Problems are part of life - so are the good times also, so enjoy it!!!

So, on Saturday I went to the dock to check out some boats and thought a few pics will bring a smile. BTW, the dock is about 45mins from my home and the real reason I went there is because there's a good 3 mile stretch of what looks like the Daytona 500 Straightaway built into this pathway. The best thing is that since it's so remote, cops never get there. Guess what I did?????? Or should I ask: How fast can my 1996 Z32TT go??? Wow, 130 was as far as I could go, but that was fun!!! Anyway, when I got to the dock, I had an expensive problem to deal with - on a different kind of vessel, however!!! So, I figure out, why worry about materal things??? Take some pics for memory sake, share with your friends and live life for goodness sake!!!!!!!

For those of you who boat, you'd recognize my problem below!!! Luckily for me, it's mostly warrantied.

But, why worry on such a nice day? Problems come and go but we still have to enjoy life, what the heck. Besides, the Z was driving well and looked good. So, I pretended to know photography and here are my pitiful results!!!!

">I didn't even see the darn dog there when I took that pic. The Z looks good in the pack.

Z's are pretty reliable vehicles. But if anyone thinks they have issues with their Zs, talk to any boat owner and you'll really understand the definition of unreliable fun under the sun. I can't wait for the season to get back on the bay!!!!!!!!

Cracked exhaust manifolds. These manifolds are dual chambered, one chamber carrying very hot exhaust gases and the other cooling fluids. Thus if there's a crack there's a chance cooling and exhaust can get mixed up and both can sip onto the pistons - very very bad and very very expensive. Luckily for me, of the three that cracked, none leaked cooling fluid onto the pistons.
