On another note, I'm done with taking the Z to the dealer unless its a warranty issue. The last oil change I had them do (second one ever on the Z), the guy who worked on my car couldn't have been more than 18 and immediately exclaimed "Oh, cool, I've never worked on one of these before. Is this one of the new 350s?" He also didn't put on the magnetic drain plug I provided, and then lied about it to me when I asked.
Thanks for the info! My uncle quoted me $80 so I think I'll just go that route (no worries, he is a mechanic). I'm itching to get it on today though.

As far as oil changes: that's the reason I've decided to just try to do them myself. Can't trust anyone but yourself.

I paid $70 from a shop that my old roommate is friends with so that's not bad, but he should give you a better family discount lol.

What system did you go with?

NICE!!! I have the EXACT same setup but NONres. You'll love it!

Yeah I'm in Hutto already...blah. I work at Camp Mabry on 35th & MOPAC tho so we probably would only see each other on opposite sides of the highway in passing lol. You just work in Hutto right? Been driving the Z too, so I'm surprised I haven't been seen yet.

Yup, I'm out in Hutto from 9-5:30. Unless you frequent the toll road, we probably won't run into each other.

Nope, I'm headed north at 4:45 so I'm already in Huttoland when you are getting off. Might see you leaving though if you take 79 to get back to aTx...
