Still a Z owner, but not a Z driver (blew the motor, haven't had time/ motivation to fix).

fix radio (it works but the display goes out/shows random lines)
fix the shifter (A/T) that gets stuck in Park when hot
Change oil, break fluid, AT fluid
new tires

and anything else I find whilst doing the previously mentioned

Give me your keys and I'll drive-up saying I need my fluids changed. We can even swap wheels so you can deny the car is yours

No no no, that 250 is on commission. He gets 21/hr for every hour he turns. So if he finishes a 5th ticket in 30min then he gets paid 5hrs for that 30min and if your good and quick enough u can get 250/2weeks. I've been doing this 3yrs and I'm at 160/2weeks on avg.
