We got the trailer ramps all set. They ended up being over 8 feet long, but they fit in the bed of the truck if we angle them from corner to corner. I figured my rear has a lower approach angle which trig-ed out to 13.5�°. But the SVT goes right up with out any creaking, unlike the set-up we used for the Cougar 2 years ago!

I washed the SVT yesterday (in the rain) and pulled her in the garage to dry her off. Then I need to start the detailing (Zainoing).

1. Z6
2. Z5
3. Let sit for 24 hours.
4. Wipe off with white 100% cotton towel.
5. Z6 again.
6. Z2
7. Let Sit for 24 hours, because I have the old Z2, not Z2 Pro yet.
8. Wipe off with white 100% cotton towel.
9. Z6 again.
10. Z9 & Z10
11. Z12
12. Z14
13. Z16

And the truck needs detailing.

i blacked out my b-pillars last night.
tomorrow i will be taking the SVT to Jess' brother in laws dealership to do the LCAs on a lift and get an alignment right after.
that means i have to charge the battery tonihgt (again).
and i guess i will wash the car next week.

Oh yeah. Would you like me to bring my battery charger for the trip? I'm going to bring everything to rebuild a car on the side of the thruway! hahah I only wish my tonneau cover was more secure so I don't have to lug all that crap into the hotel room!

I didn't get to order the Zaino products like I wanted to.

Ran out of time and cash. Looks like I'll be using Meguires over the weekend.
