What did you do with your Z today III

Good morning guys. I'm at the dealership for an A/C problem. While carving through canyons yesterday near San Antonio with a large group of Z's, something happened to the A/C.

Good morning guys.

I'm at the dealership for an A/C problem. While carving through canyons yesterday near San Antonio with a large group of Z's, something happened to the A/C. I found the issue after the group stopped for a quick cool-down and I noticed a green liquid pooled on top of the front lip. My guess is either a rock punctured it, or a hose, or a hose popped off during the run. Hopefully, the damage isn't extensive. Fingers crossed.

Also, I wanted to thank the guys who left the group to search for me after I lagged so far behind that I disappeared. I don't know your screen names, but I've seen your Z's before. Thank you so much for the encouragement and your help. Good dudes.

Morning guys. Sorry to hear about the damage d. Hope it is something simple and covered under warranty. To address the camera posts I have a HP Photosmart E317 5.9 Megapixels point and shoot. Do hope to get a Go pro motorsports edition. I do have a question for those f you who know go-pro. I plan to track my ZL1 2-3 times a year and run the Tail of Dragon next year. Should I go with the Hero or Hero2. I'm not much of a photo geek and don't know alot about filming or taking pics with it.

If you can afford the difference, go with the Hero 2. It's better in every way.

It's only 240 vs 300 so no big deal, I just don't want to spend extra for something I may not use to it's extra benefits.

Well, if better image quality is important to you for stills and video, then the Hero 2 is for you. Check out the GoPro website, you can do a comparison and see side by side the differences. I am looking to get one, I decided on the Hero 2 because of the better quality video. That's a feature you'll use every time you use the GoPro so the extra cost is well worth it in my eyes.

dAvenue, what's the dealer got to say about the a/c issue? In for an update! Hope it's a quick, cheap fix.

A rock punctured the condenser. I'll need a new one but it comes with a new radiator which is really expensive. We're just going to drive back to Dallas without A/C and begin a more detailed search for parts. Not good news but not horrible either.

A/C? or rad coolant? I didn't think A/C had colour to it.
