Nothing, my baby is sitting in the garage. It has been raining here in Vegas for the last 4 days. I just got it polished, so I'm driving my truck till the rain stops and the roads dry up. Then I can bring her back out and enjoy my nice shiny Z!

Went to go get another session on my tattoo, and when I pulled into traffic from a light I forgot that it was a little chilly out and spun through first and second with traction control on. I kinda apologized to the car afterwards, lol.

Went to starbucks and listened to a kid asking me how fast my car is and that he raced one in an f150 and beat it. Then he asked what color my car was. It's black. Black is black. Don't know of any other variations of black. It's black as black can be. Then listened to him say how awesome it is over and over and over and that he was getting a camero for HIGH SCHOOL graduation. Wow, for high school.

I took the battery out. That wasn't on my list, though.
In the process of attaching proper terminal leads for my Battery Minder (I didn't feel good about the clamps), I dropped a nut that went under the battery tray. Besides the fact that I needed this nut to tighten the negative battery cable, I didn't want to just replace it with a new one and leave the old one rattling around in the battery compartment. Let me just say, what a pain in the *** it is to get the battery out of this car!
Put it all back together, reprogrammed all my settings in the car, and came in to check the forum to get my windows to work properly.
Topped off the tank and added some Stabil, then I went for a drive.
Backed it into the driveway to see if having the back of the car facing the garage door would help alleviate the problem of the cover lifting during windy conditions. Hooked up the Battery Minder and put on the cover.
That project took 2 hours longer than it was supposed to.
Having a drink. Whew.

looked at it in the garage, like most days.

LunaZ · 12-27-2010, 08:34 AM

I re-applied the car cover.
It doesn't stay on for sh*t in gusty conditions.
For some unexplicable reason, my windows were down. I had a freakin' heart attack!

ZPirate · 12-27-2010, 01:12 PM

Drove it on Christmas afternoon.

Since then its been in the garage because fo the snow.

Mt Tam I am · 12-27-2010, 03:06 PM

This morning I left the house around 9AM, a nice 51*F, clear, sunny and still a bit wet from days of rain. Although the road conditions were not perfect for all out driving, it was not bad for spirited mountain fun either. In all my life the drive I took has never been totally devoid of cars and bicyclists, until today. After twenty minutes I met another car, who knew what he was doing. He pulled off after 5 minutes and left the coastal then country road wide open.

When I arrived at my destination, a bakery 45 minutes from home, in a town of 200, far from the beaten path, I ordered 5 loaves of bread as they came from the oven. Hopped in the car and raced home. Except for the Volvo which needed passing, the handful of cars I encountered used the first pull out they found.

What a great drive home too, the smell of freshly baked bread, coupled with my new Hotchkis sways made for a great first day off. The last time I made this drive in a spirited way I went into limp mode. With the oil cooler I never hit 220* albeit 8* cooler ambient temp.

I'm giving blood at 4PM just for grins later, so I've got another drive yet today.

That sounds like a perfect day. BTW: The Hotchkis sways made one of the biggest differences of my modfications.

My Z is clean and covered -- sitting in my garage awaiting my return from Minnesota.

It was perfect. I am sorry for your wait. Thanks for the nod.
