As we have previously covered, I am under 5'. Just driving automatic is dangerous since I have to sit so close to the steering wheel. I tried to learn manual in a 350Z once and I was practically against the steering wheel just to get the clutch all the way down. When I'm driving my Z, I have learned how to angle myself so that I can reach.



No Z love for me today.

Dr. Mrs. Onzedge must be super cool. Is there any animosity towards ex #1?

Nice pic man!

I can see where that can be an issue. Maybe z35 will have adjustable pedals just for you.

Well it's a good thing I stopped when I did! Seriously though, why the hate on my auto? I'm not the only one who rolls in one.


Nope, no takers yet.

Ahh, you worry that perhaps the guys are gonna go "there"? Meh, we keep it clean.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, on to the PSS

Yep, they're on, and it's bittersweet!

Tires are awesome, and much quieter than the stockers (granted the stockers were down to nuthin'). I'll know more once I start to wear 'em in.

Wheels are damaged. Why does this sh!t keep happening to me?! ANY time someone touches my wheels the fark 'em up!

I had a pre-install inspection, and we both agreed there was no damage on the wheels. Then, on post inspection when I pointed out damage on three of the four wheels...they denied that it had anything to do with them. That it was "impossible"! Dude said he'd take it next door (to the car wash) and have them "buffed out". I said "that's great, but it's not going to repair the damage".

Deny, deny, deny....

Once more the dude was all "that couldn't have happened here" and I stated "THEY.....WERE.....NOT.....DAMAGED. We inspected them together".

Needless to say I have the number of their mobile repair guy. They didn't even have the common courtesy to apologize.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuu Tire Kingdom!

Yup, it's touchless..but there's still damage.

Nah, I'll get over it. The damage is not too visible..but it matters not, because ima get that sh!t fixed.

Thanks Alcheng.
