Default What a feeling..

Wow, just landed at DFW today from Korea (13 hour flight) and literally BROKE into mom's garage to start the Z.

For those who gave the advice in this thread:

...it's worked perfectly (at least so far). Plugged everything back up, no codes, starting perfectly.

I gotta tell ya, after driving my POS Kia beater in Korea, and then this--wow. God bless America.

Thanks, everyone. It's a great feeling. I'm very fortunate and would ask that you keep all of the servicemembers/contractors who were not able to join their families in your prayers.

I gotta be honest, I'm not much of a fan of Korean food--but I do appreciate the differences. Most of my buddies love it, but it's not for me.

Mark,
....Thanks for your service. I did three fun tours in Korea. Coming home and driving nice cars after the junkers I had in Korea was always a treat.
