At the Ranch 99 to pick up some hot sauce after morning testing in SC Mountains. Unsprung weight loss let me soften the shocks a bit more. Absolutely great what a 9.5# reduction per corner does for the suspension.
Interesting/Fun sidenote: Was underhood in the Alice's Restaurant parking lot doing the adjustment and these two guys exiting the restaurant to their bikes asked if I needed a hand. "No thanks, no issues, just making some shock adjustments."
Guys look at me.... "Wow, man, that's some serious sh*t..."
Me: (pointing to scuffs on bumper) "This ain't no show car." Laughter all around. This is what I love about gearhead-to-gearhead meetings of happenstance.
I had a not so great experience trying to say hello to a dude in a z32 at a red light yesterday. I towed the guys car a few weeks ago and happened to be at a red light next to gim on the way home from work. So I yelled over to him glad to see you got her running again. I got completely snubbed...
Today a dude driving down the street the opposite way in a Z33 waved to me so that made up for it I guess.
So for my contribution I was leaving city hall after paying my property taxes today a little bummed from paying taxes because they do pretty much suck. But looking at my lovely car kinda cheered me up so I snapped a pic... Too bad my bill was still in my hand and covered half the phone lense.

Let the snub go..... some people just drive Zs. Then there are the people who LOVE their (and others') Zs and it shows.
I wave to other Zs - but selectively - the ones that are obviously modded get the nod for sure, others I have to get a view of the driver first. Pretty young women...that sort of thing. Heh heh. J/K.....
Oh, and.... great pic dude. Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa.....
Just to make sure there's no sibling rivalry (read: bish sessions between my cars in the dark garage at night...I know they talk... ), thought I'd post up what my other car is doing. Happy to report that it is doing juuuuuust fine after its elective surgery.
More on that later when the entire "procedure" is done and the scars have healed. (Read: after I'm done with testing....)
It was just funny. How do you not notice other cars around you. I wave to all tow trucks because thats a thing I wave to people who wave to me and I talk to people when they want to chat.
i still wave at 350s, when i wave at vettes it is half and half if i get a response. more than anything it is respect for car enthusiasts

Word(s).
On that note and speaking of car enthusiast respect, Trav, I was talking to a guy in the bakery parking lot the other day. He was driving a C7 Vette. Suhweeeeeet car.... but I still can't quite get used to the taillight treatment. The front is ulti-sexy though.... whew.
Do people keep a gap in the back of the hood for ventilation or is that because something under the hood doesn't clear or ? Ive been seeing that a lot lately. I should embrace the gap because my hood doesn't line up perfectly, its like aI 1/4 off on one side and I drilled the hinges about as much as I was willing to live with.
Im not posting a picture of my car after that one lol
