What did you do with your Z today II

Posting is an addiction. I've gotten worse (or better, depending on your view) as time has gone on! If I have any spare time on my hands, I'm posting here. I have to think tho: I have valuable little spare time compared to the likes of Ken-San and Mr. Onzedge!

Like the license plate debate here in Texas, yeah, you eventually would probably win, but I'm not interested in being the test case.

All very valid and well spoken points, good sir! I hereby deem you forever a Wise Man.

Happy has spoken!

Drove the Z to work today. On the way, I spotted a mustang with stripes (I forgot its primary color), and in front of him was a silver 350Z. Both were in the left lane, turning left, while I was in the right lane, also turning left. When I exited my turn, I pulled up alongside the mustang, and peered over at the driver. He glanced over in my direction, and hit the gas for a short burst of acceleration, and then slowed quickly, because traffic was a little tight, and most of the lead cars had stopped at the approaching traffic light. I moved to the left lane behind the stang so that the two of us Z owners sandwiched the stang. After a short while, I moved back to the right lane, because I saw an opening where I could get alongside the 350, and give him a thumbs up. I did, but I wasn't sure whether he saw me, and I couldn't slow down with traffic behind me. It was a cool encounter, and the weather was gorgeous this morning, and it will be for the rest of the day -- sunny, 55 to 77 degrees F.

When I reached work, a fellow employee commented about how my Z is the hottest car in the parking lot. I'd say, the hottest in the county!

Anyway, he mentioned his new Lexus, and how he had never owned a luxury car before. I mentioned that I thought about buying a Lexus IS 250c, but that I changed my mind, and returned to my roots -- a Z. He agreed that that was the better choice. His Lexus is a fine car, and I'm sure that he's happy with it. That's the important thing.

Anyway, it was a good morning.

Looks good alcheng! I would do a small drop with swift springs or the like, before doing spacers. Looking forward to more pictures!

Looks great! I would have to agree a subtle drop then decide on the spacers. The front looks ok might need a 15mm on the rear. If u want to see what the swift drop looks like u can look at mine or there are a lot of guys with that set up.

Yeah me too. I didn't even buy it from him I bought it off of a forum member and he was as genuine as he could be. He really stands by his product!! Very rare these days!

I ran some errands today. Went to fill up the Z after using up the gas that sat in it over winter. Turns out the price of gas jumped 10¢/liter over night. I only put $40 in, didn't even hit half a tank. I'll fill up next week when the price drops to more reasonable levels.

It's a gas by J M Gale, on Flickr

I'm lucky, in my town gas is usually 10-15¢/liter cheaper than the big city... When people ask why our gas is cheaper than everywhere else, I tell them our town is a gated community.
