don't worry about a car cover. Keep it clean and waxed/polished. Mine has been outside for over a year and no problems. I was polish mine 2-3 times a year and wax 5-6 times a year.

Thanks for all the advice. Now I just need to know of a good paint shop because I want to get a hood and rear spoiler. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome, what will usually draw CHP attention to you is speeding and weaving in n out through traffic, and you can drive 5 over and usually they will leave you alone...

hey and welcome!!!!! i havent noticed CHP pulling you over for 5 over, but if you're weaving and stuff like that they'll def single you out. Go with the flow of traffic, and stay within 10mph of speed limit you should be fine. OH and CA also has this rule about drivers and passenger window tint, its kind of illegal so if you have yours tinted be careful.
if you want to get to know a lot of us come out to the Bakersfield meet in October. A lot of the SoCal family comes out for a weekend of fun, food and best of all Racing!!!!! |
