Must have been "Wash Your Z Day."

My wife helped me wash mine, but I'd bet vast sums that onzedge's assistant did a better job with less complaining and took supervision far better ;)

I didn't want it to stand out but certainly looks much more finished this way

Looks fantastic! Now if only it said "Topgunz" or something instead so you didn't have to rep Stillen after gutting their kit =)

Going to the drag strip on Friday against my friend in his 2010 SS Camaro. Lowering tire PSI while hot, going to play with launch control to figure out the best RPM to set off at, and for ***** and giggles I'm going to run 105 octane. Anyone have any advice on what else to do?

Remove anything that is reasonably removable to save weight (floormats, spare tire, skip breakfast?). The land speed racers put painters tape on all the panels gaps to reduce drag.

Did the same on Saturday...actually clayed the car first and then applied nice coat of paste wax!!! Damn, it's now smoother than a babies behind.

It won't be the same by the time we roll into Fontana on Wednesday, but at least it looks good today :happydance:

mishuko 05-15-2017 03:18 PM

Washed car Sunday but was hard with high winds. Just cleaned it up a bit. Still need to do a good thorough wash.

Got a call from my insurance broker. Rates went down a ton! Woot

killrain 05-15-2017 04:44 PM

Washed--->clayed--->waxed(2coats). Still need to vacuum and do the windows.

Spare tire is a good idea. Also probably run with AC off.

Pretty.

cooltoy 05-16-2017 06:07 PM

Got the car out of the garage yesterday. First start was kind off rough, but she came alive. Changed the oil and filter, and let her rip. Had the window open so I could hear the beautiful Fast Intentions melody. :driving: :bowdown::rock::drool::drool:

literally small. Makes me good at my job. I worm my way around the interior of cars all day.

My **** tends to get snagged and kinked a lot though

Dad's suv is in the shop for running rear tires down to the wire...

He asked if he could take the Z and then asked how to shift it into reverse. He's now driving my beater Focus for the remainder of the days his car is in the shop.

Atkins. And exercise off course.

Do it hardcore for three month or so. You will loose around 20-25 lbs during that period. Then ease up until you reach your desired weight. After that you stick with most of it and have occasional days where you eat things you used to like (pizza, sweets, pasta, etc.). On vacation I just came back from, we went to three buffets in two weeks (did not go crazy on carbs, but had a lot of cakes and pastries), but despite that and due to increased metabolism and lots of walking, still managed to loose a couple of pounds.

Where did you go for vacation? DR, Mexico, Cuba? I am in need of some RR and some tropical delights :yum:

Yep.. I've lost about 40lbs on Keto (High fat, low carb) and have been living the low carb life for a couple of years now. Very effective!

Tore down the highway with a busty Asian beauty riding shotgun. Hardly a novelty though.
