What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Mecinoid · 04-18-2013, 04:04 AM

I took my bird for a ride. She sat on my shoulder. We had a few OMG looks from others. Her comments: "Dad, I love you a lot." and when asked if she was having fun her reply was, "Yeah" and she chirpped a lot. ;-) Nice to have a buddy when you cruise. Especially, of the small green alien variety.

The only part I don't like about cruisin' with Julie (that is the bird's name) is that she makes me turn down the radio. If I do not she nips at my neck or shoulder. All and all she is a great bird though.

Tomorrow, I plan to clean the Z and put on another Zaino coat.

Last night I put my new underdrive pulley on and re-installed my now-wrapped driver's side long tube header..

Best I got was from a soccer mom who stalked me around the Dulles parking lot

"If you keep driving like that you're going to kill someone"

to which I replied

"I hope it's you"

Lolololololol. Nailed it!

Took my baby out into the snow after doing this to my snow DD

It looks worse than it is. Oh well at least ill get the rock chips of my bumper

Before you ask I swerved on ice to avoid an elk. Crumple zones are awesome. The airbags didn't even come out. I only hit at about 10 mph.

Worst part is I have to drive the Z around in the snow till the FJ comes out if the shop

Just a scratch. A little rubbing compound will fix it.

10,000 miles in 4 months (100mi/day DD). Today @29,611 miles did a diff fluid change, oil change, and clutch fluid flush and upgrade, dropped in K&N air filters.

Same interval for the trans....just a fyi

Got a call from the dealer today about doing my SWL swap out. He said, "Oh just drop it off here and pick it up either that evening or the next day". I laughed out loud and told him, dude, no way am I leaving my car there for your guys to joyride in! He sounded hurt and said, "that has never happened here before" and I replied "Yeah, and I'm not going to be the first either". Of course he offered to do it during the week, saying "You know, it may take 4 hours or more to do the job" I said what!? it's only two screws and unplugging a wire harness! Well, then maybe only two hours.
Sir, you sound like you know a lot more about the car than ordinary customers, I said well you know I like mechanical things and I am an engineer!
I didn't mention the forum, even though that's where I learned all of this.

Too funny. He was being nice though, but I'm no way going to leave my car there unattended.
While I'm there I might go fishing about how much they charge to update the Navi data.

Now I don't feel so bad! Just hit 20k yesterday in a year and 2 months. Gotta say i love driving it just as much now (maybe even more!) then the day I drove it off the lot!
