I feel like my car was invisible at that bbq. I've seen pictures of everyone's Z's on xceed, but I think I only saw one of mine. I was hoping to find a couple random decent shots of the car. Oh well, at least I got a chance to talk to a couple of you for a second. I wish I could've made it early enough to caravan out there. Maybe next time. Everyone's cars looked gorgeous though.

why: 1.they are not able to properly allign a Z and get the steering wheel
straight in the process (2 attempts)...
mechanic's quote: an angled steering wheel (turned 20dgr. to left when
going straight) gives the car personality and compensates for the 'road
crown' WTF !!!! -> turned about 15dgr. to right when going
straight after second attempt

2.they take all cars that are worked on for a test drive, that includes
taking your car on a 150 feet unpaved off road test (to pull in the back
of the service lot) with one foot deep pot holes and tennis ball size
rocks to make sure the allignment is up to spec i found that
out since i wouldnt let the guy take my car without me being in it ... i
was ready to kill... but settled with swearing and had him
stop the car (for the sake of my interior)...

-> they probably have the most fun off roading in one of the Porsche
911 Gt3's that they sell and service there

Awesome pics everyone...
If my camera didn't blow I would have brought some as well.

Mike K. -I am always down for a gathering let me know when your thinking of having it.
Billy- your car ALWAYS looks good, who are you kidding.

Mike M-That was fun at Malarkeys, me and Sven drove home VERY slowly...

Cturn-It was awesome to finally meet you face to face, seems like we have been talking on the forums forever. Awesome pics too, can't wait to see them all.

If you guys set up a nother meet you'll have to let me know. i would definitely like to make it out there but need to know far enough into advance to get time off.
