Mr.kenchan, it happens to me number of timessss this year, in fact, I did a quick wash up for the Z on the passed Wed early afternoon, then it rain like sh!t 2 hours later.....

Such a sunny day today and tomorrow and I am like "dang... diving a dirty Z under the sunshine..... "
yah, i too am kinda surprised the shop didn't have an extractor. it's not anything special. just a tube and either a hand pump (mine) or hooks up to a compressor... hummm...

ouch on the 2hr post-wash rain. hate it when that happens. i remember washing my dd over a decade ago in the cold, everything was clean, pulled car into garage since storm was coming...blizzard started and i get a call from wife to pick her up from her parent's house. wtf, im like drive yourself home, or have your parents drive you home... i just washed the car! i was traumatized after that. lol

Again I'd like to thank my sponsor APR Perfromance for all these parts. When installing these carbon fiber products the quality is perfect. The way the weave is laid is so nice. I couldn't find one area where the CF was pulled or stretch.
Now!!!!! Looked for update on Journal all but found nothing so was all quit making me all like a school girl and post them already or I really want to be all

Fffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Now I'm actually pissed! The personnel at the front desk at Tire Kingdom failed to mention that their more experienced guys go home at 3pm when I stopped by there yesterday. Tomorrow they can't do it either. I was informed that if I get it to them early on Monday they can do it. Well..............myself, including the majority of the work force in America work Mon-Fri until AT LEAST 5pm....so looks like Im farked until next weekend.

Gaaaaahhhhhhhh!!

How much time does it take to have the tires mount? Maybe you can drop off the tires to them on Monday and go back with you Z in another day in the morning or lunch time, I bet 45 mins is more than enough for them to mount&balance. GL dude!!

Today I went for a nice drive with my loving spouse. I was switching channels on Sirius radio and I told her that nothing seemed to appeal to me. As we came to a stop at a red light in a rural area, I said, "you know what kind of music I like best?", as I hit the Mute button. She innocently replied, "You like silence?" "No" I replied, "Its something else... THIS!"! ..AS I PUNCHED DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR!

Now there is no more pleasing a sound than that of a duet ..and the deep throated roar of the engine was a perfect complement to her frantic screaming....true music to my ears..
