Man u reminded me of the olden days ... my dad had a FORD CORTINA MK1 ... deep maroon-chocolate color ....

and oh my ... did we take care of it ... washing .... polishing with proper wax ... not the liquid shit.. the rims and the nickel platings on the grill and side panels were shines like anything ..

it was so much fun ...and in the end ... in the sun ... it used to shine like anything .. very beautiful car

cool found a picture in the net with the same color also .... :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

leave out the xtra fog lights ... and it is perfect !!

we had chrome rims !!

Looks like you get a loota brake dust residue on your rims.... Ever think about getting other pads like Repcos or similar that are harder and don't dust up your rims?

yeah, but I did not have the time when the brakes got real low, maybe when the rotors need to be changed.

That could be a while, huh?

That was one of the first things I changed out when I got my car... The factory pads are so soft. :bleh: Granted, they don't squeak, but having to clean the rims every week was a pain in the ass.

i can't believe how lazy you guys are.. cleaning the rims shouldn't be that hard! :usuck:

oh wait, i haven't washed my car in a month.. :rofl:

Well it isn't that hard, but to have to do it so often... The stock pads on my car would turn my rims black in less than a week. :bleh:

And besides, the harder pads fade less than stock pads. :D

oh wait, i haven't washed my car in a month.. :rofl:

:lol:

hmmm... you guys brake too much, i could get away with washing the rims ever other week.

You of all people should know that braking is the norm in stop-'n'-go SoCal.... ;)

i taught myself not to drive like a regular socal resident. :mrgreen:


i tend to coast to a stop. :victory:

I'm lazier then most of you guys probably when it comes to washing the car. I went about 5 months after washing my car the first time and I didn't even clean it all that well.....just wash, soap it, rinse it, dry it. And i didn't even get off all the dirt and all because i knew i was going to get it dirty again. My last time washing the car was about a 3 weeks ago and I didn't even was the top of my Durango. Thats being Lazy :victory:

i park on a dirt patch, everytime i go home, my car is dirty... :grumble:

It basically comes down to how much a car means to you... Like SubaruWRX, I'd wash my car every week if I had the time... ;)

hmm.....My Durango means me driving it for fun. Taking corners at this or that speed. ITs white too.....so me trying to keep that car clean will be hard, but not as hard as a black color car :sweat:
I'm sure once I am able to buy my own car, I'll treat it differently for sure, like me treasuring it like my Aya goods :victory:

Only if i can find that Mpeg of me in the snow :D

As i was told by my friend driving behind me when we were sorta "racing" I took this corner....one of those right turns....at like 35mph, it was kinda a sharp not really, but the car went on 3 wheels :hehe: :victory:

it's not hard but it comes back so fast..

I got new pads about 3 months ago.

And new tires about a month ago.

Yikes.

You're lucky you didn't roll that thing... :sweat:

haha I remember taking a Corner in the forester at around 40.. the right rear tire hit a sand patch as this coffee can was rolling on my side of the road.. so I swerve to miss it, and the tire hits the sand, LOL now I'm in a small dirft, I was like D*** should of had the camera with me!

it was pretty fun, I just gave it a little throttle to stop the drift.
