Absolutely! :tup:

In the process of sending Happy thoughts to Hal you managed to send happy thoughts to the entire Z community. Good dead Sir good dead.

Took the Z out to get some fair-trade coffee from the local coffee house. Drove by a Dude Bro rocking a gansta lean in a Z06... he was giving me the stink eye. :ugh2: Still, it was a really enjoyable jaunt, spring is here! :happydance:

Huh? :confused:

Just finished polishing up my exhaust tips with some Mothers :tup:

Couple comparison shots..

I went out to get the Mrs. and I some coffee to drink. On my journey out, I drove past a guy (Dude Bro Urban Dictionary: dude bro) he was driving a Corvette Z06. As I drove past him, he was giving me a dirty look (I call it the stink eye Urban Dictionary: stink eye)... I found his reaction odd, but it didn't bother me as I enjoyed my quick drive on a nice spring day. :tup:

The gangsta lean!
A common driving position in which the driver holds the wheel with his left hand while leaning to his right toward the passenger seat, usually bobbing his head or bumpin' with the beat. It's a pretty badass way to drive. This move works best in a Chevy Caprice or any pimp-style car with a 3-person front seat.

Ah ha. Now I get it. Thanks for the lingo help. :tup:

Thanks! I forgot to add the gansta lean definition. :tup:


I apologize, this type of lingo is not normal for me either. Does this mean I'm getting "old"? :D

Bought a fuel jug to help keep me full at the track due to stravation. :shakes head: Keeps me from running to the store less often due to the track here don't sell 93 octane to us.

Had to fit my CSF radiator a/c assembly that's about it.

Shiny. :tup:

Yea because that's not much. I hate you.:tup:

:icon23:

Back at yea

So true, thanks!

Wishing for a speedy recovery. Get well soon!!

Thanks, it gets scarier today when I arrived at UCD Medical Center. More on the update in a bit.

2nd round drive will get the adrenaline flowing. :tup:

Fire, thanks, things can only get better. We both have a great upbeat attitude!!

So true, we have been so careful and following all of the doctors advise. Turned out to be an internal initially caused infection, so nothing we did or not do caused the infection. Good to know, can sleep at night again.

Thanks Mr. onzedge, good talking to you this morning. Sometimes just talking about the procedure, cause and effect helps with my mental state and keeps me strong.

Thanks gurneyeagle, appreciate it. So sad on your spoiler issue and btw the car still looks good at oem ride height.

This really hurt him......he was looking over my shoulder as I was reading all of the wonderful well wishes. These are important no matter how large or small he knows about all of the Z Community and the support you have given him. Hurt him...that he laughed so hard it hurt. Thanks bro, it made his day.

ditto :tup:

Thanks, very appreciative with all of your support. :-)

Got my LED strips all wired up, everything was working great and then somehow while reinstalling the front bumper I broke the passenger side LED strip, three lights not working. :mad:

I was so disappointed cuz everything was looking sweet. Now I must reorder and do it again.

Any idea how much it is gonna run me to get the bumper resprayed, lots of lil dings from previous owner?

Hooded it up. Took some pics with a real camera. Now just have to get a good warm day to really take it out about about.

Mr. ZForce: update on the bro - Hal
 

Ok...on with scarier bit on the bro. Arrived this morning after talking on the phone with Mr.onzedge (btw Donald, glad I canceled today's trip over to your house, it turned out to be the best decision). Any-who, arrived at hospital and was given the news: The infection was still draining a lot of fluid and they think it's more that just an infection at the incision.

First let me spill the beans, as I have been keeping it under wraps as to what was surgically done (removed) and the diagnosis. His left upper lung lobe was removed and is cancerous (sarcoma). Sarcoma is a fatty tissue type of cancer. There are 17 variations of sarcoma and his was labeled leoxxxx sarcoma. The good new is that the oncologist said at this time since its growing at such a slow (6 years plus to grow)that NO treatment would do him any good at this time. For the treatment to work, the cancer cell needs to be growing and wide open and his is NOT, it's dormant and slow growing. Hence at this time no treatment. Yeh....

He had some complications (rare complications with the upper lobe removal) the lung had a leak, and air pockets developed between his skin and flesh (he looked like the incredible hulk), and now the infection.

Ok, they think the infection is from the last air pocket that was reseeding and the infection manifested itself in the air pocket. So tomorrow he is gong under surgery again to remove the air and clean out the bacteria. It's good that they are not cutting into his lung again. They discovered that the fluid (bacteria - pus) had increased overnight.

We are in good spirits and have an upbeat attitude that this will be the last. The doctors have said they are going to write a book on him. He will be in the hospital until Friday.

ZForce, very sorry to hear that,

Best wishes and hope your bro will get through this!!! :tiphat:

:iagree:

Sucks to hear that.

Yea... Spring let me feel the Z and Z let me feel the Spring. ;)

Hal and Mr. Zforce. You will get through this! All the best and speedy recovery! Positive thoughts going out to you guys.

Hal & ZForce - may the force be with you. :tup: get well soon! :)

Today was a sunny day in the Rochester, NY area, and the temperature hit 60! Me and the wife took the Z out to run some errands. After almost 3 months of owning my Z34, I'm still in love . :-D

Lunaz, your ride is looking :yum: after hibernation!

Bbigby64, I've had mine for a year now and I'm still all like "GIGGITY" when I get to take her for a drive.

Good morning fellow members of this awesome community! I'm about to pull 'er out for a 40 min ride! :happydance:

Me Gusta!!!! lol.


Happy Monday everyone:ugh2:

Mr. ZFORCE, Im sorry to hear about your family problems. I hope everything ends up ok. Best wishes to you guys.

Good Morning All! :hello:

With my son in for Spring Break so I'm driving his Tacoma and the Z is safely parked in the garage.

Still deciding what to do about the paint damage on the bumper from my run in with a curb this weekend. While the "spider-webbing" is definitely noticeable, what it's going to take to fix it is going to be a pain since I've got a clear bra on it.

I'm going to call my insurance agent today and see what exactly my policy covers. I would estimate the damage to be at least $1,500 to $2,000 when you factor in the diffuser, paint repair, and removal/reapplication of the clear bra.

Sigh.

Its pretty cool about 10 minutes into it when the Miller Lite NASCAR blows by me, then blows his engine in turn 10A and spews oil all over my car.

Thanks guys we appreciate the warm wishes.

Good morning everyone!

Time change totally screwed me up and I couldn't sleep last night, blah

Curious if anyone who has had their rims powdercoated. I don't have any other set of rims, how would I go about getting them powdercoated?... Leave my car on a lift or jacks or something?

Great video. :tup:
