I washed a thick layer of yellow pollen off my Z. Simple, eh? Nope.

(a)Plastic container of soap which had been left under the carport did not fare well during the winter and broke when it was picked up. No problem--poured enough soap into the reservoir of my foam gun to get the job done.
(b)The foam gun had also been left in the carport during the winter also and the plastic tube inside the reservoir broke when refilling it. I fashioned a plastic straw to replace it. ahh! Success!
(c)Right up until I immediately dropped the foam gun on the driveway and shattered the plastic reservoir.
(d)To sum up my day in one word: Plastics!

But my wife took pity on me and helped me wash my Z the old-fashioned way, so we did get the pollen and the cat tracks in the pollen removed. Luckily the cat is currently quarantined inside due to some sort of respiratory issue. Unfortunately, yesterday my wife took the cat to the vet who gave him three shots and a drip. The SOB is recovering nicely and will be tracking up my Z to his heart's content again in a few days

At least my Z is back to a nice clean red now rather than a dirty and dingy yellow!

Get yourself an airsoft rifle. Lay in wait like a sniper. Once the cat is on the Z. Light his asss up with the airsoft rifle. Hurt like helll. And leaves no marks on anything. He won't do it again after the second time of getting his asss light up.

Not worth it. They require quite a bit of maintenance to keep them in working order. When I spoke with a rep at the company, he told me he has to lube his cutouts once a month. He said even once every two weeks or more might be needed depending on the use and other environmental factors. He told me story of a customer who called to complain after his got stuck open and he got pulled over and got a ticket for the noise.

Oil change and washing has been completed. Put sealer on the wheels to help with cleaning.

Suches Loop as usual (19-180W-60) but I really need to give Richard Russell another go. Have you driven it recently?

My neighbor had QTP cutouts on his CTS-V and they sounded great but he only had the car for a few months so I'm sure they would've needed maintenance.
Basically looking for a little more volume but don't want to do testpipes/tune yet so we'll see

Last year when I had my Z up there. This loop is just east of the Suches loop: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ...n_Scenic_Byway

Beautiful driving up there!!

Hopefully not too much damage!
