Moved my car over 5 spaces because the morons in our apartment complex still haven't grasped the concept of proper parking.

Filled up the tank today and took it for a little 40 mile spin. Saw an old run down garage, turned around and took some pics.

my last fill up I averaged 15mpg. or I like to say a fun factor of 15! huehuehue.

checked oil and it dropped to about 3/4 up the stick... I do notice it's usually a bit lower on a cool engine before getting up to running temps. ah well. this is why I check the oil/brake/clutch levels every fill up. religiously.

I did it at one of the local self service car wash bays. I would have dropped dead in 10 minutes out in the sun!

Damn... Got me beat by nearly triple! :eekdance: Lol That's gonna be a beautiful drive along the coast tho! :tup:

with only 6k on the car I would think the oil is all you need to worry about... Obviously check all fluids tire pressure etc. as well...

Yea it's an awesome drive alot of open road with no police. I did it with my old 370z twice. Didn't miss a beat apart from cracked windscreen because I was rural and had cruise control on 180kmph lol

Removed my front bumper today in order to get it fixed. I also removed the DRL's and the chin deflector thing. Someone grazed the left front of the bumper on Sunday night and took some paint off.

Damn bro! i hope you are ok...

ZeeBabar 07-27-2016 01:15 PM

What did I do with my Z today....where do I start. Okay, I took a bath, dried my hands, laid down a mat to kneel on, bow my head and worshipped it. Then, I picked up a cloth and a glass cleaner and set about removing spots all over, pulled the car outside (garage light is too dark) and carefully looked over everything while thanking the lord for having blessed me with a Z.

I did not notice the sunny skies had darkened and before I could push it back in, the skies opened and the Lord answered and my car and I got thoroughly wet. So now, I am in the garage, drying my car...

That is crazy. As long as you are good, the Z can be repaired/replaced. I've had the car in some pretty heavy rain at highway speeds and she's been stable. Maybe a serious oil slick?

darkphantom 07-27-2016 01:34 PM

It really felt like an oil slick, tires are at 6-7/32 front and 5-6/32 rear

Crazy how quick something so innocent can happen like that.

Got caught in a downpour the other day and there was a ton of standing water on the freeway. Thankfully the RE11's held fast.

Hope it is a quick road to recovery for your car.
