I took this photo as I played with my new D FA 15-30, and the shot proved one thing: I gotta get somebody over here to power wash the driveway!!

Well, compared to mine, it appears as though you just completed power washing it.

Thanks for a very nice image.

Hey, Ivan - this driveway makes switching cars around pretty easily on those occasions we need to do so.

Doesn't your photo editor have a 'driveway dinge' slider?

Looks to me like you have been laying 'rubber' on a regular basis on your driveway. Or maybe I just need new bifocals ?

No such luck; my PP runs on a very low budget.

Sure looks like that, but I'd never do it - the damn cars cost too much to risk it!

In the summer, our driveway may be one the five hottest places in North America

; so every time we come it takes some flesh off my poor tires.

I was thinking the same thing as Les! But you just have super soft performance tires that hate the Texas heat!

You may be right - all three cars have performance tires. Maybe the marked driveway is just punishment for our sinful ways.

Build a carport to cover the entire driveway to shield it from the Sun? I'm just full of 'helpful' suggestions.

Now there's an idea! It would make it nice to wash the cars - no big oak tree droppings, no punishing sun and no whistler ducks could hit their targets!

That is a nice, long driveway. It definitely looks like a challenge to keep it clean with all of that greenery surrounding your place.

It is that, for sure, Todd. I think it's been at least a couple of years since it was power washed.
