Still need time to get use to this bb, but so far the Torch aint half bad. I still prefer droid but this is for work so oh well.
The multimedia is much improved vs the Bold I use to have so that's kinda cool.
I still can't get use to typing on the touchpanel...I'm too much a crackberry addict. Lol

Motored the Z this am and did the oil change we well.
Took a while to figure out the obc to reset the maintenance reminder.
Its got features where the user can set intervals.
Other then that smooth sailing. the dynamat reduced road noise significantly.
Can't wait to do the door when I do components.

Added new spacers on the Z and looks very good. The ride height is perfect even in stock form (no 4x4 look at all).
Hope to motor it again this weekend. . Otherwise motored my FitS to my hair stylist place and spirtedly drove home afterwards. FitS sure likes to turn.

Motored my Z this am was a great drive... I punctured my rear tire about 1/2 way into my drive. I didn't have to get out of the car, I could tell from the noise when it punctured. since I pressured up to 38psi last night, kept an eye on the TPMS and drove home. Got home psi was 29 so no TPMS, did not have to use a donut.
Was from cutice scissors. Yanked it out, placed wheel into my FitS and now at tire store.
Was just talking about selling my Fit next year but man, this car has saved me too many times. . Hahaha
Not sure if tire's repairable yet. Its $300 for one on the Z. I should get another set of wheels and tires as backup. I just need one front one rear. cause these are ASymetrical tires on the Z.

my back is kinda sore today from all the lifting and putting the bunk bed together with the wife (sooo many frikken screws glad i had my 18v milwaukee), moving a lot of funiture around from the 2nd floor to basement and back. lol
done with the kid's room and was glad they were SUPER excited to get to sleep in their new bed. going to work on the Laputa next (loft). FitS will be used heavily the next few weeks.

pending sale...
anyway, took the FitS to run some errands during lunch. perfect day... nice and cool. almost felt like just aiming my car home and flooring it. hahaha.
had to get some enamel paint to fix my Z's scuff marks the tire store put in during their botched mounting after tire patching.

Ended up these hypersilver colors are very hard to match. I used my foil tape (aluminum), pressed brake dust to make it less shiny and a tad yellow hue. Its on the side of the spokes so can't tell I fixed it.
Going to save up for some RG-R's (BBS).

so per my buddy's recommendation from the Z forum, i tried some other touchup paint from duplicolor and the hue is a tad closer than wat i had for my wheel. still need to dab a few more times on the other areas and will polish to a nice shine in about 2wks. i let touchup dry about 2wks.
in other news, gotz the old drag wheels all packed up in my FitS, will hop on over to ikea again after work to buy more funiture. should be fun. since im going there solo, plenty of room inside to carry goods home.

couldnt get to ikea last night, will need to see if i can head out later today... my kid was suppose to have this track event this am and was suppose to be cancelled due to rain (so i was like cool, i can go out during the day) but the school's saying it's going to be held starting lunch time...
so now my whole frikken day is taken away. lol crap. maybe late pm i can head out there. was hoping to get the furnishing for our loft done so i can get the dvd player and everything setup for the kids.
