I agree with 2ManyZs and Gee, the pictures cover only what you can see anyway, and fresh paint can cover problems for a while. Give the car a good once over where you have to get uncomfortable to see-check the floors from below-and under the carpet, check the spare tub, and the rails under the battery and outside just back from the wheels. Pull the doglegs, hatch trim, and the door panels and check inside for propper repair. The car is pretty, but will it stay that way if taken care of. or start rusting away? If you don't look for propper repair now, you will see how it was done in a year or so! Will

I have tried putting them in the plastic basket, and suspending them with Fishing line and leader wire, and fine tunig the location. I have just done some research, and it looks like a L&R AG150R or and AG200 with heat would be the right machines for what I want to clean-parts and household things. What do you think? Will

Mike, Thanks for the info, this one cleans jewelry-my wifes rings pretty well-at least she is happy with what it does-looks like the second tool that transitions from the workshop to the bedroom! No comment on the first! I will get a better unit, and contact The mfrs for suggestions. Will

I am afraid to touch that-literally! Carl sometimes you are too much-I now know how hard it is to type and laugh at the same time! I am definitely not gioing to ask how you found that one! I though Froglevel in waynesville was different, I stand-er-sit corrected! Will

I have used everything from hot distilled water with a few drops of fabric softener, to almost any consistancy of hot MarineClean, to the products sold by L&R and Branson. I believe this unit-also the most popular sold on ebay, is just not of enough quality to get the job done. I am not opposed to spending some money on something that will work. Will

As MikeW said. post to your gallery, but expect a wait on getting the pictures approved, lots of member submissions, and the administrators have to go through each photo! Will

Has anyone got any experience cleaning the nuts. bolts, and screws from a Z in an ultrasonic cleaner. I have tried using a cheepie unit from Harbor Freight, and even though the unit will shred a piece of aluminum foil(a common test of an ultrasonic cleaner) the chewing is highly localized, and not uniform enough for thorough cleaning of small parts. If you have gotten satisfactory results, pass them along! Thanks, Will

Carl, I don't want to know about your history in Rooster Poot, but didn't they ban you from ever comming back? Will

You know me, I have to stir the toilet before I flushit. I emailed them this: "Dear motoexotica*com, Hi, and thanks for your auction! I am a bit confused, in one place you have a $195 Acquisition fee that is to cover, among other things, Title transfer and registration fees, but in another place you say that tax and licensing fees must be taken care of by the buyer-I don't understand why you are evidently asking me to pay you for something I have to do after I buy the car. If I am misreading this, please explain. Thanks in advance, William Stokes" We will see if I get a reply-probably not! Whaagooshgchaaaaaaaa (will somebody please jiggle the handle...) Will

I missed this the first time through "Any Missouri buyer must pay local MO sales tax and licensing fees. All other will do so in their home state" isn't that saying that they aren't covering the: "title transfer and registration fees" that are supposed to be a part of the $195? Will

Now that's the deffinition of a wino! Will

Carl, I think this is what that part of their ad should say: We are sorry to make your stupidty so evident, by making you pay almost $200 more than you think the car is worth. Please remember this fee is above the final and winning bid price, and we have made every effort to hide and distort our business practices to advertise how stupid we think buyers are by terming this profit to be an acquision fee. I bought a New Dodge Quadcab last year, I didn't pay any of the fees they threw at me. I told them the dollar value I agreed to pay was what I was going to pay, their fees were theirs, not mine, and if they wanted the truck to leave the lot, and the GM dealer questionaires to be filled out in a posative way, they would have to meet the agreed price inclusive of any other add ons. I did let them think I was going to finance through them, but I brought them a certified check, and then had a hard time trading it for the truck! I had to get the owner of the dealership involved-He swallowed hard, and said give the man his keys! Will

Welcome to the clib, and to Zs! I am sure I am not he only member anxiously awaiting your pictures! Will

86) You keep trying to sell a modified factory restored Z on ebay at the same price! ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2479139282&category=6187 I think this guy must meet all of the other 85 criteria listed here as well) Will

Some people do not listen to what their customers are telling them. Here is a perfect example! Now the seller has to pay Ebay for each listing-I guess he likes payinng ebay and hates selling cars! Will

How about this: "Acquisition Fee: Due to ever increasing costs, we have now found it necessary to impose a $195.00 acquisition fee to each car sold in the United States. This includes title transfer and registration fees, inventory tax, holding costs, vehicle preparation, storage and overnight documentation delivery" It all amounts to we want to make charging you an additional $195 sound like we are doing you a favor. I guess PT Barnum was right! Will

