if i went to a GM dealer do get a hello from mr.goodwrench and his cheeze burger shaped ladies?

disclaimer: btw, the last comment is a joke and not to be offensive. i just want to ensure the public that i was only kidding so no need to send nasty PM's that you can't send anyway since PM is blocked.

They do have complimentary charburger and cheeze fries!

Hmm, I think I missed out on something. Was Mr.kenchan being bad?

Yep me too. I always slow down and stay very alert when approaching/going through intersections. Better to be safe than sorry.

I don't trust blinkers and generally try to wait until they have fully passed my front end with their front tires before I go.

Glad no damage to you or the Z. I can sympathize with you. It's not like Austin has good or even courteous drivers...

So yesterday I found out that there is a market for flat black painted shifter trim peices. I had bought a factory trim peice from Courtesy Nissan to paint for my car. I ended up getting an automatic one instead of manual. I had already painted it before I figured this out so I posted for sale yesterday in the forums. I had three people want to buy it within an hour of posting it. I should have had a higher price. Now if I just had a source for these trim peices for cheap. Anyone have a 370z salvage yard?

A small Z gathering si shaping up at my house this Sunday -- Curtis (ZForce) and maybe Hal so far. Anyone else in Sacramento want to come by -- Sunday is always coffee and donut (when Z's show up) day and all Z's welcome. Colin and Taylor (sons) are grappling with a noisy oil cooler on a 370 and a minor revving (not repping -- that's my problem) issue on the 240.

Nice! I haven't been among more that 2 other 370's at one time

Hopefully that changes this summer and more of the 370 guys come out from hiding!

Mr. Onzedge....how often do you drive the 240??

I heard there might be 2 smashed up 370's local here...I'm hoping to get the armrest to wrap in CF

I saw your post on the trim, it looked really good!

I have a CF cover on mine, it really changes the look...the silver is meh

I was driving it every other week -- alternating with the 370, but stopped about 9 months ago. The 370 is more civilized and easier to commute in, if you can believe that. The 240 takes a bit of work to operate and can be a brutalizing driving experience that makes the 370 on Koni/swift seem like a 1978 Cadillac El Drorado.

But, I am putting her back on the road this weekend -- I am having an idling issue and she does not want to rev past 5500. A little TLC, timing and a carb sync will do wonders.

I will be in Sac this weekend. I have a house warming party to go to in the affternoon but I might be able to stop by in the morning. What time are you guys meeting up? If it is too early I might be too hung over as I will be working/drinking at the "Taste of Elk Grove" beer, food, and wine festival. A good friend if the rep for Mendenceno Brewing Company so I poor at beer fests a good amount during the spring and summer.

I've got a wedding to go to this weekend.

Thanks. I really like the black trim in my car.

As for the wrecked Z's I got a plan....are you following? Go get the trim pieces from said cars. Paint said trim peices with my propiatary flat black matched to the z's interior paint (AKA Kylon fushion rattle can)...still following? Then post them for sale...sell & ship them to our lucky customers. Then send me a franchise fee for my efforts. Okay go make me money!!!!

mhcoss · 04-18-2012, 10:57 PM

Well today I went and got my Z washed interior/exterior. When it came time for the dude to bring the car around I watched him stall it twice in a row right in front of me. lol. After the second time I went and told him to get out and drove it off myself. Don't know why they are letting someone who clearly sucks at manual move cars like that. anyways end of rant

Late morning -- you should come by. Do you still have my number? I would love to see the paint job.
