cleaned the dust off the garage queen. (pics of my car)

I got some better pics of my car now that I have a quality digital camera. Its been in the garage for a while and I haven't been driving it much. Finally took a hose to it. I'm heard some good things about a product called "Greased Lightning" so I went to Lowes today and picked some up do scrub my garage floor. It's an all purpose cleaner but it says it removes grease stains. After pulling my engine, rebuilding it, doing the tranny swap, and opening up the auto tranny to find out what was wrong with it, I had an oil stain or two on my garage floor. It does pretty damn good at cleaning up stains, even old ones. I'm going to paint my floor with some garage floor paint stuff, don't remember the name though.

Looks nice, No rust. Now get rid of that auto tranny. Put in a 5 spd, and put the suto on a shelf and label it"In case of Road trip, use me".

We used some to de-emblem-ize a Neon once.
No noticable paint damage.
