Picked up one of these from Amazon.

Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive

Downloaded the Torque App on my Android phone. Lots of cool options on this thing. It does almost all the things my old AeroForce Interceptor ScanGauge did for my SRT-4 at a fraction of the cost.

I got this one. It came with Windows software. A little more expensive but I wanted the Windows software.

ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth: OBD Adapter/Diagnostic Scanner for Android & Windows

It is very cool. Yours does all the same stuff, just does not come with the Windows software. There is free stuff out there though. Fun stuff. I used it to diagnose the CEL on my truck. Now just need to fix it.

Yesterday we took advantage of the perfect weather to do a little light "testing" to see which of our cars handles better, a c6 z06 or an 09 nismo, through some super quiet, windy back country roads. The only handling upgrades are new tires on both (Nitto Invos and Potenza RE11s). Spoiler- my nismo cleaned house with the competition. Now I just need that 500whp he's got under the hood of the z06... It was a perfect day.

I'm a big Invo fan, but they are nowhere near the same performance as RE-11s. Whoever is on the RE-11s in that battle is going to win. I currently have two sets of Sport Ray's, one with RE-11s and one with Invos. The only chance Invos have to outperform the RE-11s would be in the rain

Coupla turbo's will do that for you.

Correction (not that anyone cares in the slightest lol) - Z06 was running NT05s, not Invos. Still got worked, of course!

That's a much more fair fight. You get a lot more credit now

Now that I put my new shift knob on, I'm aware of where my shifter boot is wearing where it made contact with the OEM knob.
Guess a new boot is in my future.

While everyone else is putting away their baby for winter, I just got Blizzaks put on the spare set of wheels I had. I've got the sand tube, and the Blizzaks will go on when the snow arrives. I'm

as long as it's not over 4" on the ground, then it will be

^ My exact plan within the next month or so. Will work from home if I know snow is coming, but I'm DDing this baby all year 'round.

Took the Z to the park for our near daily workout. On the way home, I saw a very sad homeless man that reminded me of my grandpa. I went to get a few bucks cash and risked getting the Z rear ended in a U-turn lane to get it to him. The good part is that with the new Uprev tune, I could get up and go pretty damn quick.

Yes.

He got $4 and the car that had to stop behind me was probably annoyed so I sped off.
