I took my 79 year old mom around my favorite (super easy) turn in her neighborhood at 40 MPH. It is a 180 degree perfect turn. Just set the steering wheel at the start of the turn and hold it. Any faster and the tires squeal and more skill is required.

I said see how well the car goes around turns. She said she too takes this turn in the same manner and mentioned she thought I could go a tad bit faster. This is from the same woman who worries every time I go to the track.

I have sprayed and soaked Turtle Wax tar and bug remover on marks left by tire pieces at track with good results.

Is the sponge abrasive?

My Mom sometimes says "Honey, you drive with your foot in the carburetor" -- implying I drive fast. I have to remind her the 240z has 2 carbs and the 370 is injected.

I just say you're right mom and let it go.

Performed the most difficult mod on my Z yet....changing the damn shift knob!!!! Installing the rear Nismo sway bar was a pain in the *** too. Pics show the knob, sway bars and the Akrapovic exhaust which isn't too common.

Good job!

I'm told by a detailer friend that if you keep the sponge well-soaped with car wash solution & water, it should be fine even though you would think it will hurt your paint. Amazon.com: Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad: Automotive
