Taking the Metro

So after living in LA for more than 10 years, I am on the Metrolink for the first time. Oh, and I am posting this using my Droid Incredible as a modem from my laptop.

The M5 is finally ready, so I am going down to the OC where Premier is to pick up the car. And since logistically it is just way too difficult to be driven down all the way from LA, then drive up in two cars, I found myself on the Metrolink as the easiest option. That is, of course, after taking a cab from my place to the Union station, since the train leaves at 8 (obviously for commuters).

Hopefully I can wrap up the Bt install quickly and be on my way to Chick Fil A and then back to LA.

I'll post some pictures of the M5 when I get it.

Some pictures with the HTC Incredible. Haven't had a chance to break out the D90 yet.

No swirls, period. The entire car is covered by clearbra. It really looks very teh awesome, and when the car gets dirty, I just need to wash it by hand and never worry about swirls!

I'd still be careful when washing it. If clearcoat can scratch, I would imagine so can the clearbra material.

This is very very true, I know of many people who think the clear bra protects. They started to apply some pressure to scrape something off, ended up making a small scratch. Though, some of the new clear bra's are very durable.

Btw, car looks great. always liked that body style.
