This is so touching. Tears in my eyes after reading the article.

Some dust went in, methinks.

print your car number here. Check out the condition the next day. You wouldnt ask how to get one. :P

Touching!

P.S. I have a Jeep that needs paint and an engine transplant in case anyone feels like helping

Kudos to the Lotus Club members.
