(They actually better hope so too, because I fired the last guys who told me I only had 3 more months to live. I will keep firing these damn people until I get the answer I want to hear...

)

Congrats man, that is great news. I’ll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you that the rescan in 3 months goes well.

After 3 years, finally going to take a vacation. I have a buddy in Long beach CA. Going there for a week. Never been west coast before. Was thinking of stopping by SpecialtyZ and see what all the fuss is about over there ;-)

Be sure to try some In n Out (double double with animal fries). Pick up a case of Cactus Coolers from the soda section of a store. head to Huntington if you wanna see floss string bikinis and assorted exotic cars.

You will have a blast, nothing like SoCal beaches in the summer time. Nothing special about the shop at SZ, it is a auto shop LOL. The special thing is about spending time with Seb and talking all things Z. Call him before hand and see if he will take you for a ride in his Z. Tell him you are interested in the DCT trans swap. You will be blow away with the experience or not LOL. I am a kid when it come to power and acceleration.

You want to see a quality shop, go to Fast Intentions. Tony will give you a tour and talk your ear off. He is a cocky little sumbitch but he is the best at what he does.

So the 2 of 3 packages that didn't get delivered yesterday have status that says "bar code unreadable delivery delayed until next business day". Currently, one of them shows as delivered (no evidence of that on my doorbell camera) and the other one says it is now out for delivery. C'mon FedEx. Usually it's UPS jerking me around; FedEx is usually on point.

At least you didn't have to track a package from Iowa to Guam, to Hawaii, to SF, to Indy, to Pittsburgh, to Brownsville, to home.

And that was for a Redding neck bushing die for reloading.

Well golly bob... Toyota dealer just called me and gave me back a deposit I had put down on a new car for the wife about 3 months ago... Said Toyota cant get chips to build cars, so any and all special orders are cancelled...

That saves me about $45k. Hot damn...

(I bet they hate having to make those kinda calls..)
