Way OT: Pics of theCEO's "fridge"

Not exactly a BMW,

TheBoss's '03 Honda CR-V...I Zaino'd it once when it was new, but other than that it has sat outside, on the Mtn, for the past 2 3/4ths years, with barely an occasional wash. It was getting to look buttugly dirty, (it comes pretty ugly as Std), so down here in SW Fla., I found a detail guy that didn't want 3 Bens to do it. Most of the Detail guys here are used to doing MBs, BMWs, Ferraris, et al, and think everyone in Collier County is a freaking billionarie.

So, for a Hundred, I got the CEO's car done the other day. We call it DaFridge, as its fine appliance white paint and "look" give it that 1960s refrigerator look.

It is one of my least fave cars I've ever owned and the quality is sorely lacking. Not Honda's best effort, imo, or maybe we just got a dud.

A good "change" for ya'll vs. viewing fine Xs and other assorted hi-po cars, huh?

Good Weekend to All.
BR,md

Somehow the "Upload" took forever and two pics of this magnificent car didn't make it.
A 2nd try:

Looks like they did a really nice job with it. Tell the CEO she now owes you a detail on your car

Even if you don't like the car, you've got to like the detail job. Way to go!

MD, great job on the Zaino job...DaFridge looks like it just rolled off the showroom. I tell you what it might not have the glitz and glamors of the X and others but the thing will run forever. It just about outsells everyother cute-ute out there in the market.

Edit: Nice freaking crib, MD. Nicely landscaped yard...you're living large!!

My friend's mom has a newer CRV... she let her other son put a coffee can muffler on it :

I like the driveway.

Looks great mD - good work! I always liked the design of this vehicle - just needs wheels and a cool dual exhaust system to be a neat little SUV. What did you use on the black plastic pieces? I really can't wait for spring... Love your crib btw, & the brick driveway too - very nice...
