Yeah, there's a great torrent on the internet titled "top 100 greatest hits of turbos spooling and blow off valves". Tracks 8 and 22 are my favorite. :bowrofl:

Today I had the pleasure of filling in a 1/8" x 1/2" scratch on my passenger side front fender due to some moron's landscaping truck dropping mud and rocks all over the highway at 75 mph.

It's way too white and sort of resembles a blister but I think it will shrink a little. I'll be damned if I'm paying $500 to have that **** blended into the doors/hood until I get a few more, you know what I mean?

Keep the hits comin 98 :ughdance: Sorry you hit Davey, hope it comes out good.

Hey, I figure I have no excuse to not drive it anywhere, now... So long as it's on the front somewhere the 2nd ding is free! :D

Left the ZR in the garage today because it looked pretty nasty (the weather not the Z). Turned out to be smoke from nearby fires in the Dismal Swamp. Cleared up by about 10 when the winds changed direction. Need to schedule my 15k maint. tomorrow.


I knew that big @$$ snail was plastic. :rolleyes: I am still trying to figure out how to wire my boost gauge to the go pedal. :tup:


Davey- Love that avatar!!! Sorry to hear about your scratch!

davey- sorry to hear. :( i too had a blemish on my previous (temporary) dd which was in a fenderbender a few years ago on the passenger side fender.... i fixed it to the point 90% of people wont even notice but i always wanted someone to hit me again on that panel for a free $1K check. :D

:icon18: hahaha, i know but just wanted to share. :tup:


hahaha!! :icon23: whoops, i meant :tup:

Yeah, once it shrinks I'll buff it and it should blend OK and just look a little off-color (and not pearl.) I don't think it was through the primer so it shouldn't rust, but I dunno, maybe I'll go get an estimate. I just hate to not be driving it! :driving:

Get the dr color chip kit and smooth it in a couple of times and let it dry before polishing smooth. Sorry to hear about the scratch. makes your heart sink when you see it.


On another note, I knocked 8k into the odometer today with a nice highway drive.

Drove it for the first time in the rain and all I have to say is: whoa, slippery..when..wet... hahah

aka turn on vdc and slow down?

Hey Beach how is the swamp doin? I blew up a VW Bug on the long bridge in the Dismal Swamp years ago going from Oceana to Cherry Point. Again good luck with the blemish Davey, yes our cars where meant to be driven and driven hard so they are bound to have small imperfections.

Hahahha, I did that too over the weekend. I have continental DW's on the car and they gripped pretty damn well... well, that's until I drove my G in the same condition which is running bridgestone S04's. The S04's is the clear winner. :) biggest difference was over painted lines on the road. Where the Z spun a little with moderate acceleration G did not... even with a pretty aggressive launch for wet.

Swamp is good today. Wind must be blowing the right way. :) Drove the ZR in this morning and just scheduled 15k at lunch time. Tried to get a Juke but they don't have one in the rental dept yet. Maybe next time.


Yeah, that is a good rund down that way as long as you don't blow anything up. I blew up a baja bug back in the day myself. :tup:

Thanks for the praise.
