I plead the 5th! Let's just say no one else was around and I paid to drive on that road. :icon17:

Feeling ok, I can feel the pressure coming back behind my eye. Or is that part of the hangover.....who knows?

Morning dad!

Good morning, honorary daughter. I got only sons. At least I get a grand-daughter soon.

So, while taking my Dad around the block for his afternoon walk yesterday, I spotted this guy. I am thinking "overcompensate much, buddy?" Seriously, it is as tall as his garage.

Nope. I bring my own wash bucket and everything. I only use the their water and their conditioner. I use Meguiars wash and wax, the yellow one with the GTR on the front, it makes my car faster I'm sure of it.

I love this stuff.

I have just been reading about your eye problem. Hope it gets better.

My daughter had so get some vaccinations to teach at a school and the after she got the shots she could not stand up as her eyes had become crossed and she experienced severe dizziness. She went to the hospital and they conducted all kinds of tests and finally gave her some medicine and recommended another doctor.

She went to another doctor who turned out to be an optician not an ophthalmologist!

He in turn sent her to another doctor, an ophthalmologist, who said the medicine the hospital gave her was not going to do any good...He said the problem would cure itself in time and if it did not he would have to operate to straighten out the eye. Luckily it cured itself..

The best we can figure it that she was under severe stress and the vaccinations put to much of a strain on her system.

So keep up your spirits and I bet you will be just fine. I am not a doctor but I cant help thinking drinking cannot be good for you..

Good luck and keep us posted

Mr.gale- looks like the real sony is the winner. That or using my audio recorder as mic and preamp. Best sound recording audio separately (dynamic range and noise floor) :tup:

Fake sony clipped even before I got to the street as expected per my stereo volume test.
I'm going to keep it though and probably mod it with 10k. :p

steering lock cb pull and 0-60 pull acomplishment
 
Here is what I did... it turned out to be yet another magic Z moment!

I finally pulled my steering lock circuit breaker (09 sport). The steering wheel doesn't do its pre-start dance anymore and the car starts with no delay.

I must say getting the fuse box out was more challenging than I had envisioned reading all your posts, but was definitely do-able.

Also I broke one of my little plastic trim rivets. :( and dropped a pocket knife down into my engine bay which came to rest on my lower plastic engine cover. getting that out was harder than the cb pull as I was at a buddies house. (no jack stands to get under there) I had to drive around a crappy part of town looking for a high enough curb to prop up a wheel so I could wiggle under the car to unscrew my cover.

A couple very helpful prostitutes came up to ask if I was okay and one offered to join me under the car. I don't think she was too good with tools (not the kind I was trying to employ anyhow) so I politely refused, finished my business and did my best ever 0-60 time departing the area!!!!

Woo Hoooo! Personal best 0-60 pull and a successful engine control mod all in one night.

If you're looking for a fang cover, look at the one theZstore sells. I just bought one. Nice piece, fits good, and covers all the painted areas.

Definitely, I think The Z Store is an EVO-R vendor so I'll check that out next payday.

Haha I agree, but I'm shipping my car overseas next month, so I've decided to hold off on the HU and lowering since the shipping company the DoD uses has a bit of a reputation for having sticky fingers and not being able to drive the cars. Once I get settled in Europe, HU, springs, and wheels are first on my to-do list!

Here's how my day went. I woke up early to head down the highway to meet up with a detailing buddy who had a job at a friends garage. He called me the night before to prepare me for the ultimate man's garage. Sounded good, but really I was just interested in taking the Z for a drive and having some adult interaction.

On my way to the ultimate garage I stopped to pick up coffee for everyone. As I step out of the coffee shop I see this parked front and centre.

He started to pull out as I was leaving, I gave him a thumbs up and he reciprocated. He was behind me as we were getting on the highway, but not for long. The owner mashed that little pedal on the right and I was in awe of hearing such a beautiful symphony and watching the McLaren fly past me.

Shortly after that treat I made it to my destination and was in awe. The ultimate man garage,

Under the cover on the left side, up on the lift was a replica Cobra. I didn't get a chance to see it with the cover off today because the box for the old Mercury was under it.

I don't know why, but I had this feeling Mr.onzedge was watching over us,

Hey guys... back from my day at the beach. I have two broken cars now.

Right after I paid the toll for the Bay Bridge I went to put the driver window back up... SNAP. The cable that lifts the glass snapped in half... so the glass just falls right down into the door now. :mad:

I'm waiting on parts for the 5.0 (working on it next Saturday) and now I have to check to see if my Honda Care extended warranty covers the window cable or if I need to do it myself. Left it in my parent's garage and borrowed one of their cars temporarily. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I might buy that 5 series after all. Gotta have three cars in case two are broken. :facepalm:

Cool, so to sum things up...

Recording farts and heavy breathing inside the cabin = real Sony

Recording exhaust noise = Audiotechnica

Oh, the window broke on the way to the beach. It was 7am so the only place open was Walmart... stopped there to get a small tool kit. Took the driver door panel off to see if I could do any on the fly repair. Nope! Picked up a cheap car cover just so I could keep crap out of the car while I left it parked all day. :mad:

So my MIL's car got messed up a couple of weeks ago (long story) and I've been driving her around while it's in the shop getting fixed. I quickly found out that she does NOT like going fast. The first time I took the clover leaf exit off the highway at 70 mph I had to slow down because she screamed so loud I thought she was going to pee my car seat. She's gotten a bit more used to it, so this video doesn't do her justice, but it's still entertaining :)

Hangover gone, sinus pressure back. :(



Took a very fast, very twisty ride in a friend's STI today. I'm thinking all Subaru owners are just a bit nuts.

Sucks about the sinus pressure. :shakes head:

That's what we were detailing today. You can barely see it in the garage. It was getting opti-coated. Cool little cars :tup:
