@Jimmy N. you do get to leave the farm! Hope you had fun :)
It was great fun. Did it almost on a whim after getting an email offering 25% off.

Of course, I knew I wanted to go back at some point - while they still have Challengers. No way would I enjoy it nearly as much if driving some oversized converted EV. They hadn't tracked one yet so I don't know how they compare, but the mechanics weren't fond of them. DSCN0395.JPG

I tried clay baring the windshield, that didn't help at all.
I took a light, a big magnifying glass and after i couldn't scrape it off, i determined with the corner of the razor blade it's a bunch of tiny pit's.
So i made an apt. with Safe lite to come out and replace it.

My HC is fine, mostly, but my 2 other vehicles that are at ~40K+ both need new windshields (Colorado roads are famous for pitting glass). But getting O.E. windshields is expensive.

I noticed my last 2 RAM1500 while each was only 3 yrs old...they both had over 130k..on the odometer..with substantial pitting...

I read about a few on here using clay bar. My car has always felt like it had sand in the paint. Said to myself, there's no way a piece of clay is going to get that out after all the times i have washed it an it's still there. I picked some up anyway when i saw it. Today i clay bared the entire car, (it was the worse on the hood, roof, trunk.) Sides were not as bad, but could still feel some on the sides as well. Low and behold it was much easier than i thought it would be. It"s slick as a baby's bottom now.
I think it even shines more, an i have not even waxed it yet.
Clay bars work very well. I have been using a synthetic clay bar by Griots for awhile now

Here up north, if you are lucky enough to avoid flying pebbles, your windshield will last long enough to get sandblasted and need replacement anyway.

Scrubbed my windshield and noticed all the pitting. So sad it happened. Time for a new windshield I guess that's a maintenance item

Took it over and actually parked it at a “show” for a couple of hours last night. It was a C&C fundamentally for about 35 cars registered for the Kannonball rally later this month but by the numbers others were also “registered” to show. Lots of BS fart can stuff, but within it was several cool machines that I am sure are going to be on the trip with us.

I’ll show a few pic’s as the event was fairly crowded so we know how that goes. Excuse most of them, this event was nearly smack in the middle of the area I refer to as New Somalia, which is represented by Omar. First pic is like the only one of my machine, I got parked in the “back”. IDK WTF was next to me, but it seemed to get more views, photos, attention etc than anything. I would have torched the bolt-on magnet myself. Them lots of Vipers which surprised me and a few other cool cars were scattered around.
