Thanks. I didn't see any half hacked cars with blue tarps covering them in the new hood. It's a good sign. Lol

Ahhhh, Cupertino, CA.

Where the Silicon Valley rich-but-too-cheap-to-buy-in-Los-Gatos buy nice, decent family homes then tear them down and build custom 5BR, 4,000 sqft mansions right up to the lot lines, and overtake half their yards front and rear. Oh, they're nice houses when done but horrific like warts-on-a-nose when you look at them vis a vis the surrounding 'hood. Errrrrfff....

Sheee, at least my old 4k-ft house was on an acre and hidden in the discretion of trees behind a gate.

Just used this sweet air bag to jack up my car and put on my ghetto ramps... By far the most awesome way to lift up a lowered car...




Unfortunately my dog pisses right next to the car so im pretty sure I layed right in it.

What have you done for your Z today?-1488402621427.jpg
Since we're mentioning lowered cars, I decided to build my own curb cushion today rather than pay someone a ridiculous amount of money to have it shipped.

Picked up these bad boys, price was right so I figured I would give them a try... Also removed the front wheel studs because I was bored.




And cleaned up some tools and came to the realization that I may have some tool collecting issues.

Finally ordered test pipes and a heat shield for my short ram. Also ordered Blox o2 bung extenders just to be safe on the CEL.
