Ellis, I have to start my year off by pulling the wheels off the car and scraping a few pounds of rubber out of the wheel wells. About 1/2 way through the season I do it again. Amazing the amount of rubber that gets built-up in there.

Now, maybe, just maybe, once or twice a year I will wash the car. I did wash it already this year though and several people took pictures of me doing it because they couldn't believe their eyes!

I've been following Ellis around the internet posting my pics also.

This will be the first time I've cleaned the rubber off since I bought the car in 2001. I didn't have as much as Ellis due to the mudflaps I put on.
