Amid everything else that went on over the past two weeks, on the day we said goodbye to Bobo I received a (previously scheduled) early birthday gift from Ben: a full detailing on Rabbit.
Ben had this done on his car about a month and a half ago and after watching way too many professional detailing videos on YouTube I was so impressed with what they'd done with his Soul that I told him I was going get mine done too. "How about I make it an early birthday present?" I was reluctant to agree because it was kinda pricey, but he just said "Shut up," and made an appointment.
We were supposed to have this done the previous Saturday, but the shop was running behind and the owner offered to take a couple hundred off the cost and bump us up to the next level of service if we agreed to bring the car back later in the week. I mean, how could we say no?
I thought Rabbit was in pretty good condition when we took him in and wouldn't actually look that much different when we got him back, but damn if he doesn't just absolutely shimmer now. I know he got detailed before I bought him, but he didn't look this good.
They even managed to get the unknown stain out of the driver's seat that had been with the car since I first got it. And the interior smells so good now.
Gratuitous photo of a happy owner:
Are the pics in b/w referencing Sunset Boulevard?
Just wondering… mwg
