^^Tentatively in...post this on chicagoz too.

with all this rain and no salt.

I may take the whip out on friday.

Count me in. It is etched in my calendar.

I think they laid down some salt this morning :( boo

Awww.. I drive mine daily, rain, shine, snow, sleet, salt. Have winter tires, will drive :)

Nothing wrong with that. For me it's. matter of personal preference,don't want weather related wear/tear

Few years ago, I took out the bike during a nice 50F day in january. Snow was still thawing, salt present, etc. Wiped it down best I could afterwards. During the summer, I started to notice some corrosion on the brake line fittings. Rest of the bike seemed intact.

I wish I had a winter beater. Wouldn't worry about keeping the car clean/salt free.

FWIW, in another week we'll be averaging in the mid 40's+, so it's just around the corner.

With a car there just so many places salt water can get into, I prefer not to worry about it. I originally planned to dd my z and drive it year round but before first winter got my scion. Spring right around the corner= soon all of us will be hitting the roads.:driving:

Either way

Same thing here. Thought about buying a winter set of wheels and tires. Then I found a beater for the money they would have cost, and I'm glad I did. My beater is the poster child for how salt can mess up your car.

another few weeks, i can wait....need one more good wash and i can go for a cruise.

I stored her early NOV, it's been awhile!

I drove my Z today to go to the dealership and get a new Steering Lock Unit installed. As you know, Nissan finally recalled these on RevA and RevB units. The dealership installed RevD. While having the Z out, I decided to go for a little drive..............man it felt great. Lets hope this RevD holds up.

First meet is not that far off. Anyone remember last March at this time? I do. We were in the 60's with a few days hitting 70 and 80F. What a difference a year can make!! Of course, at that time, I did not own my Z yet.

At this point, I'll take upper 40's, 50's would feel just great. It will come.

I remember this time last year quite well. I was breaking the car in, down south, hitting roads like TN129, TN143... I had an expected added surcharge to the trip. A year's time has passed already, so new slate :)

Got mine replaced with a D last year, so far so good.

That is good to hear. Makes me feel better. Like I said, I haven't heard of any RevD's going bad, only A&B's. Hopefully Nissan has worked it out.

You coming to both the meets in April?

The Chicago Z meet shouldn't be a problem. The season opener I'll be on may way back from St Louis, I may be a little late but I'm going to try and make it.

I also got this today. Doesn't match the shift knob perfectly, but it goes with the silver trim pretty well. Does a good job of cleaning up the saggy shift boot.

which knob is that?

TWM A6 Leopard knob on top of a TWM short shifter.

Hey guys, would anyone by any chance have some pearl jam tickets they would like to sell? Looking for general admission or front field tickets. If so please pm me. I need 2 tickets.

Sorry to be jumping on this thread but seeing as the concert is in chicago thought this would be a good place to ask.

Thanks

Man, the Bulls are playing like ****.

I can't say that i expect Rose to come back to this team.

Yeah as a bulls fan for 19 years I was scratching my head on that one :shakes head:

Thy seem to be mentally exhausted as much as physically

Thibs plays his starters way to much, to many minutes....that's why end of each year they die down.....maybe not the case this year, but still a mix of that and all the Rose ********

It doesn't help that 2 very important defensive guys and 2 of the main offensive guys are all out. I haven't heard anything about taj. Have you?

i heard day to day yesterday....but who knows lol

Atleast the Bears are making some decent moves.

Broncos and Seahawks are going to be iLL

Rose is listed day to day as well I think.....:wtf2:

Any word on what their doing regarding urlacher

Still working it out, he visited the Vikings yesterday or day before

He's :stirthepot:

Urlacker on the turf is a LOL

I don't really care for him to come back.

Old and slow

Did you install those springs and spacers yet?

That's for sure

Not yet i had a pretty busy winter and just never had time to get to it. They should be on before I start the car for the first time though:tup:

Nice, yeah i have a few things laying around....Not sure when i'll get around in doing that.

I just want to cruise to the city and enjoy what i missed for 4-5 months LOL

:iagree: lake shore drive night cruising! :yum: :drool:

Weather not looking great anytime soon :(

hopefully it rains on friday though.

according to the forecast we will have below freezing nights with 40
s daytime even march 23.

yup! lol, crazy to think we were in the 70's last year this time.

:shakes head:

Yeah St. Patty's day will be cold this year. :rolleyes:
