What did you do with your Z today

@DLSTR I've had a similar problem on my 3000gt where one lug was on so tight it had to be snapped off (believe me, we tried everything) breaking the stud!

Your right though, if either of our problems were to have arisen after a flat tire on the highway especially in bad weather conditions it would have been a lot worse

First time for me with a lug/lock. Yes could have been much worse and showed the true character of my dealer. Great people!

Drove the Z through some Napa twisties on my way to a winery for work! I'm totally not use to the feel of the car yet. The clutch, steering, size and power delivery are very different from my Evo and my old miata. Geez, I still haven't found a solid seating position and mirror settings! Maybe another month and I'll be ready to push it a little harder.

I was in the drive-thru tonight and heard a kid tell his friend "hey is that an R8?" while pointing at my car.

Been offline since Thurs afternoon...any-who. Had friday off Vet-D, went to see Immortals, real good, like a modern day Ray Harryhausen of Sinbad and Clash of the Titans (the original version).

Washed both cars (got some sprinkles during the wash), then went for some Sushi.

Off this morning with both cars to Mr Onzedege's house to check out his new stance and taking the DSLR and tripod for some photoshoot....dunno know where though...but the lighting should be good, partly cloudy today...good for some high contrast photos. Outa here...see ya in a few.
