Afternoon everyone :hello: Wife called me at 3:30 am from her bachelorette party saying she had no where to sleep and asking for me to come get her :ugh2: Of course, I did, as the dutiful husband, but man was I tired this morning :yawn: Daylight savings didn't help either...

Happy, engine bay looks real nice sir :tup:

Ken, fine job on the HU and CF wrap :tup:

Everyone anxious to pull out their Z for the Spring, hope it comes sooner than you expect :tup:

thanks mr.jar. :tup:

finished the install this am and ran a full series of tests. everything works great. :p also adjusted the Z's clock while i was at it. :p the HU sounds goood and looks great too.

yah, i packed up the car cover for the Z until Fall so im super :excited: as well to pull her out. maybe even this coming weekend. :tup:

also cleaned up all my detailing gear, shelves, mobile carts, everything. :D

Headed out to the Austin "zoo" shortly to practice my cell phone photography skills and stretch the Z's legs.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown!

Thanks for the complement! :tiphat:

Taking a little lunch with the wifey at a local favorite of ours. :)

Sunny here and roads are dry....REALLY anxious to break the Z out. What do you think? No rain until tuesday and 64f......:confused: :ugh2: :ughdance:

Just back from Long Beach -- we gave my Dad a respectful send-off. May he have smooth seas and God's speed.

:tup: ms. bc- your car can handle salt, i just dont like it on my car as it stains the metals even if it's all dry. :)

sounds goood. :tup: im going to grab me some diet pepsi. :icon17:

Dead on Mr. Happy! :tup:

WARNING - Personal opinion about to be expressed. No offense intended.

I owned a G37S coupe before my Z and it's hard to believe they are the same car. Apologies to all G37 owners; this just my opinion - it's a Japanese Monte Carlo.

Nissan did a horrible job with the styling proportions, especially the rear quarter of the car. The G35 coupe is one of Nissan's most beautiful cars. The G37 one of it's dorkiest.

To me, the Z is so much more of an honest car - much more primitive. It's louder, has less sound deadening, no sunroof, etc. It's a sports car.

It will be interesting to see what the Q60 really looks like. The different sketches floating around show a much more aggressive car than the G37S. Let's see what the final car ends-up like.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Donald. Having gone through this 18 years ago, I know it's a tough weekend.

You are blessed with a great family, a beautiful grand child, and an insane collection of knuckleheads from the forum who would do anything they can for you (and each other hopefully).

Take care, the days will get better. :tiphat:

I have to agree on the styling. The G35 was once in a lifetime sweeeeeeettt styling queues. Incredible body lines, especially in the rear quarters. The G37 is a MILF at a teen prom. The "restyle" ruined what was a real classic.

That G35 will be a classic calendar car. The G37...... not sure.

For me I find coupes useless. If the car has 2 door in needs two seats if I wanted a back seat I would buy a 4 door vehicle for those uses :ugh2: I always find any 2+2 to long, there's no need for the back IMO

:tiphat: Thanks. BTW -- I pride myself on being one of the knuckleheads here.

mr.gurney- nissan is trying too hard with the Q60's design, i think. if they could simplify the lines to near my G35C (just make it a tad more modern looking), with the G37S's interior, and 350hp for around $45K, im game.

from the looks of it so far, i dont think im going to like the Q60 either... :ugh2:

couples that are huge like the benz ones, they just look too stupid, imho too.

sedans are useless other than for carrying passengers and some luggage = BORING!!! :yawn: it's like a jack of all trades, not good at any one thing.

this is why i only have couples or hatches. none of the half-arsed in-betweens.

Nicely stated! :)

Yesterday was a day to celebrate Mr. Onzedge Sr.'s arrival into heaven. :tup:

:iagree:

That really looks sexay Ken-San! :tup:

:iagree:

thanks guys :tup:

Nice shots Ms BC :tup:

:iagree: :tup:

:tup:thanks you guys!!! Yous ain't "knuckleheads"!!! Yous my wikipedias!!!! :tup:

Seriously! Thanks for the G crash course :tup:

Looking good BC! Will be editing the photos from the zoo. Not many opportunities were present though with just a cell phone. We stopped at a historical cemetery in our neighborhood on the way back. Got some decent shots I think. Most people buried there lived during the mid to late 1800s.

:iagree: definitely jelly I am still at least 5-6 weeks out from driving mine :ughdance:

:tup: thanks guys! I didn't forget how to work the clutch and she was turning heads fo sho! :woot: i love this car!

:tup: :happydance:

:icon14: mr. Kenchan said the salt will discolor the metal even if dry so i was aware of yuk on the road. It was just the perfect day...i had time, weather and temp were pretty, the mini was amenable AND i have a new camera!

Whaaaaaaa?!
