Ski Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 So I couldn't figure out the rear brake wiring for my Jeep and took it into the shop Friday morning, before my drive down to Blue. When I go to pick it up around noon, the mechanic calls me over to a corner of the garage and tells me he tucked my "stuff" under the passenger seat. I'm a regular customer of the place and they all know me pretty well. "Stuff?" I asked. "Yeah, Cole, you gotta be more careful," he whispers. WTF, I think, and go over to my Jeep and rumage around under the seat for what he's talking about. "D'oh!" I pull out a plastic baggie marked "100 grams", stuffed with a fine white powder that I always keep next to my quick edge tuner on my passenger seat. "It's ski wax," I tell my mechanic, who just winks at me, like I'm full of sh*t. Ironically, I have found it to be pretty addictive, but only if it's over 25 degrees. Keep and eye on eBay for it...there's two guys that sell comparable pure fluoros, but I like the Dr. D stuff better, plus he's from PA. I tested both at over 60mph and the Dr. D stuff was noticeably faster. On a typical weeknight Blue NASTAR course, it'll shave .5 seconds; on Montage's tuck course, it's easily .75 seconds faster. I use the 5-micron fluoro powder. Or just hit him up at: http://www.racewax.com/ (Go to "products", then click on "Fluoro Powder & MicroFibers") This is just an overlay that you cork on at the start area, but he's got equivalent low and high fluoro "hot waxes" much cheaper than the Swix I've been using, but there was no slightly funny story to go along with it.

skifreak Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I was going to change my name from skifreak to DaveK, but I figured that would be a bad idea. I hope I don't make you change your name to cisco1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they just have a like half a year without any rain, so there's major water restrictions? Karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifreak Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 He went to some waterpark and I forget where DaveyJ went. Missouri? If thats the case in AZ, I bet he's had enough time on his hands to eat a lot and now can't fit through doorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 more wars Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) haha dude... too funny. If you have 100 grams of anything that could possibly be a white powder, you wouldn't even bother fixing the vehicle, you'd just buy a new one Edited March 26, 2006 by 4 more wars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skimom Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I had to chuckle the other day when I pulled my bag of leftovers out in front of a bunch of people at a car wash. I figured trying to explain would make me look guiltier. So, I just smiled nicely at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RACEWAXdotCOM Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I pull out a plastic baggie marked "100 grams", stuffed with a fine white powder that I always keep next to my quick edge tuner on my passenger seat. 100 gms? That's nothing, I always have to warn the service guys (plumbers, etc.) that come into my place so they don't go talking around town about the scales, buckets of white powder, and the 200 pound barrel of powder in the corner. I expect to get raided one day. Well, I was looking forward to posting here (just found this place last week), but I didn't think my first post would be on this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. well ski it looks like you've just been kicked off of your high place as the tuning expert. Dr.D Ha, I just drive skis...Dr. D's stuff makes them go fast. I'm not sure I make a very good customer, though, since I buy lots of his stuff cheap and give it away to all my buds. Eh, but I have always said where I got it...
