The wife is starting to come around to the logic of this older car, just barely, but hey dear we can always take your car dear, you know, the one that has depreciated 40% or more in 3 years or right about what I paid for the Fiesta.

LOL females! Can't live with Em, can't live without Em. And thanks, I think I'll pick a few gallons of it up sometime this week. I don't have a pressure washer but, I have one of those things that go on a garden hose that turns it into a 'pressure washer'. It seems to work ok, it should be enough hopefully.
