Default Can I come out and play?

(That's the car talking, not me).



Went out to the shop today (where the car is stored), and finally got around to firing it up for the first time since November.

Took it for a couple laps around the industrial park, (reminding me traction is non-existent on 40° streets), but that's it. Currently not registered and not insured, but will take care of that spring ritual soon...usually don't plan on driving it until April anyways.

But damn it felt good just to sit in it and hear it roar again.

New cellphone, I wanted to see how it did with pics.

Not the best, but not bad either for what it is. 10x better than what my old phone was capable of.

You use velcro to hold in your bumper screens? Any idea how they're actually held in in a Z06? I just did mine and they sure don't go in the holes where the coupe/vert shrouds go. It looks like you have to drill 2 holes in the bottom part of the 2 bumper openings and use screws.

They are OEM screens velcro'd in, yes.

No experience in how they fasten stock in the Z.
