What did you do with your Z today

Masa · 09-23-2011, 08:11 AM

Drove the Z to work today after slumming it in the Altima for the past 8 days. Could not drive the plebeian-mobile and had to mix it up.

I have the timing on all the traffic lights to and from my commute to work memorized and the Altima just did not have enough punch to make the time cut offs.

A good example is this one red light in particular that I know there's no way to avoid. As soon as it turns green and I turn left onto the road, if I travel slower than 55mph I will hit the next light as it turns yellow and will have to stop. However, if I travel at 60mph or higher i will easily make it past the second light on a green and see it transition into yellow through my rear view. The Altima just doesn't have the punch like the Z does to get up to the average speed before that cut off happens.

Dunno if I should be

or

that I actually have the timings of lights memorized...

Saw a boring gunmetal grey 5.0. Makes me glad that I don't have to worry about needing a back seat. Did remind me why our Z's look so damb awesome and individual.

Have a great Z 1 spohn.
