I have one....but it's too thick...the layer of dirt and dust. The sky is still orange from all the dirt in the air this morning. It appears the bill for the extended drought has finally come due.

I just detailed the Z Sunday so at least it has fresh wax to protect the finish until this all clears up and I can wash it again.

Was driving and got surrounded by literally about 10 UPS and FedEx trucks in front of me and also behind me that you can't see in the pic...felt like I was in the twilight zone or something lol.

California duster is mandatory equipment for my magnetic black Nismo.

Tried on my 350z (means long time ago)... added tons of 'red-hair' on the panels... maybe I didn't use it correctly.....

I just wash the Z instead... or waterless wash during Winter..

After 8 years, 2 months as an ERP Analyst for Clients First Business Solutions -- today is my last day. I am going to the office to spend the day re-capping the open projects and deals I am on and say my goodbyes. It should be an odd day and of this am fairly certain. After that, I am driving back to the Sacramento airport in the 370 to pick up my 78 year old mom who is visiting for the weekend. She likes spirited Z car driving, so I may indulge her a bit. She will get to see her great-granddaughter Faye for the first time and I told her to also bring her "grubby" clothes so she can help out with some window trim painting.

Have a great day all of my Z brothers and sisters (and honorary daughter Ms. Pint).

Yesterday was high 80's maybe 90. From the bottom of the hill to my house, the weather changed to fog and the temp changed into the 50's. What a radical difference. tHe roads were dry and the word "spirited" could be applied to my VDC off driving.

I was trying so hard to be good too. I started then stopped a pass of a Prius. Went a bit further and decided to pass the Prius this time. Just as I began my pass I saw the car ahead was a Law enforcement SUV. No pass. Eventually the Prius turned off and the LE SUV was just ahead of me going 35 MPH in the newly reduced 40 MPH speed limit zone. He pulled over to let me by then jumped back on the road to follow me.

I don't know who likes to have the police follow you but I am not amongst them. Another car pushed past a stop sign in between us, then saw the cop and slowed some. Two turns later Mr LE was out of sight and the hammer came down and I could go back to spirited.

Ahhhh.

I think about getting a GTR now and again, especially after Top Gear, but the 370Z is just such a great experience that I am a happy man. I think I'd keep the Z if I got the GTR.

Oil change of champions from Z1 Motorsport. Man there are about 30 bolts and fasteners to remove the undertray what a pita! But in the end it was well worth it! Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 5W-30 and a Nismo Oil Filter from Verspeed.

Dropped 20 pounds with a new battery.

KSFastah · 10-20-2012, 04:54 PM

Took it for a flogging down Grouse Creek Road in the southern Flint Hills...then home for a detailing before going out tonight.

Absolutely PERFECT day so far.

DR_ · 10-20-2012, 05:04 PM

I also dropped about 40 pounds from the rear by removing the tools and spare. I wanted to keep the Bose woofer so I found a spacer that would take up the slack in the screw mount so it fits with no movement.
