Nothing except look at it

First signs of snow today, granted it won't stick but I guess the season is over so most likely storage this weekend or early next week. Hopefully one more ride or two this week though.

I cheated on my Z last weekend while in Vegas...drove a Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, both beasts....wow. But funny enough, coming back to my Z a few days later, still very enjoyable!

It is well worth the premium over my previous cover now that the Z sits for longer periods.
cool. that's the cover i use on my G.

the poke in the eye for some folks is that i only use it inside my garage.

Picked up my sweet Z from the body shop after getting the lip re-worked. I'm much happier with it now.

I removed the blue that was on the lower section of the center piece and had the center and OEM fangs somewhat conjoined (if you will)

Yesterday, I ordered Aerojacket's SS CF hood with splitters.

Today, I received my final payment notice for my F14s. Paid that and they are ready to ship!

I like how you painted the black trim piece at the top as well really makes the difference for me. First time I've seen this part painted along with the fangs and it looks good!

Thank you sir. I wanted it to look uniform.

Z spent last night in the garage for the first time in over a week

Then she throws a P050E code this morning - Cold Start Control. Any thoughts on this one? It got cold last night (relative to Texas - low 30s), so I'm wondering if that's the reason and whether the code would go away when it warms up later this week (supposed to be highs in the 60s tomorrow and 70s on Fri). It also seems relevant that I got an Ecutek tune this summer, but I'm not positive they're related.

Drove to the eye doctor and the receptionist a middle aged women asked me if my car was a GTR. I kindly told her it was a 370z the GTR's baby brother. She was in complete awe of the Z and would not stop talking to me about it lol.

If you had a portable heater do you suppose you could heat up your garage a bit? Good luck anyway.

Considering I live in Texas, that's a big IF... I don't have one

I'm hoping it will clear itself after a few drive cycles. We'll just wait and see
