I'm sure Robert and the gents at Z1 are grateful. Thanks for your service, Sir!

They seem to be a good group. And no thanks needed. It was a pleasure. Most days anyway. 😎

Took the car to the DMV for inspection and passed. Thats always a bit of a worry for me but passed with flying colors.

I just changed the diff fluid and cleaned the brakes. Also, I finally pulled the trigger on Enkei wheels because 4wheelonline gave me a discount.

Took a bunch of the interior apart and removed a bunch of mouse ****. Trying to track down the remaining mouse smell. Hasn't been used in a hot minute.

Installed some bigger tires on the rear of the Z went from 275/40/18 to 295/40/18 and so far so good I feel like the car is hooking up better on the street but on the track I was getting wheel hop when trying to launch.

Washed one last time and put in storage. I used to like winter before I bought the Z. At least I have free indoor storage at work.

Interesting twist.... I put my Z back on duty as my daily driver just last week. Tired of leaving it in the garage AND with gas at $5+ here in Califoney, the Z gets better mileage than my Benz. Laff.

Must be nice, drove mine on Monday to get groceries and she overheated on the driveway while I was cleaning her spot in the garage (like 5 mins) boiled coolant and all.
probably bad fans, back up on ramps until next summer.
I'll throw in a new radiator and fans over the winter...

Washed the car and coated the rims and headlights. I’ll probably drive it one more time and wash again before I put it away for the winter.
