a clean car does pay off!

spent about 2.5 hrs cleaning my car last night and it was sparkling in this beautiful 80 deg MD weather. stopped by a Subway for lunch and when I came out there was like 4 kids standing around my ride. my first reaction is they were stealing my head unit or something, but then I realized they were just admiring it when I heard one of them say "sweet car". kinda sad that I get excited over middle school kids sweating my car... i would have preferred a couple 25 yr old chicks

well then i'll finish the story to make it qualify...
so these kids hopped in their Dad's Porsche GT2 and wanted to drag, so I smoked their *** with my 4 banger honda... it was awesome! i never realized how much HP gain i got from my CAI, must have added an extra 400 hp or something, AEM rocks! then they all got out of their car, bowed down, and made me their king. quite the "street encounter"

I just cleaned the interior of my car today, I got those Armorall Wipes, they appear to work really well. The exterior is still hella dirty from my road trip, I'll post the carnage when I get the pictures.
