While on our way back to Austin we ran into another Z. Very fun ride with him, hope he joins the forum. Hopefully I'll have some good video to post.

In our neighborhood, we have humps, lumps and dips. No kidding.

I went over one of those "humps" in a neighborhood near me with a stock 2011 Z and I swear I heard a light scrape that sounded like something plastic when the rear tire rolled down the far side, I guess I should have gone less than 5 mph or something... Do these places expect everyone to drive SUV's? :shakes head:

JARblue 07-22-2012 02:13 PM

Just got back from a great drive with Ms. Pint. She's got all the videos, so hopefully they'll be posted later today :tup:

Cruised out to Marble Falls on 1431 and then headed back to town. On the way back, we passed a GM Z going the other way. A few miles later he's behind us and we cruise into Lago Vista together. Asked him if he wanted to stop and he said "follow me". Next thing I know, we're cruising up this winding and hilly road with absolutely zero traffic pushing the Z at almost every curve :driving: It was freaking awesome, if a bit squirrely with VDC off. The video starts part way in and does not do it justice, but you can at least get an idea. Thanks Pint for doing video :tup:

No -- I use a Meguiar's microfiber mitt (and Gold Class wash).

That's cool that someone took you along for another run!:)

Sounds like a good time!

Absolutely! I am super glad he was familiar with the road and leading the way, too. My tires aren't exactly brand new, and I don't think I would have pushed near as hard without him leading. It was a blast! :happydance:

I wish I would have known that the start of the road was that turn. I would have been ready with the camera. :( Totally had fun though, thanks for driving JAR!

Took my baby out down 360 and back up Loop 1 afterwards. Bad idea since EVERYONE and their mama is on the road right now. Still managed to get her into triple digits on the tollroad. I love my baby.

Working on getting the vids uploaded now but it still might take forever. Slow interwebs is slow.

Ahhh, yes! :tup: I've been thinking about trying something other than my microfiber-covered sponge. Perhaps I'll give that a shot.

I was looking for the microfiber mitt in Google images and spotted this:

Anybody see anything wrong here?

Would you care for another $325? :ugh2:

Keep it safe Ms. Pint. We want to keep you coming back to the board! :)

Really? Everyone else is allowed to talk about how they speed but I'm not? I'm not a princess, I can handle myself. I know the roads where I can and cannot hit those speeds safely and not around other drivers.

happytheman 07-22-2012 03:26 PM

Uh oh...Wrong room. :wtf2:

Honestly, I would've said that to anyone..and wasn't singling you out.

For the record. I was not speeding today. It was an illusion of time and space. Try that one on the next cop that pulls you over :icon17:
