Re: What did you do to your 'Hawk today?

Today I gave my Hawk an overdue bath. I've been using the newer liquid wax from Meguiar's (the Ultimate version) and it seems like it's working out pretty well so far, better than the NXT 2.0. Tomorrow the interior gets worked on, then next week it'll be time for an oil change.

Re: Number of miles put on your firehawk a year

Just wondering how many miles everyone puts on their firehawk a year and if its a daily driver or if it just sits in the garage most of the time? I bought mine on New Years Day this year and I've only put about 1k miles on it, that includes the 250 mile drive from Dallas back to Tulsa, so roughly 7...

Two year anniversary

I posted this on the FAOA Facebook page earlier. I forgot to mention it's been two years since I first signed up on this forum too. --------------- Today is the 2nd anniversary of my purchase of my Firehawk. Bought it with just over 63k on the odometer, today it reads a bit over 80k. It still brings...

New Meguiar's Ultimate Wax & Polish

Has anyone tried these out? I saw this at my local Wal-Mart along with their Ultimate polish and wanted to get some opinions on them.

My Second Show Experience

On the last weekend of April I entered into another car show. Unlike the last show, this one was open only to Pontiac vehicles, thus making for a smaller competition than the previous show I entered. I got parked and paid my entry fee. There were some other Pontiac owners there that I've become acqu...

Re: Entered My First Show

I've encountered rude people at shows too. I entered a show and since my car had a blower on it, I was put in the highly modified class. I knew I had no chance to win anything but I stayed anyway, touched up my car, put my trophies out and sat down. A woman (wife of a guy parked next to me) asked m...

Re: Entered My First Show

Congrats. I used to enter a lot of shows with my Mustang back in the day but stopped. I came to realize that not always the best cars won (depending on how the judging/voting was done and how the classes were set up), some shows were very political (it was all about who you knew and who liked you) ...

Re: Entered My First Show

Thanks PontiacFan, I appreciate it. Yeah, there were several great looking vehicles there. I think best in show went to a 1915 roadster made by White Automotive. Never heard of them before but it was a fantastic looking piece of history. Ouch on the Camaro. That's pretty horrendous. I have photobuck...

Entered My First Show

I decided to bite the bullet and enter my first car show. The competition was being held at a local church not far from where I live and was heavily publicized. Approximately 200-300 vehicles showed up. I arrived on the day of the show and paid my entry fee. The parking attendant was a nice older ge...
