I need to call the courthouse to see if I am even given the option of defensive driving or not. After so many miles over, it's not an option. Pricing for a county ticket:

Nah, I'm biting the bullet on this one. Mr. BMW was egging me on and I gave in. Just didn't realize that when I looked down at nav he had slowed the eff down and I hadn't. Woo!

Yuck. That seems pricey considering I got a $185 ticket for 50 in a 30 last year (on a road where the speed limit drops from 50 to 30 suddenly - such bull$hit :shakes head: ). I would take gurney's advice and call up a traffic attorney to see what they can do for you.

He probably had radar detection.

hey i missed this post earlier. mr. zman- thanks yah, i think the ms3 and gti for sure :tup: unsure of the focus. i dont like fords to begin with. :ugh2:

Ms3 and gti are great cars. I'm not sure How VW are with maintenance but ms3 Would most likely be cheaper :tup:

yah, ive heard gti's are pretty much a hit or miss like most euro cars so that is one area i dont know if i want to take the chance.

the ms3 appears to be pretty solid. i dont read too many serious issues with that car. too bad it's so frikken ugly.

It will always smile at You at least :p

I have a friend with a Stage 2 GTI running 12-15 psi and 240 whp 260 tq and it has 120k on it. He blew thru 2 transmissions and exhuast leaks etc..

His maintenance is very high

GTI's are really no different than any other car. Start modding and running them hard and you will get issues. Plenty of other owners drive them and have very few issues. Its a great car that does all things pretty well.

I would not have any other HOT hatch. Well I did have an Abarth 500 that was sweet as well :)

Kenchan go test drive the GTI - the overall quality will impress you. Compared to being in the Z its a sound booth, so quiet and solid. I never test drove 1. I bought it and had it shipped over. Man what a great surprise in terms of quality and performance. GO FOR IT!!! :)

Plus the Top Gear review was the deal sealer for me. There are faster cars, but the GTI is still the BEST Hot Hatch. All others wish they were a GTI. It has been a TOP 10 best car in Motor Trend for years and is again to boot.

Oh I did wash and drive the Z today...since this is the daily what did you do with your Z thread lol :)

:icon18: hahaha...yah, i will have to kick it each morning 'wtf are you laughing at? :mad:' hahaha.


i wont be doing any engine mods. maybe axle-back at most if there's such a thing offered on the MS3. will do swifts, spacers, maybe front splitter.

i test drove the previous gen gti and it was nice. it was more like a regular car with regular sporty sedan feel imho. it was nice inside and quieter and a plush ride.

:tup: on the Z washing and driving. :D ive only looked at my Z this am.

Kenchan - ive only looked at my Z this am.

Some days its good to look at it...just appreciate it. Walk away and let it stay clean lol!! :) :tup:

indeed. i like taking pictures of my car and let iphoto entertain me. :p

I have checked out your album here. Your car is simply amazing! Well done !

thanks. :tup:

ordered another mic for the gopro. :icon17:

will probably return it later in the week. lol

:icon18:

Just PM'd AK for another set of forum decals for that 35 whp boost :tup:

:icon17:

:tup:

Howdy Everyone!!!!

Hello from Norway...! :tiphat: :tiphat:

I am actually nowhere at the sea from now, will arrive Bergen tomorrow morning.

The internet on the ship is calculating by minute, therefore I won't be able read all the pages I've missed for the last couple dayz.... but I know all the Z fellows must had a good weekend :tup: :tup:

Still at sea therefore there's no picture to post for now, but I will post when I have some... :tiphat:

Talk to you guys soon!!!

:tiphat:

And yes... I just gave out repzzzzzzz.....

- repman did that.... :tup:

Have fun sir! :tup:

Took the Z out with the Wife today..:tiphat:

When I say "with the Wife", that is code words for under 4000 RPM....:confused::ugh2:

I will let you know when I really take it out for a ride...:tup:

By myself will be code words for REDLINE..:driving::eek:

Are most women really that scared? I hope I don't end up that way.

I don't think so...But my Wife doesn't like me to drive fast.

She zips around by herself, and when she drives me, she is frisky.

But I want to just hammer it and run it up to that RPM that pulls hard..

She doesn't want to.:mad:

And forget about riding in the Z/28...Which is better for me..I like to redline the piss out of that car...

:tiphat:

Hey there, mr.alcheng :hello:

Ouch! Time to sell some blood :tup:

Have fun! Take lots of pictures!

:iagree:

I have had one major cluster poop of a day! Just getting around to checking in with my Z family now.

I'm going to get a head start on tomorrow by saying good morning now. :bowrofl:

Come back to us soon! Lol



Decided to do a quick lap around north Austin after some retail therapy. I need an endless supply of gas to keep me happy.

So I'm looking at this guys ad (I don't know why) http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...hift-knob.html and what do I see? He's using one of my photos that I took of the same style shift knob I once had in my car to sell his. Not cool :shakes head:

Damn interwebz :shakes head:

good evening, mr. gale! :hello: hahaha, looks like you were going WOT all day long. :tup:

oh this is very uncool. :mad:

hey everyone, please post your disgust to this guy's ad!

Sh*t, I'd better fess up then.
In my journal is a picture of someone else's clutch helper spring.
I was too lazy to get under there with a camera and take my own.

bad luna bad bad. (who cares about a helper spring... lol) :icon17: ;)

I steal most of my avatars. Do I need to turn myself in? I should call Mrs. ozedge's brother who is a special agent with the FBI.

not sure if you're trying to be funny or not, but the issue is if it's a picture obvious to an owner we all know who to give credit to for the pict. if it's mickey mouse, we all know it's disney's without someone stating it.

but if it's a picture of a member here who actually put in the effort to make a detailed diy for everyone, nicely finished, and unique, it's different. you can't just post someone else's pict without giving credit to that person.

also you're suppose to post a pict of your actual part that you're selling.

My post was an attempt at humor -- I guess it failed. My brother in law is really an FBI agent though. Kate's family is full of overacheivers.

I take ripping off people's intellectual and artistic work seriously -- it has happened to me many times -- not here, but in other venues as well as at work. The OP in that thread should have reached out for help rather than taking liberties with other people's work.

:tup: it's happened to me many times as well... not just for photo's but also my music.

this is another reason why i hate faux/replica parts. makes me mad. :mad:
