So my Z will probably be fully out of commission in two weeks to get it ready for April. (clutch, bumper(s), new CF roof, headliner, momo gear, hood.....FML X 100)

Holy crap, gone for a few days and people are doing all kinds of things to their Z. WTF

Trav selling his Z makes me sad. That car is awesome.

Alex, what are you doing?

It was definitely a nice start to the week with this weather. I'm going to have to make a decision soon about my Z and when to store her. I'm not going to store it at the same place Greg does because I've got something in the works.

I still need to detail the hell out of the Z before putting her under cover.

I think I will sell or scrap the 260Z to make room in the garage, though. Anyone interested in it?

Nice. Did you fix your rear right panel or fender? I see all your wheels match again. Even nicer.

It started cracking + yellowing because it wasn't properly sealed on the Z, from whoever did it before I got it. So I'm either going to replace it with another or get the 3M 3d vinyl wrap.

Clean it up and then wrap it!

BTW, prostitution should be legalized and some people need to get off the Puritanical soapbox.

The FBI calls it a clue. At least everyone's on the same page about the deal.

And no, I'm not moving or selling the Z (that I know of).

I'm going to put the 260 back up on CL tonight or tomorrow. I need to make space for a 996 or 997.
