I always waited until it was warm and we had a few good rain storms to get the salt and chemicals off of the roads.


Usually April

:iagree:

Of course, keeping fingers crossed for an early Spring. Mid/late March would be nice. Either way, it's getting closer. Looking forward to meet in early April.

I decided to wait until late Spring early Summer before tinting windows. Want the weather to be warm full time in order to properly cure the tint.

I actually had one of the shortest commutes ever. The was no one on the roads at all.

Ni55anPat 02-27-2013 03:30 PM

I left work at 9, took me about the same time...nobody was on the road.

The Dimer 02-27-2013 03:35 PM

I let at 4:00, but I went from Whiting, IN to Bolingbrook, IL. The snow south of the city wasn't too bad, and they sent all the contractors from the refinery home around noon.

ZMan8 02-27-2013 06:18 PM

I took train into city for bulls game after work then back home at 11 pm and roads were empty. :tup:

One_Quick_Z 03-02-2013 06:57 PM

Should have bought my stance coils lol

Ni55anPat 03-02-2013 07:03 PM

Haha I know

BR and ER. What's the different between those with BC?

ZMan8 03-05-2013 02:03 PM

Don't they have one set that's true coil over and one that is not.

tiger123 03-05-2013 05:25 PM

Just curious, anyone from here plan to attend the Zdays in North Carolina this coming May 15 thru 18th?

I am strongly considering it. It sounds like a lot of fun. Anyone from here attend in years past?

Thinking we may be a able to get a Chicago "Z" Convoy heading down there?

ZMan8 03-05-2013 06:04 PM

I might be interested but check hotels...the resort is completely booked up.

I called the main resort and was placed on wait list. There are 30 people ahead of me on the list. The resort also gave me four other hotels in close proximity. I haven't contacted them yet. If your interested, below are the numbers. I don't the name of each, the woman at the resort went through them quickly.

828-479-8464
828-479-1251
828-479-6772
828-479-8450

I will contact each of these later this afternoon and post my results.

BTW, the cost at the main resort is $74/night at the main hotel and $85/night for a one bedroom cabin. Not bad. I am on the waiting list for either room.

Ordered the Berk CBE and according to FedEx, it should be here this coming Saturday 3/9/13.

My daughters boyfriend is a mechanic which of course is a big help. We will be installing the CBE on Sunday 3/10/13.

The Berks now have Round Tips which is my preference. Can't wait.

Anyone enjoy the foot of snow we received yesterday? Their calling for above freezing temps for the remainder of the week and into the 40's on Saturday and possibly 50 on Sunday. Lets melt this **** already, not to mention good weather for installing an Exhaust.

I wish I would have made it to a Zdayz.....:(



Maybe in the future.....



Side note, the editor of the former Nissan Sport Magazine contacted me about my article that was supposed to be in that magazine, said that he has started another Z magazine and wanted that same article to run in this new mag... But I he wanted me to be a member of windy city Z club that is how you get an article you need to be affiliated with a Z club so I told him about chicagoZ waiting to hear back from him lol.

Alright, I made some calls. Results as follows.

828-479-8464: Number is no longer in Service.
828-479-1251: Left message. So far no call back.
828-479-6772: Microtel. Located approx 30 minutes from Fontana, NC.
Has rooms available from 5/15/13 thru 5/18/13. Rates are $67/night for regular room and $76/night for suite.
828-479-8450: The Appalachian Inn. Located approx 30 minutes from Fontana. Only a couple of rooms available. Rates are $130/night for regular room and $150/night for a suite.

Not really interested in staying 30 minutes plus away from the festivities. Will wait and see if room/cabin opens up at the resort. If not, there is always next year. In addition, there appears to be other events to consider. Looking forward to Chicago meet in early April to start off with.

I will if he emails me back, But I think he wants the cars he has in the magazine related to the clubs that are sponsors for the mag. I know ChicagoZ isnt a sponsord group but I am hoping he has at least heard of it lol.
