Got home last night, went to bed to wake up 5 hours later to come to work... and now my z smells like a foot because my wife couldn't keep her damn shoes on.... need some freshness in there for sure....
Saw one Z on the highway on my way out there. while i was there had a person tell me that they've "never seen a porsche with sharp tail lights like that" they didn't even see the "nissan" badge...
Had golf ball size hail and baseball size hail while i was there also, fortunately mom let me use an empty garage space!

!
Spray the interior down with Febreze then throw 4-5 fabric softener dryer sheets in under the seats and hatch area, she'll be smelling great real quick.


Well since I detailed the Z and its just sitting patiently waiting for spring to arrive, today I decided to remove the hamburger off the back and clean and buff that area inside the logo that is impossible to really clean and wax like the rest of the car. I detail that logo area every wash yet it was really dirty once I removed all the old 3m tape, cleaned and waxed it, resprayed the badge with plasti and re-applied 3m tape and pet her back together.

My feet were pretty stinky on the trip to and from Zdayz. It was weird because I wasn't doing anything active, just driving with my running shoes on.

Gassing the Z up at Shell, two people came up to shoot the breeze with me about the car. Got all kinds of compliments.

So I was thinking of seeing FF6 at the Southdale AMC this Saturday. The show I'd like to go to starts at 12:20PM. I have plans Saturday afternoon with relatives and maybe some friends and neighbors coming over later in the day, so I'd have the early afternoon open.

What do you guys think?

I'll be headin to C&C as long as the weather holds up. which reminds me, a good friend of mine who is an amazing photographer is going to be coming with me, and he wants to get some good car pics in, and of our club, so if anyone is interested....
as far as the movie goes, I should be able to make that, it's not too far from me.

Yea first 4 months I had to get rid of it! The "STAINLESS STEEL" is actually a coating (I believe) and begins to oxidize quickly with the influence of rain.

The performance gain and smooth pick up through RPMS is amazing after I swapped them.

Glad its holding up though Ryan
