I just quite literally almost got frostbite on my fingertips trying to wash my Z.

I used water from the hose on my house. As I'm spraying my car down, it starts to freeze on the driveway. Washing the car turned painful as it was so cold with the cold water wash mitt on my hands.... I had to resort to a no-no... Washing with only one bucket.

I cut corners to finish quickly and can only hope I didn't add too many swirls.

I would have used warm water but by the time I realized my mistake, I had already used the last of my soap!

Worth it though... It was so dirty..

Had date night last night, it went pretty well, and she enjoyed the car too.

Today, calling about some window tint. Needs my privacy!

Z1 Hood Struts installed

Had some problems, but they're installed and the bulging on the drive side is now barely noticeable. The passenger side was perfect from the start. They make horrific squealing noises when opening fully, so I'm hoping that I can do something about that, too. It is so much better than the hood prop though, which is why I am leaving them on even with the issues I had.

Don't ask me for advice, I don't know how this happened... it just did.

I think I'm going to try to remove the clutch pedal helper spring today, forgot to yesterday, to see if that helps the feel of the clutch pedal.

Same issues as I had with the drivers side bulging more. And yes they make a noise when near the top.

It was completely unacceptable at first. After screwing with and cutting out some plastic bits (I understand many people would not be ok with this solution) I was able to reduce the bulging significantly. My biggest concern at first was the heat shield on my R2C intakes, but the hood still seals it just fine.

Yesterday I got stuck behind a Mustang with SVT and cobra badges but his embossed bumper said Mustang not Cobra. He was just a poser.

Today is really cold. I had frost on my roof and deck. My summer tires always make me nervous on days like today. It rained yesterday and left water on the road to turn to ice. I drove the speed limit today and I just can not believe that it it actually this slow. My only incident,if it can be called such, came as I stopped at a stop sign and I could feel a tiny loss of grip as I came to a stop in a few extra inches.

Drove home in the rain today, starting to feel like winter, snow in the mountains. My Tein S Tech springs arrived today. Can't wait to get them and the 15mm H&R spacers on!
