That's awesome, Kenchan, that they stopped using the blower.

The crew here doesn't give a damn. A few months ago they surprised me by showing up on a Thursday and blew a kinds of wet clippings on everyone's car. I spent the whole following Saturday correcting the paint because of those guys.

Time for a new DD!

We had rainy weather most of the weekend so the Z was garage queen while I worked on the Camry. I did drive her briefly because I had all the oil drained from the Camry before realizing I didn't have the correct oil filter wrenches. Whoops!

Use a strap wrench? Fits any oil filter in existence. What am I missing here?

I didn't have a strap one. Plus I prefer the metal cup wrenches.

What did I do with my Z hummmmm. Refreshed the lights.. Color match them and got rid of the CF Shrouds. I did leave an CF strip were I filled the dimples in. Can't tell but the shrouds are gun metal. Waiting on 90mm halos when they arrive I'll make the shrouds darker.

I detailed a bunch of plastic trim under the hood with Adam's Super VRT. It looks new again!

The bottom piece is cleaned and treated in both pictures. The top piece is dirty in the top pic and cleaned and treated in the bottom pic. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics with inconsistent lighting.

Nah-not yet, hubby cracked the oil pan ... Still waiting on a OEM one.
And waiting. And waiting. Crap. I'm really just trying not to think about it.
Not too urgent. To him anyways. I hate not being in control. Does that make me a control freak?
