Hey, I could use some help attempting to clean my paint after somebody threw pumpkin all over the hood while I was gone at school for the day. Ciro or anybody, if you have any time this week to take a look at it or can tell me what to do help clean the paint... I'd really appreciate it.

I tried tar remover... did nothing, tried clay bar and nothing. Meguiar's Scratch-X got most of the residue off that was left on the car after washing it but marks still remain. None of the paint was removed but it looks like a sort of hazing is left on/in the clearcoat. Any ideas?
BTW... thanks Justin for letting me use the Scratch-X, seemed to help the most. I'll get it back to you ASAP.

Oh yea, and screw lame people that think its cool to F with other people's pride and joy. /rant.

I'm looking at getting some used from struts for the Daytona off TD.com. He has one set or rear shocks, the KYB Gas-Adjust. These are the only next best thing to the Konis. So they are a given, he tells me they have under 3k miles on them. The question is the fronts.

Mopar Perfornace Struts - "For Autocross" w/ 15K miles on them. Owner comments they are not nearly as loose as new replacement pieces but not a real performance strut. More like a "sport" thing.

Monroe Formula GPs- OEM Shelby from an older Daytona. Guys says they are ok. Saleen put these on the mustangs in the 80s as well. Has anyone ever heard of them? I can't find much on the net about them. From what I read they were the only other strut beside Koni reds Shelby used and the only one they used on Daytonas and CSXs until about 87.

I was thinking about making a big pot of chili and having some folks over to watch the game this weekend. I'm just gauging responses for now 'cause I might be at SP this weekend but if there's enough interest I can bag that. My TV has never been properly broken in so I figured me vs everyone else would be a decent way.

Note the registration so you can lock in accordingly.

I took the wife this past weekend because she's lived a half hour away from it for the last 6 years and had never been. Sorry, no fancy borders and signatures like all the cool people do. These are straight from my portfolio where they're dynamically resized so don't mind any fuzz the pics might have.

I can attest to how good this car feels. DEFINITELY a sleeper and feels very healthy at WOT in the ride-alongs that I did in it. The owner Dave was really meticulous about its care, always allowing it to properly warm up, performing all the maintenance, etc. It will put a big smile on somebody's face 8)

I don't think any of you guys would be interested in it, but if any of you guys who are registered on those forums want to throw me a few free bumps, it would be much appreciated!

I put a poll in my Daytona thread in technical discussion. I want to edit it to add another option but when I go to edit on the first post in the thread it does not show up as an option. HELP!

Great time killer...
