Found something I like better on my daily drive than on-ramps.
Bringing my daughter home from a soccer practice last night. (new location)
Found a traffic circle. At the time of night we were out the roads were almost deserted in this area.
Never really cared for traffic circles in the past, but finding a deserted one in the Z was muy emocionante! :driving:

Did something kind of cheesy (according to one of the guys I work with)... Put a JDM Sport tow hook on the front.

:icon17:

i wish i could find a cool rear tow hook that's not the cow nose ring type.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the rear tow hook location non-existent? I had to tow my 2010 when the steering lock failed a while back and there is nothing to screw the otw hook into behind the little pop-out piece under the rear license plate.

that is correct. but there are kits that mount to the strap-down hook bracket which can be used as a tow hook.

but i doubt it is strong enough to pull a car out of a ditch with it.

Thank you.

Also, it's a good reason to try to keep my cars out of ditches.

I miss running a tow hook, my new bumper is too long and I can't use the stock location :(

In for pics of your setup

Placed my order from getyourwheels :happydance:

Forgestar F14
Burst Bronze
19x9.5 + 20 Semi Deep Concave
19x11 + 15 Super Deep Concave

Cleaned. :bowrofl:

Better than my Sparco spring latches.

But.. but... they're rubber bands!

I like them...

rubber bands!

I'll use metal. And mount them in the inside of the fender.

Got my car back from the shop that did the damage. They gave me their word and fixed the font lip that they accidentaly cracked. It looks really good. The cost I paid for the brake service and more pretty much went back to the repairs. They did not make money on me this week. Looks like I have maybe 6 more months of life on this lip. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Edited my post about the tow hook. Gotta excuse the bug guts, the grasshoppers are everywhere.... :eekdance:

I was on a steep hill in the rain.
Got it up the hill, it turned the corner and I spun out by smacking the guard rail.

Need to get a new hood, new left headlight, hood, both front fenders, rear bumper, rear tail light.


it was ...awesome... f**k.

damn man, im sorry. Hope it all works out in the end and the car looks like nothin ever happened.

So sorry to hear :( Hope you are ok.

I am okay, I was just in utter shock of how quickly things went from a little tailspin to a full 180 and smacking the guard rail on wet roads with so much damage. Just glad no one else was hit by it spinning out and I have no minor/major injuries.

:icon14:

Ouch.

last night i filled air in my tires. :D was at 37psi at 60F inside my garage, knowing my drive on sunday will be 35F, psi'ed up to 38. i like to keep around 36.5psi at all times cold while motoring. :p

:tup: You are very detail-oriented.

yah, i only get to drive the Z a few times a month so i want the drive to be as enjoyable as possible. :D

I hear that -- my Z driving is way down...

I am taking the Z to Thunderhill to race on Monday, leaving Sunday. I have been driving the XKE a few days this week and I am loving the perfect weather.

Drove Harry to work.
Admired Harry from office window (several times).
Drove Harry home in sunny 62 degree weather.
Perfection.
I love Harry :tup:

:tup:

:tup:

Glad you are ok. Sorry about your car. :(

Applied some Z1 Motorsports corner window stickers. Just about to go and give ol' Blackheart a nice bath and hit her with some black detailer. Lil bit of tire shine and she will be good to go.

Finally having my headlights done tomorrow. Satin black housings, STI-r lens retrofit, 6000k HIDs, angel eyes, and fixing the cut off line :)

nice! :tup: would be too much of a distraction looking outside seeing a pretty Z. :icon17:

huh, is the decal ready for water? :confused: i usually let decals set for at least 24hrs before using any water. :D

sounds like an exciting weekend! :tup:

:tiphat: it is!!

:icon18: i can only imagine how many times you stood up "for coffee" coming back with an empty mug. :icon17:

Exactly!! Orrr-just checking the weather! Lol

LOVING the exhaust note. Drone is non-existent unless you're lugging the engine in 5th or 6th. Highly recommended for the drone haters like me.

Installed SPL A Arms

drove the z to work today. I was temporarily assigned to another shop and for the longest time I had talked of my z. I guess no one believed me until today when they saw and heard it. Lots of people oohing and aaaahing over the beast. I only worked half day because I am relocating to Palmdale for a new job within the company. Tomorrow I am going to put on over 200 miles for a place to live. Lookin forward to it.

Mr. B15 -- do you have scraping problems?

Picked up the Turtle Wax Black Box Collection and spent 5 hours killing my back and giving my lady that shine!

Great product package for any black owners!

B15, I like the first pic, looks like the exhaust cracked the driveway :icon17:

I do not, but I am still stock height. Thats one of my concerns with this exhaust.

On a side note, just went to dinner with the wife and she noticed the change in tone right away.....then proceeded to tell me it was too loud and she hates it. My response....."it sounds great! You'll need to get used to it!" :D
