The Acura has a fair number of dents, but I was surprised at how few significant ones there were. I must have still been half asleep when I went outside during the hailstorm to look at it

The Z is perfectly safe

(sorry for anyone's whose isn't - I know there are a few Z owners in my neighborhood that don't use their garage...)

Here are a couple shots from the front door, which I could barely open cause the wind was blowing so hard.

Before the change I would run at 200F all day, maybe up to 210-215 when pushing it hard. Now on the full synthetic I'm consistently running around 210, getting up to 220-225 under higher revs.

I'm not super concerned since I plan on adding a cooler in the next month or so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something major here - or if any of you have experience with this after the first change.

Oil levels are good, haven't seen or smelled any burn-off, everything else seems to be copacetic - any ideas/advice or am I just being overbearing?

I was pegged at 240 minimum oil temps yesterday while driving around Central Texas in 80 degree weather

220 would be an acceptable goal if I ever get an oil cooler

Yeah, I guess we lucked out that the hail was smaller on our side. I saw pictures of larger than quarter size hail.

It's not as bad as I originally thought, but you're absolutely right. I think this is the universe's way to telling me never to lease again

quarter size is definitely closer to what we had...

So I finally found out which carrier Adam's actually used for my shipment (I assumed USPS but it was actually FedEx). Tracking shows that it is out for delivery today; can't wait to inspect the shipment
