He told me if I needed someone to blow the carbon out of my Z, that he was available. I sure hope if I get stopped for speeding that he's the guy behind the blue lights

On the way home I filled up at my local Shell station for $2.89/gallon. Life is good!

you should of said 'let me take you for a spin' and let the wife sit in the back of the cop car while you and him did some 'spirited' driving

Well, the guy _was_ on duty, so if something had gone sideways, it would have been far more than embarrassing. And he told me a couple of times that my name sounded familiar and asked if he had given me a ticket before. He didn't really looked like he believed me when I assured him that he hadn't

But the mental image of my wife cooling her heels in the back of a cop car for a while does make me chuckle!

A guy with an SL500, who just moved in, said my exhaust sounded really good.

Back from body shop yesterday. Wash and wax today (thank god for the mercurial Ohio weather) then under cover until March 2015. Ugh. But really really happy Harry is home.

Serviced the Z today. I am at 29,400 miles and went ahead and did most of the 30,000 mile service. Changed the oil, tranny fluid, and Diff fluid. Brake fluid and Clutch fluid looked like new. I just have the coolant flush to do. I need to pick that up. Tranny fluid was good, it just had some metal flakes in it from the syncro's, normal on the first change. The Diff fluid looked like crap and had a good amount of metal sludge on the magnet. More than I like to see. Hopefully the diff won't look that bad at 60,000 miles when it get's changed again.
