Oh I drive the sh1t out of it. Thats for sure. No BS, I honestly think the motor gets STRONGER with more miles. Reason I say that is we had a dyno day with like 30 Z's and I have an AT with just an intake & Exhaust and I made more or the exact same horespower than people with Intake, Exhaust, test pipes, and a tune with a MT.

I haven't had a single issue with it either for all 50k!

I avoided a major accident on the way home, some asshat decides to merge into traffic didn't like what he saw so he stops. Causing me to stomp the brakes, thanks Nissan engineers for making such great brakes.

It was soon guy in a piece of s*** beater causing all the trouble. too.

ARGH!!!

Do you have the Sport package brakes or no? Glad no harm came to you or your Z

Are you sure it wasn't a prius? that's for you, Mt Tam =]

Box of styrofoam caused delays on the freeway, and of course the somewhat-flattened box was in my lane and I had to drive over it. It was like it was snowing on the freeway with so much of it in the air.

Probably didn't do anything, but feel I should take some sick time and make sure my baby's alright.

I'm glad it was just Styrofoam...unavoidable stuff in the road is one of my biggest fears, especially since I lowered the car.

Yeah, worst bit was I couldn't even move over to another lane due to all of the traffic (gotta love the 10!).

Had to avoid tire treads the other day - was hoping others would see it and not kick it up into me, as I've had that happen on my previous car twice.

Try using the WAZE app. If you live in a tech savy area, most road hazards will be reported, and you will get a warning.

here is a WAZE thread I stated a while back with some member feedback.

Does anybody else use WAZE app in car?

No sport package brakes but felt very secure in the stopping power!!! Now I know in moments like that the Z can definitely perform.

Made an appt this morning for Monday with dealership for two items:
They will need the cars(s) all day. They are flipping the bill for the rents and hopefully waiving ext warranty $50 deductable on one of the cars. The bro has all the luck......meaning no deductible on his ext warranty...drats.

1) Go faster
2) Stop noise

Good day

And Happy Friday !
