Sitting in sunny Indiana writing this!! The trip was really uneventful. My car made it other then a nasty rock chip on the front :( gonna have someone look at it but it's my daily driver so this is gonna happen! The car itself wasnt that bad to drive in, not as comfortable as my Jeep SUV was but okay. The roaring of the exhaust is still rumbling in my ears tho

I did have a man ask me at the gas station if I had NOS in it. I had to tell him that it was my 5ft long snake's tank in the back seat he was looking at...yea that freaked him out, lol!!!

You can get good touchup paint from paintscratch. I know you're a "car-girl" so I know you can do it.

Just prep the area with alcohol.
Paint.
wetsand with 1000-200 and using polishing compound. Should look perfect.

(This is what I do..my Summit White gets chips easily).

Why the move to Indiana?

Glad to hear you made it okay. Do you have any pics of the snake? If so, let's see them.

I have some touchup paint but this "chip" almost looks like it crinkled the paint...I'll have to look at it harder. I was in hurry when I washing it. The reason for the move is to be back with friends and family. Moved to florida a year ago to escape some demons and now it's time to face them...

and as far as having pics of the snake, I have one pic of her here in my tat albums. No recent pics tho. Was going to take some not long ago but she was in a shed.

Glad your trip was uneventful and you made it safely.

I can see the dude's eyes "Hey Lady, you got NOS? Nope just my 5ft snake" lol

Yea I hear that a lot but Florida isnt what people think...Traffic is awful, people are rude and that's only the ones you can understand, everything is commercialized, local food sux. The beaches are nice but they get boring very fast. The weather is good in the winter but its been in the 90s since April and now its the rainy season and rains every freaking day. Plus I'm a country girl. I'd rather work on my car and go fishing then go shopping or lounge by the pool. Went for my first drive in my camaro tonite here in Indiana. let me tell you, it was fantastic! Scenery was breathtaking, no traffic, friendly people waving....

Glad to be home

I'm a bass kinda girl

Not crazy about saltwater fishing..besides you do any fishing in florida, you better watch out for alligators. No thanks
