    Gas prices are climbing

    Here in Central NJ, now varies from $3.50 - $4.05 per gallon. Going to store my '06 V8 Explorer Limited, and get out and wax the bicycle for any trips to the store within 5 miles or so. No more "Sunday drives" !

    Just curious as to what your favorite wax is ? I'll clay bar the cars in another month, to remove "winter crud", if there even is any on the cars. Had my wife's MKS in for service at the dealership the other day, and een the salesman said the car looks like brand new, even though it is 2 1/2...
