Careful-this looks painfully like Mr. Superfluous' kind of thread. You're a rough and ready kind o'guy...
Oh and my car? The top is perfect and the bottom is covered with oil...  What poll number would that be??

My Cobra is a little rough around the edges (number 4) but she was built in 1980. I think that is over 200 in dog years but I'm not sure about Cobra years.  I'll have to call Peter at ERA and find out what the conversion factor is.

Tony you must not have a FE engine or you wouldn't have to ask that question.

I usually like to hit the high spots with instant detailer before I take off. Where I live, you won't go more than a few miles without bug splatters anyway.

That's funny. He's probably out in the garage trying to decide. 
I guess for those of us whose cars are beautiful on top but oily on bottom, I should have added a "Gulf of Mexico" option. |

#'s 2 & 4 for me. I'd rather be driving and enjoying it than worrying about
show quality cleanliness so I mainly hit the high spots and drive on. Got a lift
for the Kirkham so no problem keeping the bottom relatively oil free - just
enough to discourage rust. Heh heh.

I do WD-40 the aluminum and smoke out the garage to kill the mosquitos.
