I checked tire pressure and lugs. Drove here to work in the rain. I usually don't take out when raining but starting today I said F it. I have to drive this baby more often. I only drove my 350 23,000 miles in three years before I totaled it. So I really didnt get to enjoy it more with all the money I had in it.

Remind me to do that too, Ken. Temps are in 50's now for me... esp in mornings. Don't they say for winter, to OVERinflate our tires? Do you know what the recommended # is for winter storage in garage?

Ah no big deal Spohn... my G was 8 years old by trade-in, and only had 13k miles. But those were a VERY enjoyable 13k miles

all was good until about a block away, it popped on again.
so i u-turned again, and they gave me a loaner...

too bad it's an altima, not the GTR they had on the floor..

sucks. too bad they can't detect which TPMS transmitter in the wheelset is bad from their equipment.

Just gave it a quick water-less wash wipe down to keep her clean until tomorrow, ordering a Dr. Color Chip kit to touch up some small rock chips here and there.

Let us know how that color-chip stuff works out. I don't need it yet on my Z but would be nice to see how effective it is.
