I didn't get to go for a drive, it looked awfully overcast and I ended up mowing the yard and helping put some patio furniture together instead. Hopefully they lift the watering ban now so I can get the Z dirty and clean it up when I can.

Everyone have a happy Monday Tuesday and a safe trip to work.

Waterless wash is the way to go.

Have a good day sir.

Good morning all!

Going to motor the Z on this lovely Monday (Tuesday??) in 45 minutes. I'm so confused on the day of the week now.

You Griots whore you

Best wishes for a great week, especially since it is a short one.

Got my duck tail spoiler back on yesterday. It's not going to come loose again!

Since I am off this Friday (

), I'm going to wire my invisicord into the mirror and install my radar detector bracket too. No more dangling cord and suction cups!

Still debating getting my wheels painted. I want to do it, it;'s just going to be a logistical nightmare for a few days. It may happen, but probably not anytime soon.

Lastly - another big "congratulations" mr. onzedge! I'm so happy for you and your family. A baby is such a special thing. Ours is already starting his third year at Texas A&M, and I still remember the day we brought him home.

Have a good week all!

Sounds like productive times are ahead for your Z.

I think as corny as it was, it's more appropriate than Rape Train!

Hey, yesterday's rapes were modified appropriately to honour the occasion!

Hi guys. Hope everybody had a great Labor day. I see onze did. Worked last night and working tonight. Pint it took me Years to get to where I'm at now. At 20 I had a 1 year old Camaro and was in the Marines. At 30 I had a couple used cars and a 1976 280Z. At 35 I had gone to school and got my RN. 1st new car a Hyundai Accent. The next year traded in on my Nissan Titan. Also had 2 Corvettes. 2 years ago I bought my 370Z. Sold the Corvettes. This year bought the ZL1. I'm up to a $60,000 car from a $2000 car in 1990. Education was key. Keep up the hard work Pint and you will be successfull. You have a much more expensive car than I did at your age.

If we are going to walk down memory lane, here's my pathetic story:

I've been working since age 15. Always paid for my cars, insurance, gas and maintenance.

Put myself through college. Graduated, got a job, got married at 23 and bought a house. Interest rates at the time (1982) were 20.1%, assuming you could even get a loan. We skipped a fancy wedding and used the money from the wife's parents ($10,000) for a down payment.

Saved, saved, saved and never lived extravagantly. No consumer debt, and tried to pay cash for cars when we could. Never refinanced the house to buy consumer goods or go on vacation.

MAYBE one day I'll get to retire, but that remains to be seen. I doubt I'll ever collect a dime of social security.

Luckily, my son is on a full academic scholarship at Texas A&M (and is in the Corps of Cadets) and is studying Petroleum Engineering. That break is worth at least $150k!

I think you are doing okay ms. pint. The very fact you are concerned about this is good. Just keep plowing away and it will pay off like mr. fire said.