Well, the engine is out:classic: , most of the hardlines are loose, and I did say that was my "Posh" answer-and of course I was pickin' at you. We do have the gambut in the active membership, from Rocket Scientists, to Highschool students-rather diverse group educationally. I agree it is difficult to get a large base of active(vocal) members. It is also difficult to get a consensus between two pre-defined choices of hats! That is part of what makes diversity so efficient-as long as there is acceptance whithout platitude. I did pick up on the ambiguities between what you did and didn't specifically claim to be part of the results vs the assumptions of others-Rather interesting synergy there! I just wanted you to do what you wanted everyone else to do-think! I THINK we all did! I am quite certian your "sauce" is in the container at the end of your arm! (Do I note a pavlovian response to the word "sauce"?) I am not so certian of the containers' contents, Ripple or Dom!! I figure you start with the good stuff for flavor, and end with the cheep stuff for effect! I think we may need a new addition to our collection of "Smiles". Maybe one for in the process of Mass consumption, one for pleasantly drunk, one for completely suaced, and one for tungue in cheek! I do appreciate a good clean synaptic firing occasionally, Will

Here we go again! Refine that test! Another question to ask: Whi is actually doing for a living what they were educated to do? Keep up the "outstretched Pinkie" collecting- it is rather interesting! Will

Whoa there young man! Slow down, use smaller words, and get off the sauce before getting on your keyboard (What is this "Resident Wino"about)! Here is my "POSH" responseROFL ! The inference of your post is not supported by the margin of error of your test design and in a sample size of 123. I am afraid that while the reverse bell curve may indicate a strong parallel to some previously observed indication, the "deep reverberations in socio-economic structure" may be more an indication of error in the test design than actual reflection of the sample. the only criteria collected in the test is current distance from what the subjects considered to be 'Home", and that criteria was subjectively interpreted by you(see your post of 5/7/04 @1:46am) My test response is not subjective-I consider College Station to be my "growing up spot". Where I live now has nothing to do with my income-or social status. The only Socio-Economic criteria available to you is what is in the profiles of the respondants, and their responses. That does nor necessarily reflect accurate economic data, and consequently, introduces error. You can't be sure if I own a 500K house or a 75K House-or of the bank really owns either one, or both. This test does not collect enough variables to be conclusive in anything but the collected information,: How far we live from where we consider to be where we grew up Will PS. Now, I have an engine to pull, not because I can't afford to have some one else do it for me, but because I want to!:stupid: BTW, I think scones are much better with a little used motoroil from my outstretched pinkie, after changing out an engine!

70) The Social Security check you live on comes to your mother who is also your Aunt, and your older sister. 71) You wonder why your Mom can't cook like Granny from the Beverly Hillbilleis. 72) You think that color only exists where you are, cause everbody and everything on that new-fangled 12" tv at the neighbors house is gray. 73) You have ever tried to "hunt up" your family tree for firewood, 74) You accidently shot out the drivers side window of your pick-up when you were putting the shotgun in the gunrack, and it was a good thing "'cause summers commin' and the window ain't worked in years"... 75) Your whole family has been named after the charactors from "Petticote Junction," and The Beverly Hillbillies alternating since before the Civil War, and that was the last time somebody new moved in. 76) You think "inside plumbing" is the polite way of clever way of talking about a girl. Outside plumbing is a guy, and a house with out and outhouse is just stupid. 77) You are planning on taking a trip to meet Beavis and Butthead in person, right after you visit Graceland, and Wallyworld. 78) you can't figure out the pattern of the numbers at the head of the lines in this list. 79) You can't understand why Jethro Bodine didn't win his run for President. 80) You realize the genius of Mr. Bodines Ciphering as "New Math". 81) You have every bottlecap you have ever laid eyes on. 82) You think hanging hood scoops, wider tires and chrome plate on a car makes it faster-ooops wrong forum-well maybe... 83) You think all secret agents live a high-profile life. 84) You know that the Phrase "it take one to know one" does not apply to anyone reading or actively participating in this forum! Will

24) You unload a truck by nailing reverse and then stomping the brakes-only to remember the tailgate is up. So you do it again, only faster. 25) The only "Z" you know about is a rusty 4 cyl camero on blocks in your neighbors backyard. 26) You are proud to live in the worlds largest trailer park-The Robert-Trent-Jones Trailer Trail-AKA Alabama! 27) You can't name three Presidents of the United Stated, but do know every hold, Wrestler, and Title of the WWF-or what ever it is now! 28) Your hero is a "professional" wrestler. 29) You respected Billy more than Jimmy, 'cause he had with his own beer! 30) Ray Stevens and Jerry Clower are your parole officers!
