Message	well if everything goes as planned i'll fly into california on saturday and drive my new Z back home. the trip from the bay area to kansas city is long but i've actually done it before but in a honda accord! but this time i gotta be back sometime sunday night so i gotta do 650miles a day obviously i want to protect the car as much as possible on the way back especially the front end. i've heard from a couple of the guys not to buy a bra just use some painters tape? what the hell is painter's tape, how much to buy, and how to use it on my car? more importantly will it come off the paint/body cleanly without any residue left behind? any other things i should consider for this long journey back home that will keep my car from any sort of damage? thanks, sadiq will post pics as soon as i get home and give the car a nice wash:) well i take that back, first i'll come home a crash for about 14hours or so!
