Is that a trash can? I love that!

happytheman 01-30-2012 06:06 PM

Man my hose is just old school. You just coil it up and hang it on the hose caddy that's affixed to the side of the garage. You gotta remember, I haven't quite reached baller status like you have my friend! :)

those reels aren't that expensive. :tup: im not a huge fan of the auto-wind or the electric wind types. mine is the good ol' hand crank type using a high capacity kink free rubber hose (griot's sells the hose). :)

Kenchan, can you ask the wife if you can adopt a 33 year old man?

You have all the cool toys and I want to live in your house :icon17:

Well after a weekend of spirited driving I let my gas below the 1/2 tank mark to go fill up today only to realize that thanks to NC's stupid gas tax I am paying 3.80 a gallon and $60 to fill it up to the unlit LED on my fuel gauge. But all in all can't complain got a little extra wheel time in my car

Well, the pipe's fixed...$125 for labor and $3 for supplies.

Had to put her away wet in the end....because she really needs a proper sudsing. :(

Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning.

Don't ask for this...he'll put you to work as a keyboard stand. :tup:

kenchan 01-30-2012 08:52 PM

hey good to hear the pipe is fixed. :tup:

in cases like this (out of time, in the dark) i would use the hose to wash off the dust and finish using SprayOn CarWash inside the garage. :)

It's not too bad, I've had to clean them off my wife's Xterra before.

SPOHN 01-30-2012 08:57 PM

My GF just bought me a two year subscription to Nissan Sport Mag. Plus some back issues she thought I'd like. Woot.

Turnaround does not matter much because I am still waiting for my steering lock.

RobMan 01-31-2012 11:47 AM

I had an awesome sunny San Diego drive to work today. Windows down music up and a wide open twisty two lane road ahead of me. It was a great way to start the day. I have only had the car 2 months but I seem to be enjoying more and more every day.

When I ordered they said they were in stock. Although I ordered Fri and my order hasnt shipped yet.

But turnaround time dont matter to me either as my Z is off the road till spring.

It might keep my mind off of things like Nissan's world-class supply chain management.

i think they meant in-stock at the Koni warehouse. i hate stores that are like that... :( in-house should mean in-house at their store ready to ship within 24hrs.

Bought 36 sq.ft. of Duramat extreme for the hatch and doors. Can't stand the road debris in the wheelwells any longer. Road trip planned in mid Feb. I love listening to my engine and exhaust, but the sound of the Texas highways drive me crazy.

Yup, I know exactly what you mean! Every time I hear it I wince, and then hope it's just in the fender well. :(

I think the only saving grace here is the screaming Versa they hooked you up with! Have you gone cruising for babes in it yet?

Hang in there Mr. Onzedge!
