What did you do with your Z today

My Z was driven to the next state, but I wasn't the driver. It was stolen.... by my wife for her book club meet. I was left with the minivan.

I'm actually thinking about picking up (another) DD, since the fiancee might be taking my subaru. Thinking about a Fit--how you like it?
OK yah vs a yaris my day was definitely better! I spent pretty much the entire day in my music room and doing laundry on occasion so I was not bored at all.

The Fit packs a big bang for the buck. Its super slow in the hot weather when u have passengers on board. If u get the MT its actually pretty fun to drive. The AT sucks on it as far as any type of fun driving. For most folks its AT will do fine.

You should buy my 08 (5MT).

The only reason why I got my 08 was because my second kid was born and I needed extra cargo space than what the 06 civic-ex I had offered. But now the little guy can walk all on his own and get in out of the car on his own, no more need. I'm using my G most of the time unless I need to carry cargo.. I have another 09 Fit my wife uses so I'm covered.

Oh btw, unlike most folks car with kids, my cars are super clean inside. I don't let them eat inside the car taught them not to kick the seatbacks not to step on the sills...etc its all in the teaching.

Music room = yep Yamaha CP1, Roland VPiano, FantomG8. and my racks and stuff.

Nice! The butter smooth finish feels good, huh?
one thing to watch out though.... miguiars soft blue was too firm and swirled my Z's finish. I recommend using the super soft *****'* clay. Its a yellow super soft mud like clay that does not haze the Z's finish. Use disposable gloves when u handle it.

Thanks for that tip and link, kenchan. I was looking for a new kind of clay bar.

ate up a bunch of BMWs and P-cars at Barber Motorsports Park. Never could catch up with the Ferrari though, but he never caught me either

Looks great Nyhex, but I am curious about your removal methodology that made the stock knob collateral damage?

I did NOT take my Z to the beach today where I saw a blue convertible 350 cruising along the salt-strewn stretch of sand.
