OK! Here's the tire cover I'm working on for my Mojito Jeep that's on order. :)

Looks great but so much work. I never get far doing stuff in a round. It seems so fast until like round 10 and then I give up.

I have seen mention of the French fries a few times and am pretty sure you are the expert. So what's the best fast food French fry?
For fast food I like In-n-out. I used to love Chic-fil-a waffle fries but they changed their formula and the fries are terrible now and taste like cardboard.

You should have a paint shop just paint a giant band aid there instead

Oh nice, that is why you are the expert. I didn't even think about in n out. While I am not a huge fan of in n out in general, their fries are delicious.

I think the best is if you can get properly cooked Whataburger fries, add some black pepper, and use Whataburger ketchup. But it It is getting tougher to get good Whataburger now that a company from New York bought them.

I also enjoy Raising Cane's crinkle cut fries. But you have to dine in at Cane's. If you get them to go they get steamed in the Styrofoam packaging and end up soggy.

I like RC's fries but only at some locations. Depends on how long the cook them. Also the amount the give you at different locations varies. 👎

That is awesome, just sent it to the missus for an idea to make a Ninja Turtle one for the grand baby room.

Here is her tire cover that she is working on.

I feel like my spare is always covered in dirt, dust or mud so I don't think I could ever have a cover. I also have my license plate up there also.

A Ninja Turtle rug would be sweet. My nephews are really into Pokemon so last year they got these as presents:

I was worried about the cover as well but we are going to give it a try. @GinaC mentioned somewhere that you can just toss it in the washer once it gets dirty enough.

Those Pokemon are awesome.

Here is the Ninja Turtle himself. 😁

So adorable!

And yep, I have machine washed and dried mine several times and it looks brand new. I used 100% acrylic Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

With enough dirt, touch ups with a paint pen blend right in:

On fiberglass you might need a primer to get the paint to stay put.

My favorite topics are french fries, crochet and 30 minute comedies. If anyone wants to talk about those 3 things while we all wait for my paint can to arrive I'm all for it. 🤣
I like Arby's curly fries dipped in Arby's sauce. But my favorite would be, Wendy's fries dipped in a Wendy's Chocolate Frosty.
I've only had In n Out cheese fries, and I was completely disappointed. Absolutely a waste of money, and I love cheese. We went to an In N Out in the SW corner of the greater Phoenix area, while down there on vacation. Actually pretty disappointed in the whole experience. Maybe it was us, maybe we expected too much from the hype. Maybe it just sucks, guess there are a few up here now. Maybe someday I'll give them a second shot.


As to your hardtop, I've seen where a few used spray on bedliner/undercoating from an aerosol can.
