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

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.

Bill and Jar disappeared for a little while and then showed up with two big *** fans for the garage. It was HOT this past weekend and we all sweated a lot. The fans are amazing and were a really big surprise. I bow to their generosity.
