    Employee Car Show - SO MANY SWIRLS!

    So we had an employee car show at my work a couple of weeks ago, and I was allowed to advertise and photograph because I was providing the winner with a gift card for detailing services.

    As you can imagine - the paint condition of nearly every single vehicle was horrible. There was one car (a 2013 Boss Mustang) that did not need correction work. It happened to belong to a friend of mine who came to me for advice the minute he bought the car, so he has been maintaining it properly.


    Here are some pictures of the good, the bad, and the ugly...

    My "booth"... pushing paint correction and CQuartz Finest






    2000 Mustang Cobra R (#207 of 300 ever produced)








    1965 Corvette - Won Best of Show and a $50 Gift Card to Attention to Detailing






    annnd the condition of the paint....




    Fun little Fiero


    ... needs work...




    Someone brought their time machine




    An old Caterpillar Model Ten Tractor




    I've always loved Evos




    This GT500 was almost brand new...


    ... but the paint would make you believe it was 15 years old.




    That was just a few of the pictures, but you get the idea.

    Yup, he's a friend of mine... he has adopted the proper detailing lifestyle once he bought that thing. He spent like $300 buying products from me and about had a heart attack, but I assured him it was all worth it. So far so good It's got straight pipes and sounds like a beast!

    Nice! Never heard of a work car show! My fellow employee's would bring their swirled out cars and some wouldn't even bring cars cause they don't own one, hah!

    Nice pictures too!

    Pretty neat that your Company had this Car Show!
    Good for Human Resources...

    Great coup for you!

    Nice!!!! I know those cars sound amazing with just about any exhaust. Especially when you get them near 8 grand on the tach.

    Is it DCT?

    DCT is weird to drive at first, but man when you are use to it.... As you said, bring those RPM nice and high and feel the power!

    The first time I drove one (e92 M3 coupe) was with the competition package over here in Germany when I was here the first time.

    Man let me tell you, get on the Autobahn, smash it through the firewall, and click off the shifts with the paddles as you scream for the governor. Whew, what a rush.
