but i will be trying to get there as early as possible.

Awesome. Glad we both are getting there early. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Tesla. I know a guy from the VW forums actually was required to drive one for a weekend for work. He said it was a fun car to drive and definitely had some get up (can't remember if it was the sport model though)

Yeah FP, keep us posted how the Tesla response compares to an electric golf cart!

Of course I missed when you arrived and left. Great meeting you and you dad.

Your Z looks great.

Did you install your exhaust yourself??

FPenvy (trying to avoid your real name since some people are very particular about that), you said you and your dad have a car paint setup?? Thinking about possibly getting my gf's car painted as a surprise for her bday. You guys think you could do something like that??

Hmm I was hoping that I could meet up with you after my exhaust comes in (comes in Monday yesssssss). Figured it would be easier with 2 people.

Damn I knew you said something about paint and bodywork. Clearly I missed the most important part of that sentence

Any recommendations on shops to do a full body custom paint job?? Vinyl wrapping was much more expensive than I had initially planned on but I'm starting to think that I may do it myself because that seems to be the cheapest of all options haha

sorry i've been absent from here all weekend and slightly last week. training a new employee at work so my play time on here was limited and the weekend my gf was in town so no forum time.

but cat back part of the exhaust is pretty simple to do. removing the cats is a bitch. good ole demon bolts lol

i never really looked into paint shops locally for custom work. i know my friend out by carlisle PA just vinyl wrapped his whole car on his own and it looks good. so thats def possible. then again he also built his own single turbo kit so he's pretty crafty lol

the test ride also sold my pops on wanting to get my mom the tesla suv next year when it releases lol

That's the only way to do a test ride. Yeah the one guy I know that had to drive one for a weekend for work said that it was a blast to drive which was unexpected.

Maybe I'll win the 24 hour Tesla experience and whip that bish around

Ha it's cool. Trust me, I don't forum much (if any on the weekend either way). I have some jack stands but wanted to make sure that those would be enough (with a safety jack in place since I'll be doing it alone) would be enough. I also don't actually own a torque wrench so I wanted to make sure that I would be able to do it all without one of those as well.

I was actually thinking about doing the vinyl wrap myself for her. Maybe give her the present now since doing it in December would suck to do

FP. How was the Tesla ride? Also what's the deal with this plasti dip bodywork? I saw a GTR a few weeks ago and I'm indecisive about it. Looks like a stone chip would peel the paint/skin of it?
