Just one last remark on this nose bra thing..... My van has had one on, from
day one, and I had it off just the other day (power washed it) as I was
doing my yearly wax job.....My front end is SPOTLESS... My rad is NOT blown
out (though the screen on the bra is showing some signs of wear from bugs
and sand)..... 2 very important reason why it's so nice under my bra :^)
.... It is not kept out in the rain where it is always getting wet & never
allowed to dry (it's kept out of the sun & weather under a
carport/garage)...... And #2...... as your mother tried to teach you
guys......You have to wash your underwear!!!!...... take the thing off and
clean any, pine needles, sand, or junk out of your bra..... You would think
you guys never wore one before.......Yes if you are so maintenance impaired
as to have never clean out from behind your bra......then you shouldn't wear
one.... send it to Ron.... to burn.... I'm out of here.... anyone going to
Sun & Fun... if you see a Beautiful Silver Syncro Westy (with a black bra...
sorry no garter belts) and Ontario plates and an EAAC sticker in the back
left....wave...If you pass over me... wave your wings....
