down the street from our house, 29 palms CA

Besides the great lookin' shots your son took of your car, the shots out in the Stumps are the ones that caught my eye. I was wondering what it might be like trying to keep that beauty clean out there in the high desert.

While it has been many years since I last passed through as a young Marine, back in 84 and 85, my Pop still has that sticker I got him hanging in his shop....."Where in the hell is 29 Palms?"

Later

 

ya living out here in the desert i clean this car as often as i can so it keeps it's beauty.

 

I hope you don't get many sandstorms out there. I know that in West Texas, it can be about impossible to keep paint on a car.

 

ive claimed one sand damage on my car already... i only had it for 3 months when i got hit by 3 nasty ones and my paint was dull as hell...and my cars black which made it worse. whole new paint job.
