I used to work in public accounting and we were always busy during that time so I couldn't go. Now though I can and would really like to.

I have to take a look at my vacation plans for this year before I decide. If I go, I would want to for a week.

:welcome: and congrats on the new Z.

First thing first... don't molest your car yet!!!


Learn to enjoy it first and THEN figure out what you wanna change. :tup:

1badZ 01-13-2014 09:50 AM

Thanks, only thing on my list for now is a set of track pads and a oil cooler. Plan on doing a lot of HPDE and changing things needed from there.

Can't wait for spring to pull the car out!

Just thought I would let all know I am currently in Miami, FL. on a business trip. Yesterday it was 72F and today it will be cold with a high of only 63F.

They are all complaining how cold it is today. It's sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Feels just great. Too funny.

I have seen several 370's as well as a couple of 350's here. Makes me want to drive my Z really bad........It's also making me sick to my stomach thinking about heading back to Chi Town tonight.....back to the cold......back to the ice....back to the Midwest Winter ********.

For those who are driving their Z this winter....how's it handling all the crazy weather we've been getting?

1badZ 01-27-2014 12:46 PM

As long as your on snow tires should be just fine as long as you don't have a open diff base. I went through 3 winters on my 350 no prob

It's actually a trooper. I've had it in snow as deep as i can find, and found the end of the steering rack while coming around a corner.

I DO, however, avoid driving and starting the car that hasn't been in a heated garage. So no -10F starts for her.

I'm jealous........that you're driving the Z. Spring can't come soon enough!

If it's "warmer" this weekend I think I'm going to install my Swifts and spacers. If I can't drive the Z, I'll still wrench on it!
