Not sure I'll let him again, we almost died when he tried passing. Eek!

If you want sometime, I can show you how the Z wants to be driven :stirthepot:

Only for a few minutes with windows down. The inside sound was enough to keep us giddy. The kid is a great driver, just shouldn't have tried to pass on a very curvy road and limited passing areas. Not to mention the car we were trying to pass was still a ways ahead of us.

I seriously need to take some classes. When are ya free? :p

Here's a YouTube smoothed out version of the video I took on the drive. Wayyyy too much road noise, not enough exhaust, I need to invest in something better than my phone or flip cam.
Nissan 370Z w/ Fast Intentions Catback cruising down 1431 - Austin, TX - YouTube

Also, stopped by Ace Hardware on the way back from Horseshoe Bay and picked up what I needed to mod my seat! Now to just drag my lazy *** down there to do it......:ugh2:

Oh yeah, I know about Driveway Austin. $$$ gets in the way. I need a price of "on the house". :icon17:

Seriously though, it is on my list of stuff to do.

Tell me about it! I think my heart has been worked way too hard today. Luckily we only had a little bit of swerving to control and the oncoming vehicle was able to slow down in time. Definitely not letting him drive again, damn kids. :shakes head:

Ms.pintsize725, love to come down to help you out, my other interest is food&drinks… I bet you&hubby are interested in it too, right?? :tup:

Mr. Kenchan -- here is the dining car. You get seated with random people like the kid on the right. I give the food a C grade unless you are absolutely starving, in which case it gets an A.

Thank you, thank you. I really appreciate when anyone compliments my ride, a lot of work has gone into it:tup: I really love the blue as well. Such a great shade. I HAD to have a bright, loud color when I bought it and the only bright color that came with the Persimmon interior was the blue. Worked out great, blue is my fav color:tup:

A work mate rode out to an offsite location that we support and he was all smiles during the ride, claiming that he felt like he was "in a race car"! Nice compliment! :)

Just about Brantly:tup: Next weekend Im doing an engine oil and diff fluid swap for final prep. As well as doing a FULL detail and meeting up with the kid down the street that actually has a 370 as well. He is loaning me his steering lock JUST IN CASE mine fails at ZDAYZ:tup: I replaced my rear tires last week but now I feel like I should do the fronts. They are close to the wear line on the front passenger side and kinda decent on the front drivers. Its a last minute scramble to come up with roughly 500 bucks early this week to make it happen:ugh2: If not ill just understeer into every turn on the Dragon:ugh2::ugh2::ugh2::ugh2::ugh2:

After a beautiful weekend here in the Greater Rochester Area of NY, the forecast looks grim for the next 4 days so I put the Z to bed. :shakes head: Now, I need to go to bed. I'm a little tired after running 3 miles today. I was testing the degree to which I've recovered from the Flu. I think that i'm about 90% back. Now, I have to see how well I can do my P90X routines. I should be okay. :ugh2:

Light Day

Toured neighborhood--I'm on the local covenant enforcement committee--thankless job, basically, but driving the Z makes it less burdensome. And then picked up Chinese takeout food--wife is crazy about it. But back to work tomorrow.

My friend put the AVIC 110BT in his Jeep SRT8 and found out that he could immediately do a firmware update via USB stick to get all the features of the newest model, which at the time was the 120BT. The only hardware difference is the HD tuner added in the 120BT. When the 130BT came out it was only software upgrades - another firmware upgrade and he was basically running the 130BT minus HD tuner. The forum support for AVICs is very good,and the firmware update is hacked and posted in torrent form by a member of the forum, I believe.

Again, I can't say anything as to the use of it with Android devices.

JAR- thanks for the info! :tup: yah, i was looking at the 130bt today along with the 940bt's. :tup:
