Just wrap it in bubble wrap when you park it. Hmmm ... a bubble wrap car cover? Business opportunity.

I am giving the Z a day of R&R to recover from driving to work yesterday. Tucked away in it's garage. Hoping for no snow and ice this winter. We bought a monster snow blower so the likelihood has been significantly reduced.

I got on the gas too early in the rain yesterday and needed a quick correction. Never even saw the flashing VDC light.

Today I'm staying put as this rain and windstorm passes.

Sounds like a good idea. Y'all are getting hammered with rain and bad weather, huh? I lived in SF from '96 to '01 and worked in Larkspur. I loved spending time on and around Mt. Tam!

For the first time, I spent a considerable amount of time (2 hours, or so) driving on the interstate today. I love my Z even more.

I see you're in NC..What % tint did you get and what did they charge? I work at Best Buy PT so i thought I'd get it cheap..but they increased prices for Employees.. ..so now the search begins for a reputable place with semi-decent pricing.

AND to stay on topic, I ran over 18,000 miles today. Bought the car at 16,7xx. 1300 Mi driving manual. Scary as hell (not used to a car shaking when getting into higher RPMS), and fun as hell.

I got 40% all around. Light meter read 36% so a few points on over the legal limit. Went to All Pro Window Films in N. Raleigh. Decent shop and the guys know their stuff... Didn't have to tell them how to keep the windows up and they were very meticulous about curing the edges, etc. Not the cheapest around, but don't need the hassle of crap film and crappier installs.



Had my first derp moment, too. Got a few miles away and realized I didn't know what happened to the key. Pulled over looked everywhere. Called shop and he told me they left it in front of the gear shift... Nope. Kept looking, then got a call back - they put it in the damn key dock! Fuggin key sits all ninja like in there. N00b.

lol, When I say shake, I mean the car, "vibrates" and you can feel the gear shifter going crazy when im going over 4.5k rpms. And its a characteristic of the car as a Nismo (2014) I drove did the same. But regardless, its still surprising at times. But, I love it. Makes it feel like I'm going faster.
