Dropped car off for dipping today. A little nervous about how it gonna turn out. Last pics while it's still mag black, at least til spring when I peel it off.

I finally got around to trying out the Griot's Garage Waterless wash I picked up over the weekend last night. Of course I woke up to pouring rain so all of that was for nothing but I went to bed feeling good about myself.

I think I'll give it another go tonight as the forecast calls for nice weather over the next week.

What did you do with your SENTRA today

Driving in to work today, the suspension is so soft, it's a wonder I'm not sea sick.
Hopefully have the Z back on Fri.
Wonder if I can hit the Insurance up for Dramamine?

Ya might want to check the packaging, I just replaced mine (yes, a total PITA), but the larger bushings were all messed up. The thick ones, the one the hole diameter was too big for the sleeve and both of them the rubber was split where it stepped down. Joe at ZSpeed looked through his stock and found a couple sets similar, fixed me up though... Great customer service!!!!

I rescued my daughter and friends from a spin out and tire wheel separation.

Now she knows not to gun it coming out of a turnaround on wet roads.
Luckily that was the only damage.

She did a 180 and was facing traffic coming out of the turn around. Her rear right tire hit the curb as she spun and the tire separated from wheel.

Just as I was trying to figure out how to jack up her jeep a wrecker comes by and lifts it for me. I was like uh whats up. He said your jeep now change the tire. I was like whoa what do I owe you. He said your call. Go figure spare was flat. ugggh My ex stopped by and took the tire while he and I waited. I was like I got 40 for your time. He got a call as the jeep was up in the air. He was there like 30 minutes or so really nice guy.

So that is what I did with my Z today

That's the hard part. Labor don't come cheap and described to be a real pain to remove. Hard to describe but I noticed a nice difference with the Whitelines.
