I got to meet some of the guys from the Middle Tennessee Z Club and we went for a cruise through Kentucky this weekend. :tup:
(Hopefully pictures will follow shortly)

Drove from DC to Keyser WV and back for a baby dedication. I like 50 between New Creek WV and Winchester VA. Nice road.

I've found that the name Griot's implies quality. They sell good stuff.

My local Lowes has buckets for $2 I think; however, I haven't bucket washed my car lately. Power washer + foam cannon + grout sponges (which are disposable)

LOL. I love the idea of recycling these things.

:tup: Griots makes great stuff but too much money for a bucket, 5 bucks and I have 5 5-gallon drums.

Time to get some whiteline diff bushings or spl's. Found that it's a common issue among other common issues with the Z. Had mine replaced about a month ago.

Looks like a bushing. Diff won't do that unless your filler plug fell out, which is unlikely

well, theres a breather hose to the diff. once you overheat oil starts to throw up out of that breather hose

I finally got around to trying out the Griot's Garage Waterless wash I picked up over the weekend last night. Of course I woke up to pouring rain so all of that was for nothing but I went to bed feeling good about myself. :icon14:

I think I'll give it another go tonight as the forecast calls for nice weather over the next week.
