If I could make the cut, I'd probably do this.

I'm usually maybe $100 or so... Even including some play-time in the Z. That's why I was not amused when I totaled it up.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Congrats to Mr.onzedge again!!!

Went home last night after the cruise, edit some of the pictures and then went back out again... got home late and did some more editing, just adjusting the contrast/brightness, wanna keep it original as much as I can.


good news is, the tires shop just called and I am going there tomorrow at 3pm...

Mr.alcheng and I had a great day with 5 other forum members, driving our Z's on a really cool stretch of road, then getting lost, only to get lost again, and then getting lost one last time before we said screw it, and went for a nice dinner. Then group photo time. Mr.alcheng was the pro behind the lens. I'm looking forward to doing it again Good times!
Mr.GaleForce, it was very nice to meet you too!! The turn out was great and I like when driving around the small town with some twisty curves, pretty much will setup up another one very quickly since everybody is up to it.

I am editing some of the pics and will post them as soon as I finished the work...

I didn't get to go for a drive, it looked awfully overcast and I ended up mowing the yard and helping put some patio furniture together instead. Hopefully they lift the watering ban now so I can get the Z dirty and clean it up when I can.

Everyone have a happy Monday Tuesday and a safe trip to work.

Going to motor the Z on this lovely Monday (Tuesday??) in 45 minutes. I'm so confused on the day of the week now.

Have a good day sir.

You Griots whore you

Sounds like productive times are ahead for your Z.
Waterless is the way to go, true, when you use waterless, make sure a new microfiber cloth is used every time, and you might want to use a duster to remove those loose dust on first...

Best wishes for a great week, especially since it is a short one.

Got my duck tail spoiler back on yesterday. It's not going to come loose again!

Since I am off this Friday (), I'm going to wire my invisicord into the mirror and install my radar detector bracket too. No more dangling cord and suction cups!

Still debating getting my wheels painted. I want to do it, it;'s just going to be a logistical nightmare for a few days. It may happen, but probably not anytime soon.

Lastly - another big "congratulations" mr. onzedge! I'm so happy for you and your family. A baby is such a special thing. Ours is already starting his third year at Texas A&M, and I still remember the day we brought him home.

Have a good week all!
Mr.gurneyeagle, sounds like a productive day you have there, and on the rear wing!!

Mr. Onze, any new pictures yet?


Good Morning all! Hope you all have easy days.
Ms.Pint... hang in there honey

We are all with you!!

Time to determine a way to max out your income meanwhile managing the debt.

man... we in here, Canada, pay $1.45/L, that's $5.49/gal.

I fill my tank every 5 days, 16.7 gallon each time... you do the math...

About $550 a month....

Some province in Canada, ie British Columbia and Quebec, even have a higher gas price....
