My driver's seat motor is on the fritz. 
May take a look at it today and see if it just needs cleaning.
Ryan or Scott, I need to borrow your orbital today. I'd like to wash and wax the van.

they are i dropped my car off on may 7th and wont get it done and tuned till June 10th, only reason i was able to get in was Jason doesn't work there anymore and forgot to put me on the books when i called like 2 months ago. I did see Joe on the dyno when i was there talked to him for a bit too. I can't wait till after mt A.T. so i can finally really drive it.

Wishing your wives/moms/GFs and their moms a happy Mother's Day.
I got the boys up early and they helped me cook breakfast and brought it to momma in bed.

I lol'ed when I got my car and driver magazine. They wrote about this same exact ish on page #30 on the June 2015 issue.
I have a question for you folks. What internet provider is the most reliable at 25-30 mbps? I am trying to set up my internet for the home I will be living in for a few years but have zero clue on what is good up there.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I use Frontier, but I'm not really happy with them. I think that's about the speed I get in my house. There's something wrong with the setup when they hooked me in, and they admit it. Just can't seem to get any faster.
It's pretty much either Comcast or Century Link up here.. I wouldn't recommend Century Link though. DSL tech is fairly annoying, and they seem to have frequent issues delivering bandwidth.
also.. data caps.

Kinda hate to say it. But Comcast is actually pretty dang good for internet.
Also, what's up people, just got back from a little weekend down in Texas. Just happened to see a Z cruise of about 12 cars the first night down there. Multiple GTR's and boat loads of moded mustangs and camaros everywhere.
And SmoothZ, what's your wheel setup if you don't mind me asking. Saw your car at cars and coffee and it was looking damn good

Dude, all those 350's and 370's with tons of mods looked so damn good. I felt old and boring.... 
I'm not touching my Z for a while. WTF did I come back to with this weather? I'll probably jack the Z up and take the wheels off to do some serious cleaning. Also, found out that the bracket with the end links for the sway bars has a design flaw and will snap after a while. Happened to one of the Z guys from the ZROC crew. He fixed it there at his cabin and showed me the part.

I feel like I'll be getting something soon. Brandon really should learn to drive the car he'll be using for school and work.

No, it's a perfect car for a kid to learn on. Not very fast, good utility, decent mileage.
Throw a set of snows on it and it becomes full on unstoppable in the winter time.
And the structure of these cars is insane. Super safe vehicles with all the airbags and rigid crash structure. Rescue guys just break out the jaws of life if they need to free someone from a subaru, because they know they'll be there all day with the saw.

Thanks, Ryan. That's about right. You haz good memory.
