What have you done for your Z today?

Yeah, KISS is definitely my usual go-to, but I think I got caught up in the how-tos re: the bad shock mount gasket and got stuck in the hemming and hawing mode. Finding out that the clunk was coming from a poorly mounted tail light assembly was a happy accident.

I called the wife to tell her about the noise being gone and her only response was, "And how much did you spend trying to figure all this out???"
I've been trying to convince her that the onset of the clunking noise and my suspension upgrade were unrelated, but it's clear she doesn't believe me.

"It's not about how much money was spent. IT'S ABOUT NOT LETTING THE TERRORISTS WIN!"
At that point she usually rolls her eyes and just walks away. It's awesome.

YES! Didn't the President tell us to go shopping the day after 9/11? Your words are wise, my friend.
6 inch cawk is my fave!

Some of the snow melted off mine today, heat wave. Got a Dr's appt tomorrow, if I live through that maybe I'll finish up my sway bar polish job.
Got a ball joint adapter kit coming in the mail hopefully that shows up one of these days.

Hey, Mic.. Zak..(and others) I was thinking about this comment I made yesterday, and I would like to apologize for it. I understand that some of you guys are from Asian decent and that this could've come off the wrong way.. I meant no disrespect by it. That was just one bad occurrence out of a hundred good ones, and since it happened last month it was just fresh in my mind.. So again. My bad.

No offense taken, I'm not one of those that take such comments in the wrong way. Some others, less secure about themselves, might, but I don't. There is prejudice and there's lots of closed minds everywhere. Were I to take such things over-seriously; those things I cannot change, I'd be in a rounded padded room with anxiety disorders.
Appreciate the thought though.
I prefer to look at things from a more humorous, however bent, perspective as you can tell from my first comment.

ALL restaurants can have roaches, some just take advantage of the fact.

Oh, that's just me, you haven't heard from others perhaps more sensitive.
Zak? Oh wait, maybe not, you didn't insult bulgogi n' kimchee. Heh heh....
Besides, with the comments I've been making, I'm sure any ire at the mocking of my kinds of peepholes will be directed at ME.

Now if you had mentioned something about me being a low-life Haggis eater, what with my being half-Scottish and all, I would have been highly offended and would have challenged you to a duel.

That's very big of you, and is appreciated. But having spent a huge chunk of my life living in Asia, I can assure you that there are many things on the plate when you go out to eat on that continent. Menus are more "suggestions" than anything else, especially once you get out into the sticks. I've eaten dog (unbeknownst to me until after I ate it) in both the Philippines and Korea. I've eaten bugs in Korea and Thailand; probably in the Philippines as well. I've eaten whale in Japan at a sushi restaurant (again, unbeknownst to me until after I ate it) and I've ingested stuff that would certainly not pass inspection over here, but I'm still alive and kicking and so are billions of other Asians. Yeah, it's a stereotype, but to be honest, speaking as a half-Asian local-living brat with family all over the world, I think it's an earned one. No offense taken.

Well, good. I'm glad that I cleared that up with you.. And maybe that's why you seem so smart, because you ate all that weird(cough) culturally diverse food.
- I had to look this up btw.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis ..I love how they describe it. A "savoury pudding" ..Mmmm, sounds delish.

Thought this was going to come out better, not bad but probably won't ever make it on my car unless I scuff it and repaint it.
It was a fun 5+ hours though...

Why yes, yes I is.
Oh OK, here, you might recognize me better in this one...
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, you said "sway bar" yesterday and I thought, "Wow, that's not going to stay polished too long." Now I see you meant "strut bar". Makes sense. Looks good!
Mine came polished. Ehhh, so it's not a 350Z. Haha. No, not installed, it's the last thing going under hood. Signals "I'm finished!"

GREAT thread bump! Forgot about that one. I'm guessing it'll take on another round of misconceptions!! Awesome, can't wait!

That Scott-Korean commercial they used to air on TV gave me no end of grief at the office:
