  • nfb: guess what i took delivery of today?

    brand new, 2006, Chevy Express 3500 15 passenger van. leasing it from a company for our van pool. the company foots the bill.all i have to do is be 'caretaker" and driver.....(but i have a backup driver for the afternoon....) makes my commute free and i get to use it for local errands and driving on rainy days (keeps the gto clean in the garage.)

    our old van pool company fell through on us.. i managed to find out about this new guy just starting his van fleet, we are only van #2 for him.

    she's navy blue, and loaded......

    cant believe the dealer turned it over to him, and he turned it over to me..with only 40psi in the rear tires.. with the roll over problem being such an issue on 15pak vans...........NHTSA is all over the industry about it..as we are at GSA Fleet....... 40 friggin psi folks........... 80 is what belongs in those rear load range E's......says so right on the door plak!!!!! idiots!!!!!

    got er ready though... even put a Zaino Show Car Polish sticker on the back window...... cause guess what? im gonna give her a few coats to make her look reeeeeaaaaaaallllllllll nice.!!!! that should take a few hrs.....LOL

    laters.

        Zaino ought to decrease the drag coefficient enough to pick up a few tenths in the MPG arena. Maybe you can get Sal to throw in door decals too.

          Wolfie, only you would put Zaino on a 15 pass van!!! Like shining a garage door!! Funny thing is though, after using the Zaino myself, I seem to have a lack of other car care products on the shelf anymore. Used to have meguires and mothers all over. I threw it all out when I tried Zaino!!! So I'd be in the same boat, cause I don't have anything else...

                Zaino on the work van ehh? Yep, it's official, he's committable. What's next Zaino on the neighbor's vehicles.

                  hey guys, navy blue metalic... and remember, im the "caretaker" of this thing, that means its supposed to remain fairly clean......... now what better way to cut down on wash time than a couple of coats of zaino for protection? im not going to use zfx, ill use up my old bottle of z1 and my old bottle of z5.....

                  should look pretty good after that... LOL

                  doing the roof should be the fun part........aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

                    That's the worst part on my Tahoe. In between the luggage racks. Not too bad though....I just rub it on/off lengthwise.

                      Hmmmm....I can just guess how the conversation went when the car-pool people were deciding who to make the car-taker for the van. "Ok, who wants to take care of this thing?" "I'll do it!" "Ok, but remember, you will be responsible for keeping it clean." "Oh......nevermind." "That thing is huge...I'm not cleaning it." "Me niether." "Who, oh who, would be anal ( ) enough to keep this thing and keep it clean?........Ken! He uses all that Zaino stuff....I'll bet if we let him keep it he would have that thing shining like a Corvette 24/7, insie and out." It was an obvious choice. Always lend your toys to the kid who keeps all of his in the original packages stacked neatly in his toybox.
