3,649 miles

Drove down the shore (again) to pick up some more Zaino products at Shore Motorsports and to babysit my parent's home for the weekend while they spend some time out of the country.

I really enjoy the top-down experience... my initial topless drives were very nerve-wracking as I did not appreciate all the attention Leroy was attracting. Thankfully, those days are gone.

Three observations;
1) there were more soft-tops on the Garden State Parkway (GSP) with the tops up than down! I find that odd. In addition, I saw a lot of BMWs and Mercedes topless but with the side windows rolled up and the rear wind deflector installed. Why don't you just get a sunroof?!?
2) after six months of driving Leroy I finally saw another cooper *with the top down*. It was a beautiful BRG MCSC... and looking at it reminded me just how beautiful Leroy must appear. Obviously the driver and I exchanged waves as he sped past me.
3) I need to better protect myself from the sun. I must wear long sleeve shirts (buttoned up preferably) and stronger sun block. But I always use SP50... does it get stronger than that!?! Hmmm... as much as I enjoy topless driving, I equally detest looking leathery and dark. I prefer looking pale thank you very much. I need to research...

On last thing, I applied two coats of Zaino over the weekend... and all I can say is Ho-lee sh*t! Check out the pic!
