Wow -- 415.4 miles in the Juke today... The thing is no Z, but also no slouch either, especially in "Sport" mode. Highway 5 from Sac to LA is one

Wow -- 415.4 miles in the Juke today...
The thing is no Z, but also no slouch either, especially in "Sport" mode. Highway 5 from Sac to LA is one of the most boring drives on Earth. Here is my "Sighted Vehicles to Which I Paid Attention, by Frequency" list for the trip. 370Z -- 0 350Z -- 12 "Riced-out" Jetta -- 3 "Riced-out" Honda/Acura -- 17 "Riced-out" Miscellaneous -- 32 240Z -- 0 300ZX (Z31) -- 4 Kia Soul -- 16 Juke (not counting mine) -- 1 Lambo Gallardo -- 1 Toyota Prius (with normal driver) -- 189 Toyota Prius (with race car driver) -- 4,864

They truly have something to prove..They think they are better than others and they race around everywhere... I got killed yesterday by one...Oh, I didn't race, that is why I lost.. I don't need MPG...I own Oil Stocks, but they think they are smarter than me... If they bought Oil stocks in 2009 , they would have a paid off car now, and still have the principal..But since they HATE evil Oil, they refuse to buy any... Maybe they own Solyndra stocks, haha

Woohoo, new shift knob. Now I just gotta decide what my next purchase will be. I'm thinking Evo-R fang cover but I'm undecided still. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1339793550.293962.jpg

![]() If you're looking for a fang cover, look at the one theZstore sells. I just bought one. Nice piece, fits good, and covers all the painted areas.

Thanks! I guess I was one of the lucky ones, no threadlock on mine at all, came right off with no issues.

Hello all.
Well I went for a ride. What fun car the 370Z is. Watched a Prius chasing a 240Z chasing a Red Ferrari with center exhaust.. I was just cruising at 70 MPH. Then my Rear center strut bar now is rattling....I will have to check it out... Other than that, no stories to tell, most people were pretty cool on the road...I took the back roads, and stayed out of 3 miles of stop and Go... Hope all is well with you car freaks...

Hey Guys!
![]() Just checking-in from Destin, FL. After getting fussed at by miss Pint for being MIA, I thought it best to post today. Been at the beach with the family - Mom, two brothers and their families for the week. Loading-up tomorrow to drive back to Houston. Love the pictures of mr. Fire's new ride and very happy to hear that miss Pint can see again. Glad to hear mr. onzedge had a great presentation this week, and a non-eventful drive to L.A. Hopefully, I haven't made it onto mr. kenchan's ignore list. Sincere apologies to mr. happy for the ongoing hassle with the lug bolts; it as not my intent for him tom have this much trouble with his spacers. Best wishes to all for a great weekend. Can't wait to get home tomorrow and watch LeMans. At least I can listen to the IndyCar race at Milwaukee on XM. See ya'! ![]()

Haha I agree, but I'm shipping my car overseas next month, so I've decided to hold off on the HU and lowering since the shipping company the DoD uses has a bit of a reputation for having sticky fingers and not being able to drive the cars. Once I get settled in Europe, HU, springs, and wheels are first on my to-do list!

Just drove to the local World of Beers and met another 370z owner. It was completely stock (not even window tint)! I was amazed! I told him that "these cars are made to modify"! Anyways, it was nice to meet up with another Z guy.
