Nope just the round glass pot. :bowrofl:

Most of my coffee comes from my pot at home or from the groovy Keurig at home. I do indulge in the occasional Starbucks Americano w/ 2 extra shots and sometimes a Peet's because one of our developer's wife works there and brings a tray by the offfice sometimes.

I sometimes get Tim Horton's after an ambulace call we go over and get some there. It is only a couple blocks from the hospital.

That's the story of my life. With all my previous cars and motorcycles, I think this will be my first car that I don't just jump into full modifying ever. Will have to take my time on this one.

Fire 03-28-2012 10:39 AM

I've already planned 4 or 5 mods for my ZL1 if it ever gets built.:ugh2:

Footloose301 03-28-2012 10:41 AM

Good idea. My plan was to do one thing per month only just so I stay interested. It's been 3 months now since I've modded it so I'm in the market for something but not sure what yet. I was supposed to be TT'n the Z but with Fast Intentions right around the corner on a TT kit I decided to get a motorcycle to curb my appetite.

Fire 03-28-2012 10:43 AM

Chat with you guys tomorrow have to get going here working tonight.:hello:

PapoZalsa 03-28-2012 10:44 AM

Took the car the the dealer for the hatch and fuel sender issue. They fix the hatch bumps, however the sending unit is bad so they have to order it.

I told the Service Representative: "Is that what I told you in the begining?" The sending unit is bad....duuhhh!!!!!!!! He gave me another lame excuse.

Now waist more time, take time from work to take it in when the part comes in. I tell you... :shakes head:

Decaf coffee (black) most of the time for me. Love going to the local fair trade coffee house. Honestly I could care less abut the coffee being fair trade, I just enjoy their nice grinds. I also enjoy the occasional green tee (black, er, green?). I'll have a diet pop in the evening, good wine when we have company over for special occasions, and some nice micro brew or import beer maybe once a month... maybe.

Everything in moderation. :tup:

Child-labor harvested beans grown in regions ruled by warlords who use the coffee profits to buy guns taste far better than fair-trade beans. Cheaper, too. Just saying....

kenchan 03-28-2012 12:49 PM

for those that questioned about added negative camber from spacers... when you push the wheel out with spacers your wheel rate for the suspension lowers. wheel rate in simple terms is the suspension system spring rate measured at the tire vs at the spring or spring+shock assy.

so when you push the tire outwards the tire has more leverage to compress the suspension... this can result in the car sitting slightly lower than usual (probably unmeasureable to the eye).

Mr.kenchan, this is what I am thinking too! :tup:

That why I always ask the effect on camber when having wider spacers.

Wow, never thought of it like that. Hmm, so, if I change my coffee allegiance to the cheaper, large corporate Coffee Shops, I could possibly be part of the demise of an independent local retailer who doesn't see fit to help those coffee bean picking kids? Really, I'd be making the switch for the kids...
