What did you do with your Z today

^dude, he could barely hear his passenger talk over the road noise, which is a clear problem.

I need a car that can drown them out completely

Also, yes, our trans sucks. One of the things that drives me nuts about the car.

Maybe it's me, but after removing the stock spring (I still haven't put the new one in yet), a lot of the clunks/clanks/rattles I heard/felt going from 1st to 2nd sorta disappeared. There's still sometimes an ugly sound... but it's not nearly as bad and I don't nervously look around anymore to see who heard me flip the cement mixer switch.

Your avatar gives me the creeps and I do not know why.

I think I spent a hour taking the plasti dip off. Some of the stuff wouldn't come off with my fingers so I used tape. I took off the fog light to get into the crevice. Lesson learned. Now I'm thinking of getting a cf overlay.

Yeah i have no idea what he is referring to. My wife and i go out in the z all the time with highway jaunts, and we both have no issue with conversations.

Another plasti dip desserter? Why so?

I just missed the construction that was done in our building parking lot after I left yesterday. No one coned it but my usual spot and about 30 others had been jack hammered with 8 inch deep and three foot by three foot holes for some reasons. I go in at 5:30 a.m. so it is still dark but saw them in time. Could have been a rough entry. Of course, I had a long discussion with the facility manager, who claimed he did not know any thing about it. RIGHT! The night guard told me was notified but not the number.

I have 4 - 5 ramps within a couple miles that are a blast -- within posted speed limits, of course.

I am bummed when they are not empty.
