What did you do with your Z today

kenchan · 12-28-2011, 11:37 AM

congrats, mr. and mrs. thegreatone!

regarding the trickle charger, i'd suggest you get one that has float mode like the BatteryTender sold at amazon.

trickle chargers tend to over-charge and prematurely kills the battery. ive been using the battery tender (manager) for many years with much success.

Thanks! and thanks for the tip Mr. Kenchan

I'll definitely check with my buddy to see how the charger is set up...last thing I want is to get stranded sometime next summer

Hopped in the Z to pick up my new 24" IPS panel monitor that I ordered. So hard to find quality 1920x1200 resolution monitors now - I refuse to settle for cheap TN panels that render at 1080p.

We spent some quality time today. About a week-old and still unnamed though, it's definitely a boy though! My short antenna came in today and HE was so happy with that minor but effective upgrade. it was about 60 deg today and very sunny, so top was done for most. Just still getting to know one another. My boy is still a little hurt after getting traded in with just 5k miles. I am showing lots of love though, name to come soon.

Nice, congratulations on your new boy! In for pics! Hopefully you carry a series of them in your wallet, like all proud parents!

Sweet! Are you going to use the glossifier, or leave it flat black? I'll be keeping an eye on your journal!

hahaha, funny you mention that cause i do carry my kids picts in my wallet. i carry my car picts (mine are both girls btw, Z and G) in my droidx.

no Z action (she's under the cover) today... the other day after washing my G i noticed a tiny bit of one-step sealant left over from the last detail along the bottom curve of the rear bumper, so claybar'ed it off is am using SprayOn Wax as lube as it's cold outside and the clay is pretty stiff.

looks perfect again.

i need to order more griot's mud (clay) next season for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 23° temp on my way to work this morn. Car felt FULL of power. If only it always felt like that when I mash the gas. Now that Im at work (i work outside) Im not enjoying the cold temps nearly as much.

Ordered Hotchkis sway bars and 15mm H&R DRS spacers for all four wheels this morning. Can't wait to receive them and get them installed.
