Just Checking in.....

It's been a little while, but all is well with me and my Solara. Celebrated my fourth year in January; running about 136,000 miles; riding on a set of NEXEN tires since December and really enjoying them. No problems to report. Happy Spring, Everyone. -Anon, formerly known as Jimmm.

I was wondering where you went. In other words we miss you. :wink:

I've been waiting to hear from you, Yadda. I can always get a chuckle out of your comments. How's married life, my friend?

GzNutz, thanks for the welcome; it's good to check back in after such a long while.

DSM_Lara, it's good to be missed. Thank you.

DriDed, it's hard to compete with yours, so thanks for the props.

Mr_Krispy, Thank you. I appreciate you too.

SolaraPete, I am still a clean freak about the Solara. I hand and bucket washed it inside the garage all winter. We are now just getting over the pollen season where it gets daily covered with a layer of yellow pollen. Lucky for me, it doesn't show up so badly on a Desert Sand Mica and the shine still comes through. I do also put the hand dust mop on it every night.

1gSE, thanks. It's good to feel welcome from all you Solaraguys.

Thanks, DSM_Lara. My last name is Donaldson, so I am not the DON; rather I am the son of the Don.

Looks like you removed the tint...? Or maybe its just the lighting playing tricks on me...

Oh yes, SolaraPete, the tint has been gone for a long time now. It was too dark to see out of at night and after I got stopped by the police, even though it tested legal, I got rid of it. The shop didn't charge me anything to remove it.
