I've experienced this moment, too. It's a weird side-effect of target fixation.
Unfortunately, in my case the flying chunk of tyre left three gouges in the hood that look like claw marks.

Thanks Dallaz! I love this lens, but now I have the craving to look for a telephoto lens haha. Thanks for all the help you gave me when I was trying to decide.

Skeeter got it, it's a Nikkor 50mm 1.4G and I bought it for around $415 shipped through Amazon. I was debating getting it used off a photography forum but this is one item I would rather buy new.

Tell me: how's the Swift drop been with regards to the FI cans getting scraped? Have you had any issues?

I have only ever scraped the cans once, and that was very lightly on this very high speed bump. I normally approach them at an angle which I did for the front but someone was coming the other direction so I had to straighten out and that's when the cans scraped a bit. I bought my exhaust from Juruki whose car is much lower and they already had very light scrapes when I got it so I wasn't too upset.

yah, you might need aftermarket endlinks if you use a real stiff setting. the THK's dont last too long.

(starts to rattle at low speed on uneven surfaces).

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.

Fire · 10-13-2011, 12:59 PM

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.

Fire · 10-13-2011, 01:08 PM

No snow yet but supposed to get very cold next weekend. Has been raining just about everyday though. I'll take the car out any chance I get before the snow comes.

TheGreatOne · 10-13-2011, 01:11 PM

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
