    HAHA...there is an old Toyota mini van that is always at the areas biggest Chevrolet dealership that has got to be the biggest pile. It has it magnetic sign on both sides. Next time I am there I will take a picture. The name of the company is Quality Detailing. The inside and outside are thrashed and it looks like its never been cleaned. Ever time I see it I just laugh.

    Thumbs up

    That truck is sweet!!!! well I have the same dilema I have a 95 Chevy blazer thats dinged up from winter 2 years ago... but I like that truck kinda classic.... I don`t think it will make a bad impression... I`v seen guys in brand new fancy rigs but the busiest guy i see drives a old beet up chevy van that looks like it drove thru hell and back and he is always busy... so if it runs good and is paid in full what the hell.. my opinion it won`t hurt business and it might even show you care more about being down to earth than flashy... I like it it has character!!!!

    You can say that again. I went looking around with my dad this weekend for a BMW for him. Even the BMW dealerships detail jobs are terrible. It looks like they just took rubbing compound and a wool pad to it then put out front, no polish. They all had a ton of swirls and buff marks

    That thing is awesome!!

    Just goes to prove...everyone serves as an example. Even if it is an example of what NOT to be.

    Now, if he could only get these horns mounted on the hood, it would be the ultimate finishing touch!

    It IS the truck from BTTF; (a screen capture from the movie).

    The whole BTTF thing is a running gag with my business. I like the way they equate being a Mobile Auto Detailer with being a failure in life. Look at poor old Biff, hew cleans cars for a living...

    I`m working in a white collar job that I hate and I consider detailing as my ticket to success and more importantly; happiness.

    So I`ve adopted the "Biff" persona and called the biz "Hill Valley Mobile Auto Detailing" just to prove that Mobile Auto Detailers are not failures in life.

    You know I feel the same way.. my full time job now is a Account Executive for a Mortgage Co. and hate it. I have detailed cars now in total for almost 10 years and was alot happier doing that full time.I love seeing a nasty car come in and leave looking showroom condition. Now It`s my turn, my choice to start this Co. And you know what I have no regrets and probably never will. So I say good for us life is to short to not to do what you love...

    Although Biff I would drive that truck if I had it. Maybe not with the logo but it does have character... Good for you Biff now I know I`m not the only one out there feeling the same way.. Good Luck with everything....

    Sorry for being long winded...
