What exactly does rotate like a plane mean? Never heard that one before.

Taking the Z to the golf course today. One more round of golf before daylight savings time kicks in.

The wall mounted spring compressor is a big reason to not do it at home. It helps having a master tech for a son too,

Nice photo. Need to be measuring from the ground up. Btw: the rear passenger side looks higher. It's normal until the springs settle. I can ride co pilot for about 500 miles and with my big phat arse sitting in the passenger seat it will drop soon enough.

That driveway looks steep, hope you made it out un scathed.

Yes, it's nice to have two master mechanic sons under the same roof. I would have thrown in pizza and beer.

So how did your alignment numbers come out?

Yes indeed! I'll be taking plenty of photos. I took the Z to the Dallas (actually in Plano) cars and coffee this morning. Amazing turnout as always. I'll post some pics up tonight after work. Here are 2 low quality iPhone pics, it's all I got until I upload the real stuff. The lot is huge. By 7:15am there were already about 50-70 cars, yes that's a half an hour before sunrise! You can't even see a quarter of the lot in this photo.

Dallaz · 11-05-2011, 12:46 PM

^^And yes people parallel park in front of other cars after about 8:30am when there are no spots left. It gets packed!

No large meet-n-greets in my area like Plana, TX. Occasionally we have EuroSunday with about 50 cars (exoctics). Most around here cannot even get up that early, dunno must be all the pollen in our Central Valley that keeps them sleeping at that hour of the morning. Myself I am up and on the road by 6:30 am.

Looking forward to your photos from the DSLR.
