What did you do with your Z today

Skeeterbop · 10-13-2011, 12:24 PM

Drove devils highway from Clifton, AZ to Alpine, AZ. It's a very fun and beautiful drive. The first 30-40 miles is every bit as twisty as the tail of the dragon. Total elevation change is 6k feet at it's highest point. Highest oil temp I saw was about 255-260.

I know what you mean Luna I got hit by a large woodchip and it left a chip on my hood.

Recieved and instaled my battery tender from the WalMart Social Club. I had to order mine as they didn't stock it at my local store. Took just a few minutes and I will know that in the spring my car will start right up. I put Sta-Bil in the gas a few days ago.

Goint to put down a deposit on a 15 day Hawaii Cruise Jan 2013. Looking forward to it.

Kewl Skeeter. I'm soo looking forward to next years Z show and driving the Tail topless.(Well the car topless cause you guys don't want to see me topless) LOL My only planned mod for next year is a Go-Pro to record the fun.

Been driving with VDC off last few days, for October we've had amazing weather in the low 20's (low 70's in F for you americans

)

It stayed home yesterday but driving all today...and its clear skies instead of rain. I'll be sad, I'll be storing her for winter in maybe a month or so...so enjoying every last minute

sounds great!

yah, enjoy the days you have left for sure.

while i will be hibernating the Z most of the winter i am planning to take her out on dry days.

im just barely 7k miles at 2yrs ownership. i need to motor her much much more. lol

at this pace even after 6yrs ownership she wont be at 22K miles...

very low miles indeed...I want to keep the miles low too but I love driving her too much lol. But I also don't have a G that shares time with it like you Mr. Kenchan

I wanted to do the dry cold days also but the salt they use up here is just nasty

hahaha.

yah, the salt dust does cake onto the side and especially the rear bumper from the exhaust steam even if the road is dry.

so i use no-rinse car wash in my garage if i can get the garage ambient temp warm enough to where the thing doesn't freeze.... usually 0C is no problem.

but hibernating the car is sooo much easier.

Winter is definitely coming here too. This mornng the temp was way down in the 50's.

giving my car a wash...and now its raining....

happytheman · 10-13-2011, 05:23 PM

Yep, we're feeling it too! Mornings are in the low 70's (farenheit)!

I'm sad, because I'm going to have to store my Z overnight during the winter!

I can't wait until winter. My back sweat sucks. Our seats should be cooled like the roadsters.
