I brushed snow and ice off of her, started her up and took her for a spin around the block to see how the blizzacks worked.. I was amazed.. Have another car to travel in and wont be driving in snow unless necessary but at least i know I can now.
Have about 19 inches of snow outside mind you... roads were plowed but she did good through layers of thick snow and even up a hill covered in ice. Blizzacks LM 25s FTW |
My car threw an SES light...so I drove to Advanced Auto after I got off work.
|
I got to leave work early so I got to enjoy a wide empty highway for some spirited driving. Had a huge smile on my face when I got home. :)
|
Brushed snow off of it with my soft gloves and let it run for a bit after I got home from the holidays. Parked it in a spot that the apt. complex plowed nicely, under the street light where it belongs for all to see
|
Look at it after about 5 days of not seeing my Z, X-Mas vacation. ;)
|
Put in Garmin NAV.
|

|

^looks awesome, Triple!
I ordered center caps finally...but I think I want new wheels. My friend just showed me CCWs new wheel on his 350. Only they made wheels bigger than 18"...that's just too small for our cars :( |
Installed my simota1 fuel gauge overlay:
http://www.the370z.com/members/lunaz...ge-overlay.jpg Came up with a solution to the problem of high winds lifting my cover off of the car: http://www.the370z.com/members/lunaz...nd-problem.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/lunaz...nd-problem.jpg I found these big-a** magnets at Harbor Freight for about $3 each. They have a 95 lb. pull rating, so they should be strong enough to prevent the cover from lifting off of the car in windy conditions. The magnets were bare metal when I purchased them. I coated them with Plasti Dip rubberized paint to add grip and make sure there wouldn't be any rough edges left exposed to wear a hole in the cover. |
The weather broke for a bit here. Snow is all but gone. Took the z out for a ride.
She got dirty but it was worth it. Put her back in the garage all clean and with a full tank of 93. Just waiting for another chance to get my fill before spring. |
after short drive in the sunshine, decided to give it a wash :)
|
After not driving her for about a month and half because of the snow I finally decided to pick her up at my work. gave her a wash and finally took her back home.

I installed the remote gain control for my subwoofer amp. I had not planned to use it, since the Pioneer HU has a sub out level adjust. However, I found myself fiddling with the sub out level too often, and it is deep enough in the menu system to be a driving distraction. One more console switch blank filler put to use. Beautiful weather here in Dallas, chilly but cloudless blue skies.
