Yepper! I hate when that happens.

...and it grew upside down too!

BTW - It's nice to hear from you!

Pictures 3 and 4....wow! Not only is it a mirror, but it’s a super rich, dark black. The wheels/tires and wheel wells look great. I think you sterilized that enough to have in an operating room.

Thank you. That is very kind.
Interestingly enough it was a metallic...not a gloss black.

"When I showed my son in the garage he said "it's so black it looks like a mirror".
Definitely way better than the day we bought it."

That's what I like to hear...better than "showroom new".

I’m sure the metallic will pop big time in direct sunlight. Nice compliment from the owner.
