Had a good time drivin' home in the Black LS last night (Midnight) . It rained so hard, everyone was Hydroplaning on I-35 outside of Olathe, KS. Guy in front of me did a 180 & wiped out, I ditched it onto the shoulder to avoid his Ford Taurus! No damage to the LS & I went back to check on the guy in the Taurus ... he was okay too.

Wow. sure got the old heart beat up ! LOL!

Afternoon all, My wife took the kids school clothes shopping and I decided to stay home.(It doesn't hurt as bad if I just see the totals)
Tadd have fun at Woodward I have wanted to come down there for a while now, maybe someday.
Chris sorry to hear about the dye test, sometimes it seems like banks, city government and loan company's dont want to sell houses and would rather see them empty. Just jump through all there hoops and it will all work out

GOOD AFTERNOON everyone!!! Hope you all have had a great week. I got back late last night from 3 wonderful days at the beach. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Sunny, no clouds and 65 degrees. I am trying to catch up on the blogs I missed. Here are a few pics for you.

P.S. Chris congrats on getting the car and sorry to hear about the dye test.

thanks Todd, those pics are incredible!



couple things with the Z34, sunroof not working, I found what looks to be a motor in the glove box, it may be a good one or the one that was taken out? Sounds like I need a cv joint, hearing some noises when turning also. I can't be to bummed out the car is 12 years old and 139K miles on it.... Here is another pic of it on the carrier.
