On-topic: Left it in the garage so it wouldn't get dirty. Yeah, I already said that, but it's all I got.


Guess we have to drive away good, helpful members to make way for the ricers.

I really dont get it. This thread is the only drama free thread on here. The same people frequent it everyday and its just a nice place to come and chat. We treat new members that show up super nice and welcome them to the family. Nobody is ever alienated. The forum is doomed. I wont be renewing my premium thats for sure.

I have lost respect for this forum to a degree. It feels like the "family" aspect has been tainted.

I miss Ken. He was a great contributor to this site, with a wealth of knowledge.

Thread relevancy: Drove her to work and back home again. No. Opportunity to open her up, tho.

ms. pint actually made the best point - most of us are Premium members who PAY for the privilege of posting on, and help support, this forum. Great demographic to runoff.

I stand by my original post.

Now to some thread relevant items:

On the way home, someone in an Altima tried to cut me off. He must be a hater. I downshifted using my paddle shifters and got out of his way.

While washing my car this afternoon, I noticed a few bugs on the front bumper. When I used a Brillo pad to remove them, the paint came off! Why is our paint so soft?

I had to fill-up this morning, and saw that regular was $0.25 less than premium, so I went with the regular. It really can't make that much of a difference. I bet Nissan owns a lot of oil company stock.

While I was filling up, a guy in a Ferrari 458 told me his car was better than my Z. That makes me mad. He must be a hater.

Checked the oil too. I'm getting close to change time and can't decide between dino and synthetic. The convenience of going 15k miles between changes with the synthetic is appealing. I could go three years without having to change my oil.

I drove over to Autozone to check out the different oils. I walked out of the store to find a 1986 Dodge Caravan wedged next to me! Must be a hater.

I'm going to hook up with some friends tomorrow and do some serious cruising. I hope no one in an EVO tries to race me. That would make me mad.

I'll take a bunch of pictures and post on Sunday.

Relevant item: I thought about getting really drunk an driving my Z way too fast while howling at the moon, but thought better of it.

Also, I found a dead mouse in the garage, where I keep the Z... He must be a hater.

I looked forward to reading this thread. The "other" thread just isn't the same.

I agree with you --this thread it is not exactly the same as it was. The "other" thread is 100%the goofy and off-topic while this one had the right mix.

Cheer up my brothers and sisters. This is but a bump in the road. We make this forum what it is. Stand united. Keep up the struggle and keep coming back.

Um, go to the useless thread. That's where many of the helpful people went. Literally, most everyone simply transplanted there. I wish kenchan would come back, but just go to the Useless Thread. It's the same drama free environment.

Drove my Zed to work today and listened to some good ch00nz in the car.

Ill continue to post in here as I always have. This is OUR thread. The peoples thread!! There has never been any drama in here. Dont see why it has to start now. I doubt a mod has ever been notified about conduct in here. If you ask me there are way more important things to crack down on then the only good thread on the forum.

Well, whatever, pick your battles. Or you could just click a different thread title and have the exact same thing we already had. Do what you must
