Had to put the Z into hibernation... Fractured 2 metacarpals removing my HFCs. I punched the s*** out of the tranny when the bolt head snapped...

What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Don't feel too bad. I almost cut my finger off while jacking up the car last month. Stopped the jack with my left hand before major damage happened. Scared the ish out of me.

That's alright... A couple weekends ago when I installed the Z1 CAI, I ended up rupturing a cyst that's laid dormant on my back for the past 8+ years. It's been hurting, oozing, STINKING, and just went to the dermatologist yesterday to have lanced, the shoved full of 20 inches of packing. On top of that, every evening, my girlfriend gets the pleasure of pulling out 2 inches of it, then bandaging me back up.
These damn Z's... They're trying to kill us! LOL

Drove it half blind. My contact fell out while driving and my vision, uncorrected, is 20/250. Interesting experience to say the least.

I was preparing to install new (to me) wheels and tires this evening and was checking the tires to see if they were directional because I want to make sure I install them properly. They are not directional, but I notice they are asymmetrical. So I check the rest of them and sure enough one of the front tires is backwards (inside is on the outside)

Because loving girlfriends do such things. Either that, or they enjoy inflicting pain on us, because pulling that packing out 2 inches at a time every night feels like someone giving you a constant paper cut for about 10 seconds. Not fun at all.

Drove it to the shop to do some boring non-Z stuff.

I thought the same thing, but then I noticed there is text, hence the picture is indented. He said he drove it to the shop to do non-Z stuff. So it is a qualifying post ... but I do think those non-Z pictures should be in a SPOILER tag
