Side note. Everyone should go get tested just to be on the safe end. I trust you guys, but better to be safe.

That's my plan. Till then, I'll refrain from licking most surfaces.

I was hoping for an invite back someday. So after dinner on Sunday, I helped Mama Madwi in the garden thinking that would earn me some solid brownie points.

I think I used up all those brownie points and I don't think that invite back is gonna happen now

This morning Madwi was nice enough to let me roll out in his Z. After my previous excursion at ZDayZ 2018 before it was boosted, I should have known it wasn't going to go well

At least at ZDayZ we just scraped the exhaust cans a bit and got stuck behind a semi on the Dragon. Today I wasn't paying close enough attention and was unable to avoid a small rock that an oncoming vehicle kicked up in front of us. It blasted the windshield, skipping off the front edge of the painted roof

We got back and even Ted could tell something was wrong

For the record, the car drives amazingly well. The coolerworx shifter has a very nice feel and is a real treat to drive with. The turbo spool is downright beautiful. It spools hard and fast when you want it to and is still completely manageable. Driving the car casually is also extremely enjoyable as it stays very tame with light-mild throttle input even as RPMs rise and boost comes on. I see myself owning one in the very distant future lol

EW actually made it. He was kicking and screaming so hard about not going, who would have thunk it.

I recognized most of the folks in those pictures. Cool deal. I miss not coming and taking folks for a ride. Hopefully I will be back up and running soon enough. I like to see folks reaction when they get out, that pleases me more than anything. Giggles just make me drive harder.

Leingod · 07-06-2020, 01:11 PM

We just made it back home. Very minimal traffic right up until the last 5 miles and then construction...

Time for a nap!

Yup. At least insurance won't argue for repair vs replacement.

So Madwi invites you into his home. Lets you sleep in his house. Feeds you bagels and sh*t. Lets you drive his Z. And this is how you repay him.

Pure JAR right there
