That'd be awesome. When do you get out of school? I have to go live in D.C. for the summer starting May 21st for some internship but I'll be back towards the end. So either before or after works for me I know a few other kids around town that have Z's as well, I'll have to try to round 'em up.

ugh yeah finals. I guess we'll see what happens as time gets closer. It would be awesome to have someone to caravan with for at least part of the country cause I'll be driving the Z out that way. I'm hoping to get to the east coast by at least the 20th so I can sleep before having to start the first day of work on the 21st though so it may or may not work haha.

Well, I'll have my finals Sched by next week, so I'll post my last class, give myself a day to move from dorms into my apt. then jet over to CO (hopefully in time to catch the COSPR "group" and then jet off with ya towards the DC direction (maybe I can road trip it all the way there if i have enough $$) and say farewell see ya next year. If that don't work, you could drop my MN on the way (it's SORTA on the way...). I'll supply the walkie talkies.

**EDIT by "group" I meant the few guys you know with Z's, no offense to any actual Colorado Springs Z-clubs out there.**

I think it would look good. you might just have to use some tape on your car so you can see it for real...
I tried to photochop stripes onto my volvo before I painted it and it looked horrible in that...

not that they look amazing now but I like them much more in real life

Hey I would like to be able to photochop my '82 with an F-40 wing on it. I pretty much know what colors the car will be. Silver, with a black hood and hatch. But I can't decide on having the spoiler black or silver. What do you guys think? I also need to get a better pic of the car, for somebody to photochop it. Unless you think the pic on the left in my sig would work. If so I can put it here in the post. Ah screw it, here is a big pic of it to mess with. If anybody is up to the challenge. he he And keep in mind, I want the rear wiper still on it. I just didn't have one, when I got the car. I am putting it on soon. It shouldn't really matter anyway, it wont affect the wing any.

Anywhere from $399 to $3999

or if you go to Walmart you can buy the 99cent cans, some tape, and paper and get it done for $50
