so yeah guy here in texas if you go over 100mph you get arrested for sure!

Hopefully thats not the case in texas

To illustrate: I just spent the last two minutes thinking about her, instead of submitting this.

Ahhhhh... Life can be sweet...

Here that will get you charged with street racing and dangerous driving, a $10000 fine, loss of license for 7 days, impounded vehicle (towed on the spot) for 7 days, and all the fees associated with towing and storage at the impound lot. Not to mention the unaffordable price hike in insurance... Assuming you can still be insured.

wow that's BAD! i guess my advantage was that i was on a highway

What I quoted is for any speeding fine where you are over the posted speed limit by 50 or more kph. So in a residential area that would be 100 kph in a posted 50 kph zone, or the highway 150 kph in a posted 100 kph zone.

Other than the time you spent in jail, it doesn't sound like too bad of a situation for you.

Went out to drive the Z home after work and was APPALLED by the amount of dust all over it....we're having a mini dustbowl due to the extended drought of the last couple of years and high winds all day.

Not good. :/

As bad as this is, it is no $10,000 fine either like up north. Any ticket in CA is $400+ so I'd hate to think what they charge for 105 MPH. Impound at $225 sounds about right and I love who you know (judge) works in Texas.

Best of luck, although it sounds like you've had a little bit.

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.

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..

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.

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.
