Nice pic

Today was a z day. Loaded up the car with exhaust goodies and headed down to the shop,put her on blocks and changed it out. Also met up with another forum member and helped wit install of his swift springs and camber arms.

Merv needs to make a correction in his prior post. He installed my Swifts and camber arms, then did his exhaust. Sounds sweet.
Dammit. Now I need to spend more mod $$$.

Did an oil change, clutch fluid exchange, and install my FI CBE non-resonated exhaust today. Rainy, sloppy, miserably cold day. Good day to be in the garage.

Lol,you were in there like a dirty shirt bro!

I looked at it hibernating in the garage. Can't wait to get it out again. I'll have to wait a bit longer, as today was filled with freezing rain.

Harry is still under cover.

Received insurance card in the mail yesterday.

Spring is less than 3 weeks away.

Took my Z in for its 2nd oil change. Yeah, I know I could do it, but I just don't want to. And if I had, I would have missed this confidence-inspiring experience at my local dealership:

I tell the service tech I want an oil change as it has been six months since they had done it and specified what oil I wanted. He writes the order ticket and I head to the suckers' lounge. After a couple of minutes he comes and finds me and this conversation takes place:

ST: You've had your oil changed before, haven't you?
Me: Yes. Y'all changed it exactly 6 months ago. You should have a record of it.
ST: What model is it? You were probably thinking every 3750 miles.
Me: It's a '14. But it's been six months.
ST: A '14? You only need to change the oil every 5000 miles.
Me: The manual says it needs to be changed every 6 months or 5000 miles so as not to void the warranty.
ST: [using pencil & paper] But it has only been 2400 miles since your last oil change.
Me: I haven't driven it much, but it has been six months.
ST: We'll change it for you this time, but next time remember that it is every 5000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
Me: You mean like if six months comes before 5000 miles?
ST: Yep. [nods with satisfaction and exits stage right]

I felt like Bud Abbot and wondered if he ever felt like putting a gun barrel in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

I can't wait until my next visit!

Good grief. Seemingly, if you can fog a mirror, you can get a job as a service tech these days.

To be fair, they were quite busy and the guy was frazzled. I think he just overthought an attempt to save me some money. His intentions seemed honorable, which was quite refreshing. I got the service I wanted, so no harm, no foul.

But it was an aggravating --> amusing experience, to say the least.

Had my F.I. CBE delivered yesterday. Lucked out finding a used one for sale and snatched it up. Had to go to Post Office to get it as I missed the delivery. The box wouldn't fit in my Z so I proceeded to empty out its' contents all bubble wrapped up and put the pieces in individually right in the back of the building. I got a few stares to say the least.

Some Chemical Guys metal polish on the tips and canisters and it is shining like new. Will install this along with putting my Sport Rays back on within the next few weeks. Can't wait!
