Luna- I actually used DTD this time for my rears. Less that 500 to the door.

Happy- nice to hear. I could have used that today.

You're less likely to get injured boarding, too (IMO).

DTD? Linky please?

Edit: oh..duh...Discount Tire Direct

What'd I do with Zena.... Took her for a short spirited errand drive to Thiesen's to get some cable ties (in the event I need to put front plates on). I park up front and the I see a bunch of Thiesen's workers come out and stand by the door, pretending to look somewhere else. Then as I go to another entrance, they are all checking out my car. I felt like a damn celebrity...... lol.... all that for just merely driving a Nissan.

Gotta love the Z and the styling.

Then I got home, let it sit a bit, then checked the oil again (checked it before I drove too), and all is still normal, with no burning, 100 miles since this weekend. Whew.... (still knocking on wood)

I probably checked it like 20 times already since end of last week........

hahaha,

it would eventually affect reading but make sure to check each time while the engine is cold. that will give you a better reference as oil will drip back down to the pan.

this is why i think people (not you G2Z) checking oil while getting gas imho is not the brightest idea...

Nitex · 07-27-2011, 10:25 AM

haha Ken, same here.. Every time i get a new toy, my SC fund seems to get smaller : (

Drove the Z to work today, needs to get a wash before i take some pictures of her with the new cam.

Here are some quick shots from the new NEX-5 for reference! Overall im satisfied with the iAuto mode. However, according to DPreview ill need to spend some time messing with settings to get DSLR quality from it.

kenchan · 07-27-2011, 08:40 AM

Sounds like fun, G2Z!

yah just keep checking the oil every other time you drive and check while the engine is cold.

Ken,

From what i know the 3 tuning fork has been used since the beginning of Yamaha motorcycles to unify the brand logo

Current logo was implemented in 1998!

In 1898, one year after the establishment of Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., forerunner to today's Yamaha Corporation, the company decided to use a tuning fork as its corporate mark, with "a design featuring a hoo (Chinese phoenix) holding a tuning fork in its mouth" as the trademark. Since then, after undergoing a variety of changes that paralleled the growth of the company, the tuning fork mark was finally unified in 1967.
