Gerty has also been known to show up for car shows and benefits... A local scout troop was having their derby car races at the same time/location as this car show and they voted on best vehicle, and presented me with a homemade scout trophy (which is one of my most favorite!) We hooked her...

You can call Gerty a lot of things, but Pavement Princess isn't one of them

I use a soap designed to kill mold etc on houses for a pressure washer (but in a bucket) and a scrub brush, rinse with fresh water and install to dry.

Those are 24v military convoy lights. I added them, then later I added the Eyecon MRAP Llight set. Convoy: Eyecon:

That, my friend is Sherwin-Williams Tri-Corn black in a flat finish. This is the truck a little over 2 years later, with only minor touch up on the paint (mainly high wear areas like the door step to get in and the exhaust stack where the heat got it.) (OH, and she's dirty in these...

Oh, there's gonna be some mankini glamor shots in the politicking thread! 😁😅😆🤢🤢🤢

Oohh. The trash talk starts.... 😁😆😅 @chucky I see you aren't the only one who trash talks... should I remind @Weldman about my nuns and orphans!?!?!?
