Default Just got back from ZPI..........

I dont post much in this forum but today i was on a business trip in Louisville and i finished up my work early. I was about to head back to the airport but figured id throw in ZPIs address into the GPS and see how far away they are. welp, 4.5 miles away! So i went over there and im a shy guy so it took some courage to go there (why i dont know) but i first met Mark (Owner/Investor/Dad to Kiesha) and he was very wlecoming! super nice guy!! Then I met Brian, Kennys brother and he was very nice! They showed me around the shop and i hung out for about 2 hours. Other than the fact i did nothing i felt like i have been working with them for years. They gave me a free shirt for stopping by and while i was there i had to buy something..........no it wasnt a turbo, but i got the lightweight pully. They actually didnt have any instock until tomorrow so since Kenny was out at sema, they took off his pulley on his car and sold it to me (only 5 miles on it). Awesome cust service!! (Sorry Kenny, hopefully they get the new one put on soon)

They didnt have any of the cars up and running when i was there so i couldnt feel what a turboed tc felt like but i got to see 12 turbo kits being shipped out to you alls!!! i got to see them before you!! ( Brian told me to say that, haha J/K)

Well, ill def be going back to get a turbo put on in the spring, and let me tell you, they have alot of stuff in the works for the tc!!! unfortunately i cannot say, but if you stop by im sure theyll splurge!

Keisha, you are very very nice. I felt like i have known you for awhile. It was good talking to you and i didnt miss my flights (whew). That 350Z is sweet BTW!

Anyways, im sorry for rambling but i have to spread the word of how "cool" these people are. I wasnt planning on getting a turbo before but now that i have alot of good knowledge, i will def be boosted soon (if i can convince the wife).

Unfortunately i didnt get to meet Kenny, but there is always a next time.

If any of you are ever in the area, you should stop by. They are just a few mins from the airport.

That's cool. ZPI has been nothing but first class with me.

I hear Kiesha has to wear sun glasses all the time...is that true?

I asked why and Kenny said she is so cool the sun shines on her 24 hours a day

j/k

Lol....Yeah, they are great. I talk to Keisha pretty much on a daily basis. I only live a couple hrs away, so I need to roll back up there and hang around a bit.

Kenny is the head of the shop but Keisha is the neck... and the neck always turns the head.

That's 100% right and my wife never lets me forget that.

My wife of 22 years always tells me behind every good man is a great woman. Behind every great woman is dozens of average men just waiting for the good man to screw up.
