Wow, I sure do wish we had roads like that here! Looks like it was a blast, especially that hidden road back to 1431!

I will admit tho, there were a couple of spots where the dirt had washed out of driveways on the curve that looked sketchy as hell! :rofl2:

:iagree:

Hey man, is that R2C your only breathing mod? It sounds great!

I had a Greddy Ti-C for a G37 customized and fitted to my 370. Very pleased with the results.

Good morning everyone!

I did manage to find an hour to take the Z out for a spin yesterday between chores... I'm up to 300 miles now.

Left her at home today, driving to work is boring, and sucks, because who wants to go to work anyway, so I won't have my Z be part of that... So I'll go for a pointless, fun drive later today. Well, as fun as I can make it with less than 1/2 throttle and 4,000 RPM, you know. :D

Got 4 new tires mounted and front/back wheels aligned. $315 all together. Not sure if ripped off? I supplied the tires (oem sport pkg sizes)

Yep -- My wife's parents are celebrating 50 years married. It is also a good place to get away, hang out on the farm, dip my toes in the lake, etc.

Next weekend is also Chief Wenonga Days -- one of the biggest things that happens in Otter Tail County each year.

Here is the invoice. I had it done at Hadley Tire and Auto, a local shop. Local Nissan dealer wouldn't touch tires I didn't buy from them -- but nobody carries Hankook Ventus R-S3s...:

yah, it looked thin and cheap. do you remember back in the late 80's toyota had the Tercel? not the bubbly looking one but the one that looked like a thin/flat wooden wedge? it reminded me of that.

I walked around one the other week at the Subie dealer. I thought it was pretty nice. Maybe slightly cheap looking but then again, its a pretty cheap car. Looks like it could be fun. I know all the reviews I have read have been pretty favorable.

:iagree: if one doesn't already have a fun car, i think might be a good car to start. imho the very first thing the car needs is wheels and a nice drop like modding mom's old accord or something. but then it will probably loose that quick handling people rave about in the reviews. wish it came out of the box looking better.
