I drove the wagon out to Tucson, AZ a couple of weeks ago to leave it out there at my parents' place for the year since it's nice and dry.

I gave it a good detail on the inside before storing it. The exterior photo is from a few weeks earlier when a friend of mine who owns a shop detailed up the outside for me. I think it looks pretty good for 168,000 miles.
EDITED: to add a couple more pictures.

And the new angled flange TME downpipe just installed before the drive out West. I love it and no more SAS!

Exterior detail is sharp. The dual exhaust looks sexy too. Arizona winters are a lot better then the New England winters!

WOW man that is super clean, you got one nice wagon.

And CUDOS to you for storing it up on jack stands, i've seen buddies leave them sit for a year and ruined perfectly good tires.

Thanks so much for the compliments. I will post up a front end shot shortly...forgot to add one of those. I do indeed have E-code jewels on the car but no R bumper.
I've been lucky that this car has had only 1 owner throughout its nearly 12 years.

I ran into Will on the highway when I was on my way to a job in NY the day that he was leaving for the drive to AZ...it looked SO good rolling. Of course he was so courteous as to downshift to 3rd gear and hit it for me too :wub: .

Thanks again guys. Yes there's Xpel on the headlights and foglights.

I'm not sure exactly what happened to the hazard light switch. At first I thought the clips had broken like usual but when I tried to install another used one I had sitting around it wouldn't even pretend to click in to its seating. I'll figure it out next year.

Oh yea and bumping into Ben in the work van was hilarious! He called me and was like "I'm driving next to you." I looked around for his 850 and was befuddled.
