    lost 45 HP last week

    Well it's and end to an era... YES, the hoegaarden is officially gone...last week we had a really nice 85 degree day and I decided to pull the car out to "undrees her"... I have had the stickers on the car for at least 2 years and thought they would be a bitch to remove... they came off with ease.. with the warm weather i simply used my thumb nail to start the sticker and most of them pulled off in 1 piece...The gold "hood emblem game me some problems but really nothing but breaking into smaller pieces(possibly the engine heat)... it was crazy...There was no residue left on the car... You could barely see where the stickers were right off the bat...You would have to look to see any marks...I had kept the car in the garage and waxed all the time..after a wash and wax you couldn't tell at all... I did leave the hoegaarden "roundels" just for fun, and so some people in the area could tell it was my car... I will post some better pics... my camera ran out of batteries..
    The past few years has been really fun, especially driving around the city the way it looked... the looks on people's faces while driving through down town seattle were all accross the board...I would mostly see the "WTF" look sooo many times also I would get a bunch of thumbs up ... the best part of having the stickers on the car were the kids faces...They would get so excited and point all the time... the best were the kids in the back seats of cars, faces all squished up against the glass.
    Well cheers to and end of an era, but to the start of a new adventure.. Tony

        Why'd you remove them? Just tired of the look?

            Sad to see it go, but I was knew this post would come after you told me about it when I was up for the picnic last year. Oh well. Are you going to leave it plain or do you have plans for another scheme? Shark boxes? :)

                        Damn, it looks so plain now! I still like it.

                        It must be quite a change for you too.

                              T -

                              We've discussed it before, but turning the traditionalists on ear is good fun & maybe that's why I liked the Hoe ride, but silver varient M3's just look great like they came from the Motherland. Personally, I like the white ones done up (like Vlad's), but any other color just seems more pimp when left fairly stockish. Gotta keep the Hoe 'roundels' though - they fit the detent so well & are just cool.

                              Really like the wheels BTW - hope you plan to leave 'em be.

                              Are you still with the distributor? Plans for a different branded scheme in the works?

                              It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
