I am heartbroken.

2 hours into my trip to Houston yesterday...this.



Everyone is OK and no other cars were involved. I lost control of the car cruising at 80mph on the interstate, it was raining.

I am an idiot about two things. 1) I didn't know the dangers of using cruise on wet roads. I know now. 2) I check my tires periodically, but right in the center my rears are worn pretty well and I probably should have gotten new tires. There was still tread but not a ton, I didn't notice. Make sure you get your head all the way down there to check.

So, what now? I am still flying to Houston to see family. My brother-in-law wants to go car shopping tomorrow... I am willing to take a look. If they total the car (not sure this will happen, but that rear wheel is not sitting straight any more) I will be elated. If they fix it, I will sell it ASAP either way. I am planning on getting another Z regardless, love the car and couldn't bear to go get a BRZ or something instead.

So, gonna check out a couple Z's tomorrow in houston and if I happen to find a match, then game on with the turbo kit. If not... it will have to wait a year. =( I am so very disappointed in what happened, but feel so lucky things didn't go worse. I have been dreaming of what this week was supposed to be since 2008 when I got a 350z.

I'll keep you guys up to date with what happens. Pour one out for my Pearl White.
