What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Mt Tam I am · 12-02-2012, 10:13 AM

I passed a Prius in the pouring rain on the way home. It has also been windy knocking stuff out of the trees making a slippery slurry. Mid pass while trying to be smooth, I felt the tires spin and the car slip a little; a micro release of the gas brought it back and I completed the pass with the Prius honking at me.

The road opened up after this and that slurry made for uncomfortable driving. Then out from under the trees, and their slurry, another car was visible and if I hurry up I can perhaps pass it as well. I was already hurrying so all I did was upset the cars back end on the turn before I need to commit and pass.

Shucks, I blew it but to my great fortune the car saw me and pulled over. Visibility in the fog was now limited to less than 200 feet so no more passing. because the weather was so poor no bike or tourists were present, so I still managed a better Saturday drive home than on a dry sunny one.

Wow -- the joys of Marin County driving. I am heading to beautiful Dinuba in the Z this afternoon for some on-site shenanigans at Ruiz Foods tomorrow. Highway 99 does not compare to PCH.

Ordered new belt for removing AC. No one seems to stock this belt and only one company makes this size. But will be here in three days.

Not sure of the length I couldn't recall. I got the part number from my buddy who just did his last week.

SPOHN · 11-12-2012, 10:03 AM

Just ordered Momentum 350z headers and Z1 test pipes from Z1. Great people as always.

So if anyone wants to buy my GTM test pipes they will be up for sell with pics in a few days.

And yes, I can stop Miatas with my barehands.

I have an old 94 Miata (I've lent it to a friend for a few months.) I sometimes think it might be fun to set up for auto cross and the track. Then what would I do with the Z??? Lol. Good problems to have.

nmjaxx9 · 11-13-2012, 06:38 PM

Embarrassing moment of the day: Running over what I thought was just a plastic bag, couldn't swerve to avoid it and couldn't back up thanks to the d!ck behind me. Light turns green and I just hear a dragging noise and I'm thinking FML. Luckily there's a turn coming up where I can pull off to a shoulder. I pull off and the bag comes loose on it's on. I didn't even bother checking what was in it but the front end doesn't look beat up.
