I just saw you're from Iowa. Where abouts are you from?

Also, keep in mind that the G1W doesn't handle cold temperatures all that well. I had one stop working on me after leaving it outside in my daily driver overnight last winter. Luckily, it comes with a 1 year warranty, so I contacted them via the provided email, and they sent me a new one.

Des Moines area. Good to know about cold weather since we get it!

So am I! You don't see too many other Z's around here. You ever take it to any car shows or Cars and Coffee meets or anything? Also, have you checked out the Nissan-Infiniti Club of Iowa (NICI)?

Lets see some close calls......

Nope, but I do see some Zs around town now and then. Definitely more common than several years ago, but still don't see one but every few weeks.

I'm actually testing the waters this autumn with letting go of the Z.

Sub'd now that I actually have a dash cam. I'll try to save any good ones and post 'em up.

If any of you guys are having trouble in extreme weather, I recommend the capacitor version (G1W-C). It does not have a battery that is subject to failure in extreme hot/cold environments.

Sorry for the potato quality. I almost got taken out by a deer last night. It was late and snowing (I could barely see past my headlights). I have no idea how I avoided hitting it.

Excuse the language, but the whole thing scared the crap out of me!

Jsolo · 12-25-2015, 11:49 PM

That's awesome! Very lucky.

We don't have snow around here yet. I was just on a winding 2 lane road and saw 2 deer on the side of the road. I immediately slowed down to a crawl as I went by them. From my motorcycle days, typically when there's 1 deer, there's a bunch more that you can't see but may run across the roadway any second. Better safe than sorry.

Nice save!

I didn't have my go pro up and running but I wish I had. I wasn't as fortunate yesterday morning. Deer got my *** pretty good.

SMH!@# I swear, some drivers around here really have no business driving.

It's a 3 way stop. Traffic going north (left from the video's perspective) has no stop.

^^Try again.

SwissCheese · 02-13-2016, 03:06 PM

On my way home from work the other day. There are 2 left-turn lanes, and I was on the outside one.

Jsolo · 02-13-2016, 03:27 PM

I've had cars do that to me before. Inside lanes seem to be safer. Years back I got stuck in snow when a car went wide, causing me to either hit them or go wide too (right into a huge pile of plowed snow).
