Hey gang! Been absolutely slammed over the last six weeks or so and out of town quite a bit. I did drive the Z to dinner night before last. She is filthy and needs a good bath. Maybe this weekend... Hope you are all doing well!

yah, i use to live in LA long time ago and it was definitely nice. but i grew up where i am today so it's kinda like the homey place with good schools for kids, nice community, great neighbors (minus indian dood down the street with green yaris) etc.

thanks for the info and link. yah, i was looking at the noah one too. decided to go with the quick silver this time as i got a great deal on it and it will only be used inside the garage... the only time my Z really needs it is when i open the garage to pull out my G to go to work on a windy snow blowing day.

coool. that GTR button is once nice candy to have in the car. i always liked the red starter button on the S2K's. that is one car i was very very close to buying (S2KCR), but didn't.

Hello to you, sir! Hope everything is going well. I haven't really done anything car or car photo related in a while. I was even out of town for our last C&C. I have some catching up to do.

I just got word that my car cover that I returned to Cover Craft for their repair has been approved for a warranty claim!

Technalon® / Evolution®

I've been nearly three weeks without a cover and I park outside so I can't wait to get my cover back!

the NOAH is baller but probably overkill for your purpose.

Mine works pretty well year-round but they said that it deteriorated from excessive sun exposure after almost two years of ownership

The cover has a four year warranty so it's all good

My 240z lives under one of these covers when she is resting and I quite like it.

nice. i went with the quick-silver one as ive never heard of them (ive had noah covers in the past) and wanted to try. it is a custom-fit for the Z so should be okay. price was like $170 shipped. as long as it repells water droplets and dont flap around (which it shouldn't since custom fit) im good.

1) OEM - too small, didn't last very long and crappy material

2) Friends used over - was already in pretty bad condition barely used it two months and then the materials broke down

3) Cover Craft - Lasted almost two years until material broke down

4) Cover Craft #2 - Crossing fingers
hahaha! yah, you're right! i will remind him. you use the cover almost on a daily basis then? that's not bad if it lasted 2yrs in that case.
