I've been a CDL driver for 13 years. Since they passed that law I've been real careful on the roads. No leniency for us.

Doh, I just knew you were in the oil field business. Didn't know you were a driver though. Are you a fracking driver?

I'll check out the location on Greenville though!
I drove past there the other day and didn't realize it but I guess it closed. There's now a restaurant and a drive thru car wash place. I guess every time I've driven past I just saw car wash and didn't pay attention.

Hmmm. That ONR wash was suppose to be delivered today but UPS fubared the address and now it won't be delivered till tomorrow. I despise UPS. So much for paying for 2 day shipping.

I was disappointed that they didn't at least call me, they just marked my delivery as undeliverable. Luckily I happen to look at the tracking only 10 minutes after they had posted the change and then called them. FedEx has never had an issue.

I drove a beer delivery truck for 7 years then frac for 3 years. For the last 3 years I've primarily been in a pickup truck, but on occasion I drive big trucks so I have to keep my CDL and hazmat.

I'm going to give it a try either today or tomorrow. It's suppose to be waiting for me when I get back.

Alright so I just ordered $2k in parts from CZP this morning and they'll be shipped to dallas by friday. I've always done my own work, que question…Does anyone know of a place (business or personal) where I can use a lift!?! I don't want to pay for labor, and frankly can't. I just need a lift…

DAMN, thanks! That is sick, has anyone gone there? My GF's dad has a tuning shop as a side job that is in Victoria TX, which is where I usually go. Only problem is that they're doing some big build and the 3 lifts are tied up and I haven't the faintest clue to when one will be open. But I feel a little over $100 is worth renting a lift.

I never have, but have sometimes wished I did just with how much easier it makes stuff.

Pillh needs to go to that shop in Victoria next time he's there and fix everything on his Z...

that is it. you will need 2 five gallon buckets, grit guards, waffle towel, and a soft microfiber towel to dry...

i just ordered the onr wash and wax, along with another wax from detailedimage.com

i will give it a good wax when i get the other stuff in...i have some holograms in my paint so i am going to get a guy i work with to do a paint correction for me

so i had an exhaust rattle and leak, i got my car up on stands today and wasnt happy with what i saw, the front of the muffler is split along the seam... guessing from dragging in my apts. i emailed tony to see how much that part is because i dont think it can be welded, if i can i will do that but either way i am going to have a shop essentially put a skid plate on it coming down from the inlet in front of the muffler and then down along it for like half an inch

Try the courtesy parts website. They usually have all the parts diagrams shown so it may help. Of course it's not actual photos so I don't know, but worth a shot to look.
