• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hahah, get some of that cold bracing air and take 10 slow deep breaths.

Just go with it.

I didn't wash my Telly until after a month.

I almost didn't want to touch anything until the time was right.

I still leave my Telly dirty for a lot of time and it still looks good.

Camarillo gets dusty from the fields and the Santa Ana winds and driving up to see my family in NorCal once in a while.

As long as the front windshield, rear window on the lift-gate, rear-view mirrors, and headlight/foglamp covers get a quick wipe at every fill-up at the gas station, I'm good. I also shine up the Kia badges to let every badge snob know that "Yes, it's a Kia. Deal with it" ;)

It is a big, bold, boxy mid-sized SUV, category winner twice in a row, right?

Wide lines, masculine stance, finally a great looking Front-End on a car that we actually like, right?

This is why we chose this amazing vehicle over the others, right?

Dirt looks good on the sides of Dark Moss and it should also look good on Everlasting Silver.

I specifically didn't get the mud guards so that I can get a little dirt on her sides :)

Enjoy your dirty Telly and when you finally hose her down and get some bubbles going, it's almost like a long-awaited vacation.

So relaxing to wash one's car.

Even more relaxing than washing the dishes or chopping wood or whatever.

It's such a release when you finally clean her and see the results. Endorphins maybe? :)
So much sheet metal! Lol. It takes a lot to wash her.

It aint easy, but it's worth it!

Literally, I've had her for less than 48 hours and she's been attacked by birds that are clearly suffering from intestinal problems, and a storm that's doused her with pine needles and leaves. She still looks good.

Meet, Alexis.

My car is nice, but wish I could have seen the ES/DB combo before I ordered!

Love it, this one looks more grey than the other pictures which look more blue. Just the light that day?
Yes, it surely looks grey in some of the pictures. Pictures were taken about 7pm EST
