Sorry to hear that, Dave. My prayers and condolences go to the entire family, especially Tara. I lost my Dad earlier this year and I know how hard it feels. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear the bad news Dave. Very sad news, but it's good that he's no longer in pain. RIP and God bless.

I'm back guys. Graduated from Air Force BMT as an honor graduate. Feels good to be done. Missed you all.

Greg, what were your plans for Monday? I heard that it was supposed to be nice today. Probably a good idea you didn't stop by. I find those moments a little awkward.

Ben, so you're home for a while before going back for advanced training? Good to see you back in MN (I guess). LOL - Didn't you want to leave?

My plans for Monday were I officially put my car away for the winter Then went to work shortly after. No way was I going to just swing in when you had company over especially since the recent passing of Tara's dad. Hope she's staying strong as well as her mother.

Well now that the Z is put away I'll probably go into hybernation for awhile too. Just found out that my work is cutting our work week to 3 days next week (3 Twelve hour shifts) which is more than a month and a half sooner than what they did last year. This economy needs to start rebounding quicker or we're going to be hurting even more.

BTW getting a little off topic real quick what do you guys think of the do luck body kit and having it all painted candy apple red??? I'm actually considering doing this...

Tara's doing well. Of course, I'm helping out a lot by taking care of the little things. Tara's mom is not so well. She's depressed. We offered to buy her ticket to come up for Xmas.

As for the kit, I say doooooo eeeeeeeeeet! I hope you're painting the rest of the car. That'll look sweet. Don't see too many red Z's around here.

I thought the economy was coming back. Gas prices are up, housing market is somewhat stabilized, and CEO's are laughing all the way to the bank. Oh, wait....

I went to fill up the Z yesterday. Damn gas went up over 10 cents. Dammit! But, at least she's full for hibernation.

Good to hear Tara is doing well. Hope her Mom gets over it too. Tough I know.
After a few days of temptation rides, I finally put the Z to sleep, covered warmly in the Z cover. Lol. No mods planned for this winter except to take off the hatch so I can bring it to a guy to fix and paint the scratches being covered now with a "fake" Nismo sticker. Lol. I would give the Z portion of the garage some face-lift with a painted wall and some frammed sportscars photos as well as some model cars. I got some pretty descent ones.
That should keep me busy to help me forget about the Z while it sleeps
