good to hear your cover's inline. i noticed on the quick silver instructions they say to put the front on first and rear last, but i always do the front at the end cause the front of the car is narrower and less bulky than the rear (less friction to the paint).

I always start with the mirrors, then rear, then front last.

All this talk about car covers depresses me. My last run in the Z was yesterday, now it sits in it's stall. I still need to wash and correct it... then cover it up.
Is the Quicksilver good for dust prevention and indoor storage? Where is a good online place to purchase? I was looking at Block it 200 from CoverCraft.com. I know it's cheap but I figured I didn't need anything too fancy with it sitting in an insulated garage for the winter. What do you guys think?

I don't like covers... I'm one of those guys that think it'll do more damage than good. On the other hand, if you have a red car and it's out in the sun alot, I can see the need to keep the paint from faiding. I go for the fold-out windshield shade.

Found a new way to clear my ears after swimming today!

Take the onramp onto the highway really fast, the latteral g-force really helps. Felt the water come right out. Only worked on the left ear though. LOL

quiest way to get water out of your ears is to add a drop of water into your ear and shake it out. i use to do this all the time when i went to the pool as a kid.

I can sympathize with your garage wishes. I just moved from a house with a 26 x 24 garage with a side work area of 8 x 8 to townhouse with a a 17 x 18 garage. Plus, I don't have a private driveway anymore.

At least the days of spending five hours a week (minimum) maintaining a 1.5 acre lot are over.
yah, im looking forward to the increase in my savings account. the thing about me is my dad (retired long time) is a house/garden/farm whore. hahaha. he owned several lux houses while he lived in the states and and guess who got to help keep them maintained on the weekends while i lived at my parent's place? yah, no thanks. while he paid me generously im not a gardener type, i hate mowing the grass, and i hate working with soil (aka little farm of his).

im perfectly happy with contractors doing my lawn and snow removal.

i can't speak for quicksilver yet as this is the first time trying it but it repells water unlike normal 'dust covers' so i wont have to worry about water seeping through the cover onto the paint like the cover i have for the G. my Z will be garaged but when i open the garage door to get my G out i know blowing snow will get all over the hatch area....so i wanted to get a cover to minimize water stains.

Motordyne ART pipes. LOVE THEM! Quieter and deeper than HFC's and you get all horsepower of test pipes without losing torque. In fact you get +20lbft tq over regular test pipes.

No sound clips with the FI exhaust. I just put it on a few weeks ago. I did have the HKS exhaust but wanted something louder and more free flowing in preparation for a TT setup.
