The ole Z is just fine. The sound going over it though... It still makes me cringe just thinking about it.

A pothole shallower than this one busted the shock mounts on our 330ci. The Z is built so much more robustly. Sometimes, when I'm working under the car, I'll just lay there staring at and admiring the undercarriage
lol! The weirdness that is a Z owner

I forgot how bad the Dallas roads were until I read this.

The ECU has grown noticeably louder . Also, I have noticed that I somehow got a weird bump/dent/bent area on the panel below my door. Is that called a side-skirt? I don't know, but the funny thing is, there's no paint being chipped or damaged on that bent area. Let alone, I don't remember damaging that area. I wonder if I can replace it..

Got my car back from the garage. The FI exhaust is on and I am smiling from ear to ear.

I even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp, and it read "Duf's Z is Pimp!"
