what a **** !!

you got it all wrong though, its so twisted it can make anyone look sad.. I had 1/2 the money from selling my previous car, then the one bank took too long but eventually I got my money, not my dads money, my money that I gave him so he can pay off some business expenses because some **** doesnt pay, and still hasnt...

you see some people put family first, ahead of some ****ing car... Now I have to wait till i get paid back.. then I can buy my car.

a used Z06 I just posed 2 examples for the same price of a used Z.. what 20K more?

and Im not 30 yet

You probably just offended the entire Canadian Z owners' club.

doesnt matter... not really the point, the point is its the exact same car only sold for a much cheaper price, so calling it a "busted up z from the US " is really stupid

well when was the last time you had to sacrifice 20K which was intended for your car

no damage! 30K miles is next to nothing

Hey guys,
I'm reseaching this as I type but I was hoping you guys could chime in to make life easier.


My car is at 65000 km and is due for service.
My car produces a little more smoke then usual at start up, and has a little more carbon on the back bumper than I remember. (Now this may be because the INGS overhangs the exhaust a little more)

I'm thinking I might need a tune up?
Also, thinking of flushing out all the transmission fluid which was done last at 19000 km. I figure the coolant could also be flushed. I can't rememebr the last time that was done.

What do you guys think? Necessary maintainance? How much should it cost?

if you think youre overdue its always good to get a complete flush, and have a little maintanance done, dont know how much it all costs i used to do everything myself.

as for the black smoke.. is it all the sudden? does the car run any different than before?

*blah blah blah* sacrafice? put family first?... <--playing a sad song for you....

Would anyone really be thinking about buying a sports car if they were putting family first?
Time for excuse # 1890109001

If you had half the money (like you say..lol), you could easily get a loan... Unless your credit score sux ***, which means you probably nuked a credit card when you were younger and still havent recovered from it, which is pretty sad in itself.

Good luck with your z06 dreams... remember Tyco doesnt count..

Bro,
I told you that the last time you were down here. Your exhaust tips looked so black I thought you were running TP's.

I am a firm believer in getting your fluids flushed every two years (since we only drive in summer months) or every 25k km.

What engine oil were you using?

I was using Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30.
Briefly tried Penzoil Platinum, but wasn't happy with it.

I read somewhere that Mobile1 has a tendency to do that..
Many may laugh, but I was happy with the Castrol 5w30 dino oil.. It didnt loose a drop in my rev-up and did not leave much of a residue on my exhaust tips. Since I changed my oil out every 3k km, I wasn't to worried about going with dino oil.

IMO, its a waste of time..

You probably should replace your belts and swap out your fluids... I cant think of anything else you would need, since you do take very good car of your z.

Your not working today?

a flush is always a good idea but I dont think it will solve your black smoke, I would do that first and let us know the outcome
