Spent some quality time with the Z today...all day washing, buffing/polishing and waxing

 

YEa we avoided the side streets years back when my cousin had his Supra here during his residency!

BTW spotted: Silver Z with Veilside V3 front bump; north saint paul/maplewood burbs area! Never met the guy before but flashed him a hello

 

Yeah, def good spontaneous meet up! Lol, I def gotta get to yard and garage tomorrow hardcore

 

I forgot the cigar, Erik.

Feeling pretty good about all the work we did today in the house and garage, more to come tomorrow.

As I was shutting down my garage and getting ready to come inside tonight, I hear my name being called out from the sidewalk. It's Tara's cousin who was at a party 3 doors down. So that was another spontaneous visit for the day.

 

WTF

 

Washed the Z yesterday before a night out on the town.
Today, we took it to run some errands and I left it parked in the driveway, top down, and started doing some much needed yard work. Worked myself ragged, and as I was finishing up a day of de-thatching, I backed the riding mower over a pile of dethatched grass with the blade spinning. As I backed past my work car (Dodge Journey) and the Z was coming into view, I realized I was still throwing clippings...blew the equivalent of a 40 gallon yard bag full of grass clippings and chopped up leaves all over and into the roadster. The seats and the rear wheel lip were filled with about a half inch of yard clippings.
Needless to say, the Z got two baths so far this weekend. :P

 

Sorry Ryan forgot about ya , nothin special fixed Eriks click sound on his Z and Dave swung over for a second while I cleared his SES light code. It was a last second thing.

Dave here is the code definition that came up that I cleared
P0420 TW (Two-Way) Catalyst System, Bank 1

 

I'd rage if I did that to my car, grass clippings and all.

Ryan, I was at home when I got the text. Was going out to get dinner anyway and was looking for an excuse to drive.

Thanks for the help, Greg. I hope that code isn't too serious. I did notice yesterday that the smell of exhaust fumes was worse than usual. Kept smelling it big time everytime the car was stopped. I need to get under there and tighten some things up, I guess.

 

Pulled the car out yesterday, hooked the battery up and she fired right up, thanks Yellow top. Gave it a wipe down with quick detailer and re-set all my radio stations and she's ready to go.

 

Go cruising, Ryan!

I would think this would be easy to fix at an exhaust shop? http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...702121551.html

 

Oh, don't get me wrong. I was pissed. But it gave me a much needed reason to stop doing yardwork for the day.

 

Last time I drove my car was 10/29, a full 6 months ago tomorrow. Longest winter I can remember, thank God spring is finally here. (except we may get flurries Thursday)

 

Oh, sure. The day I take off because my oldest boy wants me to go with him on a field trip.

 

Boy was today a nice day for a drive.

 

I also watched "End of Watch" last night, was a pretty good movie. Pretty suspenseful through out the entire film, I do think they could have cut back on the swearing though. It doesn't bother me but I felt they over did it and it seemed to distract the film a little.

EDIT:
Just read this little movie fun fact trivia.

 

Looks like the weather is taking a turn for the worst just in time for cars and coffee

 

I saw a clip showing some ICE agents in that movie. I need to watch this movie soon.

Depressing.

 

End of Watch was ok, def good redbox material. Hardcore and rugged at times whih is good.

Btw, The NSX I "bought" on Ebay was in fact a scam, but they certainly got nothing from me moneywise, so Sorry Dave and Greg :/

 

I knew it! So what happened? Was it really their's or the pictures were stolen?

 

Pics stolen, fabricated stories and emails....very real phishing nicely done scam overlay emails tho....so good samaritan in me fwd'd it and called Ebay
