Well I'm tentative. Let me think about it/try to convince my husband. He'd be stuck with the kids that day and already says I have too many hobbies.

My Z's my third manual, so I'm not exactly a beginner. But I'd enjoy comparing manual-driving notes with others. For me personally, I'm fine with day-to-day driving, but I'd like to gain more confidence in my quicker-launch techniques. And I've love to discuss that over a cup of coffee with other Z owners sometime! Hopefully next time the St. Louis group has a meet it'll be on a weekend where I can get away and come meet everyone. Keb, I'll bring my wife along. The two of you can work on your first-gear starts together. She needs help too.

This is my first manual. I would like to know how to start off quick and switching into 2nd gear without snapping my neck in half. Hopefully you guys can show me!

I've looked at doing that road before, but continuing on Highway T to Labadie. Looks like a fun road that cuts through the river hollows, at least from Google Maps.My wife & I hit the wineries out on 94 a couple times a year, and I've always thought that the stretch from Matson to Dutzow was a fantastic stretch of road. So long as it's not packed with wine tour buses, which it is on many spring/fall weekends. But on a quiet weekend, it's great. It's not quite the real Dragon (done that a few times...  ), but it's a worthy drive with plenty of corners & elevation changes.Matson, MO to Dutzow, Charrette, MO - Google Maps There are actually a ton of quiet & sweet little roads over along the Missouri river. Lots to explore. If there's ever a group that wants to do a wine run out to Hermann and back, let me know. I know some good places.

The modded fit has the sport body kit exhaust intake and some kind of prototype coils I think. I know he had springs but the place he got them from offered for him to try out some new coils...this sounded odd to me but it's a fit. I figured I'd let him have it...lol
Cant wait till Zeaster! |
