Nah, I just wanted something to do since I'm not going to be getting any expensive mods for a while.

Gotta pay full price for a new cell phone, so there goes my idea of a new HU & speakers... though, I do have a birthday coming up, may get something for that.

Great story!

I get something similar when driving the bros Z (red ) to work when everyone knows I have a silver Z. Responses are either " I thought your car is silver or did you buy a new red Z"

I tell them" have you heard of the new cars that can park themselves? Well this is some new technoloy with some special paint that I can change the color with a button on my FOB. I also have a license plate that revolves to different plate numbers ". And my other car is an Aston Martin !!

Phones can get expensive......buddy of mine his phone died 2 months prior new contact,so hew picked up a $39 phone switched the sim chip amd va-la has a phone until contract allows for upgrade.

The rear back up led replament looks very sharp wth the led license plate light. Set ya back about $13 per pair..IRC.

That's the thing, I have Verizon and to keep unlimited data I have to pay full price for a phone, regardless of where I am in my contract.

Oh well, it will let me consolidate things to one item once I get this iPhone - no more phone + iPod and will work out better when I do get my 2DIN HU.

I think the most immediate next thing I'm doing is window tint. Summer is approaching quickly and I haven't done it yet.

I am taking the Jag to work today. I need to take out a thing or two from the Z first. I can get more groceries in the XKE.

I waved by to her as I closed the garage door. We got a dusting of snow here in Alabama, so I drove the wifes car in.

It wasn't that bad. There were icy spots in the shade this morning but nothing major. But if I had the choice I would of left my Z in the garage this morning too. However it is too cold for the bike and well ice definately doesn't mix on two wheels.

Go to Zcargarage in San Jose. Nothing but Z cats and rob the owner is dialed in to all sorts of cool events.

p.s. my rims look like new! 100 bucks per rim is a pretty sweet deal. He sanded off rash, primed painted and clear coated. Cheap fix works great.

Other shop charges 200 per wheel to put on a lathe and re machine. Then they would re-powder coat the wheel. Probably a "better" fix, but overkill for my light damage. (I only considered cause I was going to have them darken up my wheels a shade or two with the powder coating.)
