I ICEed Guedo, before he installed the mods. Found a bag of stuff he claimed belonged to you. I turned the bag over to DHS. They should be contacting you shortly.
two more tips:
1) do NOT put shaving cream in the trunk.
2) You will learn that Chip Beck is an amazing guy! HOWEVER, if you're following him, he is sometimes 'directionally challenged'.

Hello again, Happy new year!!
I have been researching a few things and your right on the money however this car commands a bit more caution when modding I.M.O.
By that i mean it's not like a Vett in the sence that if you screw up something with one of these you can't just go to your nearest dealer and get another one. The Z seams almost disposable compared to the GT if you know what i mean. Dont get me wrong it's just that the GT is in a class by itself I.M.O. Growing up on a farm here in Nebraska i was able to drive to school at the age of 14 with a farm permit so i bought a 56 chevy at the age of 11 with money from selling a cow i raised. long story short I { with a little guidence} rebuilt my first engine at age 12 so putting a wrench to these cars is almost second nature. :cheers

Getting parts for these cars or modifying them is easy, they are really tough to break at hi power configurations especially when they are set up correct.

:cool...sorry for the delay in replying, just regained consciousness from New Years Eve. Rest up for IV.
I agree with everything that has been stated so far. I will say that the 4 issues that has given us the most work in 2008 are, in order:
1. I want a certain HP and a certain look. Usually leads to spending more $.
2. Be careful who you let drive your car. More times than you think this ends up as giving us more work, ooops (collision repair).
3. Make sure you are in 1st instead of 3rd.
4. Be careful who you let work on the car as we have had to "clean up" others work.
-Also if the wipers don't function properly make sure the front trunk is closed.
-Don't let your battery go dead and leave your keys in it. This results in trip to the dealer and you better hope that the manual override in the door works properly. This way you can open the door without any battery power.
