Ghd used to be a local shop that let you do all the body work,

I've never had a vehicle re-painted....even though I've had a
couple 10+ years.

I decided to wax my 7 year old truck the other day for the first
time
since I bought it. It's a metallic grey with a clear coat.

After carefully washing it (that took about 45 minutes), drying
it off
with a chamois that took another half hour and then the wax on -
wax off
by hand for well over an hour it makes you realize that a F-250 is a
large truck.

After it was done it really didn't look any different or better than
before I started. I think the paint and clear coat used on vehicles
now-a-days (even in 2008) are far superior than the paint of past
years.

I like Ford trucks. This one should last me for a while longer.
I've
had it since 2008 and it just turned 32K miles.
Wow! You drive less than I do.
28 month old Toyota Highlander has 22000km.
My 2009 RAV 4 had 44000km when I traded it at 4 years.

25% of those miles were attempts at backing your rotting aluminum boat
into the driveway. Deduct that and you certainly spend a lot of
time doing...nothing.

Must be Halifax waters. I saw some Legends, older ones, on my last
trip to
BC. Still going. Not a great looking boat, but is a boat.

Recreational boaters, according to Don, are allowed to dump raw
sewage into the
harbor. Maybe that's causing the rapid deterioration of his boat.

Troll.

No, that is a true statement.
