Side note: Driving the speed limit in our rental car (base model Versa), I was able to almost get airborne crossing an intersection on Michigan Ave due to how rutty it was crossing a different street o.O

Of course you drove the speed limit... Ish

I was literally right beside a DPD tahoe... I was going the speed limit lol. Also, the road was already pretty rough so I was taking it easy. I just happened to be looking at the Tahoe on my left when I hit a pothole the size of the car which sent us damn near airborne!

Good times... Did we come to a consensus on dinner?

I haven't heard otherwise so I guess we're sticking with Zoe's around 7pm, then karting after (probably just one session unless we want to do more) after.

Sounds good, although the weather looks thunder-stormy by that time(as usual) so I guess I'll be riding dirty in the Impreza...which I've never washed...because beaters are great...maybe one of these days I'll replace the transmission...but probably not...

I swear the past two weeks have been listed as 'Isolated T-Storms, 30% chance' and it has rained for maybe 10 minutes combined.

Isn't that the damn truth. I just don't drive my Z in the rain anymore if I can avoid it...we'll see what the weather brings as always

Yeah I'll probably be in my truck for that exact reason. I plan to wash my car this afternoon after work and I was going to drive it but I'd rather just wait till C&C and keep it clean. *shrugs* Oh the joys of owning a black car...

C&C is 10 days away! You'll have time to wash it again before then. I swore I'd never own a black car again for that reason though...

Oh damn! I just realized I had the weekends mixed up

You are right. It is next weekend.

Does anyone have a shop they can recommend to get test pipes put on my Z? Zensation recommended Heads Up in Spartanburg, but they said they would outsource this job to Rick's Muffler (also in Spartanburg); however, after a call to Rick's Muffler he declined to perform the work.

I have the test pipes in hand and really don't think the car will give much trouble having <400 miles but I still would rather have a shop do it. Unless someone else has experience and will help for beer
