The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

kenchan

you sound like my mom ms. pint. she is like 4ft 11 and told us that the economy seats in airplanes were too small, so she would only sit business or first class.

the Z's interior is ample big for a sports car, imo.

the fiat is a useless car. abarth is kinda cool, but still only as fast as my fit 5MT.

kenchan

yah, i too dont' QD my dd's. only wash once a week at best.

we don't have the heat like you guys do down there. only like a few weeks out of the summer we get like 90F+ high humidity.

kenchan

but kenchan you are missing the point with the fiat.

Pintsize725

Heck, that's totally me when I get older! Only the good stuff for us short people.

My statement still stands: Why run when you have a car?

I'm just lazy!

Nah, that's good though. Running = awesome, unless you're like me and push too hard to where you feel like your chest is going to cave in.

JARblue

Yup. I know exactly what you mean. I don't worry about it when I work through lunch, cause I can usually stand to skip a meal or two. When I am eating bad and/or too much, too often, I recognize it and cut back. We used to buy and drink tons of sodas. We stopped for 2 weeks, and its been a few years since we actually bought sodas to stock our fridge. I don't drink them except with fast food or occasionally if they're provided for free somewhere. I lost 10 lbs the first week, although my wife was pissed cause she didn't lose but 3 lbs at the very end of the 2 weeks

That's pretty much all I drink is soda.

I think it's key to fast metabolism's... caffeine raises the heart rate, therefore more calories burning.

Duh, totally accurate and scientific right there. Just call me Dr. Haboob.

my neighbor down the street has the 500. he's not particulary small, but he seems to fit okay.

i was about the abarth, even thinking about getting one after i retire my G, but now, im not sure. the :excitement: kinda wore off.

so i bought my wife a treadmill for mom's day. nono, i wasn't telling her she was fat or anything LOL she wanted one so i got one for her. im going to borrow that and run a couple of miles a week.

unfortunately the allergies has worsend in the last few days... i start coughing and sometimes sneezing the moment i step outside. even in the garage i sound like im choking to death. so im going to pass on the bike for now.

JARblue

the only things I wish for would be more steering wheels adjustments and higher seat bolsters to keep me planted better and of course, one of those I can take care of after I do all of my higher priority mods and have some extra money in a few years lol

wat kind of soda do you drink, cause you can still become diabetic with too much sugar intake even if you appear you are in shape.

i only drink diet pepsi. no more hagdaz, no more icecream, no more m&m peanuts. i now dont even eat a whole charburger (i cut it in half and give it to my kids), my cheeze fries... i only eat like 10pcs. middle age sucks...

Haboob

I only drink Dr. Pepper.

However, that's about all the sugar I have really. I'm not big on sweets, in fact I rarely eat candy, cake, pie, etc.

kenchan

yah, the seat could use a tad more side bolsters for me too. but i only street the car and most of my streets are straight, i like the look of the base cloth seats, so im going to leave it alone for now.

i was thinking about getting some aftermarket seats since i had that popping/sliding driver seat (TSB), but i fixed that with my socket and mallet so it's been good.

JARblue

lol I was just like that at your age. I drank excessive sodas (typically 3+ but as many as 5+ as day sometimes ) and did not gain weight.

that is one warped view of the metabolism right there

Did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too? -Dr. Nick from The Simpsons

Yeah, I like the cloth seats, and considering price and that I DD and don't track, I'm not looking at seats any time soon. I hope to someday relegate the Z to fun car and get a different DD, so it would make sense to wait until then for mods like seats and suspension.

i asked my wife and she said 'yah, you do look kinda plump.'

im like why didn't you tell me?! immediately gave all the 2lbs bags of m&m's i had to the taffyapples at work, gave away all the colacola to my neighbors, and told wife not to buy icecream until im ready again...
