Unhappy

Did some touch up paint on my passenger side rear quarter panel - some small rock ricocheted from either due to my flush wheels and speed or from another vehicle. Either or, damage has been done.

2 minutes in the sprayer booth then 2 minutes at speed is all it takes to keep me looking 90%.

Today I got my Rear Fog Light in From Z motorsports, can't wait to figure out how I want to install it, dual element parking/braking, or single braking, etc. Pretty psyched, plus last night saw the first ever GTR in my town. Of course it was way ahead of me at a turn and was gone by the time I got away from the light. Oh well. You know, those things are kind of ugly tbh. Still cool though, just because they're 100K GTRs.

9 more years to pay off my Ex wife. 100's of thousands of dollars to go, but you know what they say about why divorce is so expensive? ...Because it is worth it!

installed my Takeda Cold air intakes, a new backup camera, and then gave the car a nice wash and a fresh coat of wax



Camera is mounted just above the right corner of the license plate


dont mind the glare, its just the shift knob/my camera


and of course got it out in the sun looking all nice and clean and shiny after getting a fresh coat of wax

Took it to Little Saigon in Westminster, Ca for dim sum and pho with a friend. It was Pho King delicious. People there don't care about what you drive, it was great - they try to run you over -- innocently It was a different world. Very exotic. The only thing missing are those scooters and motorbikes. Not a lot or lowered friendly establishments. Tested the lip and put it in it's paces. It was one tough motha and passed. Never going back there with the Z ever again
