What did you do with your Z today II

No Z action today due to expected rain and thunderstorms. Perhaps a bit of patio furniture shopping awaits us, however.

Ehh, we'll see. Tires have a historical pattern of going up in production cost about 15% or so every year. the price of rubber has been going up for the last couple of years, so some of the tire companies planted a whole crap load of trees in '05, and they should be ready right about now. But I haven't read up on it in a bit, so something may have changed and I could be totally wrong lol. It's usually the case.

Huck your at Victoria's Secret? As for tire prices they go like everything else. They raise the price 15% for a 2% transport increase. It's called economics (better known as new math). It don't add up but what can ya do?

So i'm thinking of giving the engine bay more show look. Can anybody comment on the z1 hoses. Worth it... waste of money? I want the red ones, but with the engine heat will they fade over time to orange?

I'm thinking the PCV hoses and Brake Booster hose to start off with $42 total.

Dunno Zman, but for as cheap as they are it would be worth it to bite the bullet and get 'em. I myself was just perusing the Z1 post MAFs and radiator hose replacements in red.
