What did you do with your Z today

Of course the SUV suffered minor damage to the bumper and my car got the worst of it. I didn't expected that much damage at that speed. I have been so pissed that I haven't want to talk about it.

They got scratched the second I put them on. I was just tired of dealing with the thin *** weds coatings so I'm doing something about it. Pics coming soon.

I just give it 3-4 layers of tape if my protective sockets are in use on another ratchet. No scratches. . Another reason why I usually roll in my wheels loose than bring the car to the tire store (unless tirerack cause they know how to handle wheels not to scuff them).

Those are very nice sockets.

No Z action today, again. Spending today and tomorrow with Microsoft folks and then heading to San Diego/Coronado for goofing off and a convention. I am going to Coronado where I spent Jr High and High School years -- for the first time in many years. Look for pics in the DSLR thread next week.

Oh well, hopefully won't have much of an issue from now on.
