What little custom touches have you done to your cars?

paaaaaaaaaa....tina, maaaaaaaaa.....tina, fraaaaaaaaaa....tina, laaaaaaaaaa......gwina!

This little car "bites" me all the time.....scratches my hands when cleaning in tight places, burns my leg when I forget about the hot pipes and yes, bangs my head with the quick jacks...almost knocking me out.
Being an RV'er and being aware of sharp edges on trailer slide-out, my wife came up with this idea.
Placing a piece of "water weinny" tube on the sharp edges, you know that colorful foam plastic tubing for use in the swimming pools. It comes in lenghts about 5' long and is cheap to buy.

Anyway, 4 - one foot long pieces of that tubing, with a slit cut into the side in a vertical direction, is then slip over the quick jacks.
The foam protects your car cover and your head.

WOW is January over where you live too?
Sorry for being late with the winners selection for the “best custom touches to your car” …

The intention here was to share some ideas for little upgrades that people can do to their cars while the long winter days and nights slowly crept by. While there were some fantastic ideas shared here, many of them were geared for modifications that should be done while “building” a chassis and not necessarily suited for a finished chassis wintertime modification.
That being said; photos, or links to photos could only have added to the presentation of any idea.
So, after all is said and done, here are the winners chosen by the judges: Myself, my Airedale puppy, and a dart board.
Please contact me directly for your previously stated prize of a complimentary personalized copy of the Smiths Dash Gauge Lighting Upgrade Information. Example photos of dash lighting are in my gallery and related discussions elsware on CC. If you don’t have Smiths gauges in your car, I'll owe you a beer instead…

(insert fanfare)

3rd place: - “JAMO” – Safety-wired fuel cap and best manicure.

2nd place: “Bernica” – quick-jack safety covers. (Hint: Photos of injurys would have made this one #1)

1st place: “RedBarchetta” - Clutch Reservoir & driveshaft safety loop. (i.e. Taking care of "Big Jim and the Twins")

Thanks to everyone sharing their ideas...

I am truley humbled and would further like to thank the Megan Medical Clinic for the stitches (should have taken pics), my lovely wife, my......what???, I have to cut it short?? But, but....

I'd like to take a moment to thank the Academy for this prestigious award, along with my producers, directors, bankers, dog walkers, ear and nose hair removers and all the other people that make my Red Barchetta sing.

Thank you very much!
