Pat....I might want to take a look at it....I'll give you what you paid for it so you won't loose money...but I'm not gonna pay extra.

Plus you owe me a nice gesture also.

JaE35z, No I don't think that falls under the safety inspection guide lines. I don't have one on my Z.

I only ask because I want another good wax/detail of the exterior and I would wait for you to do it this summer....but if not then there is a G35 guy that is out here that does it also....I would rather give you cash than him tho.

When you get back in DFW, lets get together and have a beer !
I'm on my way back now. I'd be glad to do a detail if we can work something out, but I don't know where I'll be this summer since I graduate in June.

Did you already buy it on Groupon? Apparently they pulled all gun-related stuff on most of those sites after Sandy Hook.

Other than the class test and shooting test, you need fingerprints done, send in some paperwork, and fill out forms online about past history and stuff.

Both tests seemed pretty easy. Shooting one is very easy, the written test was a little confusing but apparently I passed. They don't tell you your actual score at the place I went to so if you ever end up in court they can't hold it against you if you did really well/poor.

Stu, from what I can tell....all graduates end up back at their parents house after graduating. Lol

I have mine also Jake....it is a really easy thing to do if you have the time....it takes a whole Sat. tho.
Shooting is easy like Stu said and the finger prints have to be done electronically now & you have to make an appointment to get them done.

Travis I have done the Lasik....it was over 10 yrs ago now....I'm actually looking into doing it again....my vision has slipped a bit and I could use a tune up.
It won't ever stop you from needing reading glasses when you reach the 40's, but your distance remains great.
I highly recommend it for anybody that can qualify for it....and most people do, only a few exceptions that they won't want to do it.

Travis, where is your consultation at ?

Sure, sounds good to me.

My vision was about the same.....I also had a slight stigma on both eyes.

I loved the results.....that is why I want to do it again....I'm not ready for glasses again. I love not having to have a prescription set of sunglasses and the regular set as well.

If you do it you'll love it also.

My original Dr. was Boothe in Plano.....and if I go back there I think I get a pretty good discount....so I might go back to them. Otherwise I will get some basic pricing from others.

Nowadays the technology is so good that the top doctors offer a lifetime warranty on LASIK. I wouldn't do it without a warranty.

My suggestion is The Tilted Kilt in Lewisville. It's never really crowded so there wouldn't be an issue getting a big table. They have a great draft beer selection and they usually have some pretty hot waitresses there.

1:00pm Saturday the 12th?

I knew you would be down. You could practically walk there.

That part of Lewisville seems to be the most central location for our core group of Z guys.
