Albo, I hear ya... every day I go to accuweather.com and look at the 15 day forecast to see when I can get her out of the garage.

Mike, we'll set up something up on west side too. Either way, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the east side when you're cruising at 120+mph...

Nick, after poker tonight, you'll be paying for my mods this spring!!!

Mike, I think you got it all wrong...I'll be getting my 1/2" spacer & MREV2 after I take all of YOUR $$$ at poker tonight!!!

When are we all hittin' BW3's with our Z's?

I'm also looking at changing to 3.7 FD...Mike just sent me the guide...can I make this change by just swapping or do I need a "pumpkin"???

Late,
Nick

I haven't seen 120mph since:

A) Summer 06 in the GTO
B) 110mph in the SS, it'll definitely hit higher
C) Traffic - lately I can't seem to get anywhere fast. Everything takes 30+ minutes, such bs.

I'm really considering looking into those jobs they were saying at MGM Grand, they're hiring HUNDREDS of people. I wouldn't mind the drive if the pay was good, that's for sure.

Keep me posted guys.

Yo 11,

I'm back again...

H8bumps and I hit up the BW3's (where was everyone?)...he drove his slow car there, though...I rolled up there in the Z. I did park by a S2000...it was shivering when I parked up next to it...when I left BW3's, it was so scared, the S2000 was moved (FOR REAL)!

When I came home tonight, I ordered the 1/2" spacer, MREV2, and the APS strut bar!!!! This will all go well with my JWT popcharger already in transit.

On the poker note, I got blown out for like 2 bills...I lost $120 and $50 consecutively on some crap! Oh well, H8bumps will get me back next week.

Out,
Nick

Mike,

Yeah, I75 really sucks now that they have the lodge shut down. But as long as I'm not in rush hour traffic, I don't have a problem finding the room to do 100+ almost every time I drive.

I'll have to check out those MGM Grand jobs...

Nick,

Let me know when you get your shxt in the mail. I want to see that mrev2 before you put it on -- I'm jealous!!!

The Cipher is in the mail. I'll probably get it early next week, and maybe do some data logging next weekend if the weather is warm enough.

We should have more poker nights -- I have a lot of mods I need to pay for!!!

Figured i'd post up these pictures I took today of some spring cleaning. My hands were damn near frozen so it's not the best photography. I haven't washed it since I bought it (January 29).

Cleaning included:
Wash top to bottom
Polish exhaust tip
Shine up tires and wheels
Rain-X all windows and moonroof
Full interior shampoo and vacuum
Detail dash and interior panels


Dirty?


Cleaaaannn!


Dirty?


Cleaaaan!

Nick,

Don't know -- haven't hooked it up yet. I installed it on my desktop and my laptop, but can't do anything with the software without connecting to the Z. It takes forever to open the program though -- it uses 100% of my CPU capacity the whole time it's open. We'll see how it performs when I hook it up to the Z today or tomorrow.

Mike, Nice pix... although you're a bit crazy for washing the SS in 50 degree weather. I fired up the Z and changed the oil this weekend... almost washed her, but I think she'll be in the garage another week or two, so a bath will have to wait.

JWT Popcharger just arrived...APS strut bar tomorrow...1/2" Motordyne Spacer and MREV2 on Thursday.

Mike, are you coming over to help me put it in? It's going to be crappy out the end of the week/this weekend. I'll have the Exploder back tomorrow!

Nick, you're assuming I wake up sometime Sunday morning. Saturday I will be highly intoxicated, and will likely be very hung over on Sunday. But I will come over your place whenever I drag my drunk arss out of bed.

April 7th is ok, as long as it's warm enough to be driving the Z...

you guys that are storin' your cars missed out today. DAMN it was nice out. Girlfriend was scheduled off so I took a vacation day. Nice to drive around w/ the windows down.

I got this thing in November though so it's the first chance I've had to do that. Funny that there's more wind noise in this than there was in my Cobra w/ the top down.

Hey, if you don't remember, it didn't happen, right?

I'm planning on spending most of the day at the Old Shilellagh.

There's no way I was going to miss out on a 70 degree day. I drove my dirty Z to work, then gave her a bath. I took her to work again today -- I guess she's in 'semi-storage' until the weather warms up permanently.

Nothing like some WOT Cipher runs with the top down...

Mike,

Car looks good!

The neighborhood looks shady...do you live in Dearborn?
