I can park it in there, but that's about it.

i have two taffyapple bins in there (recycle and trash) but i can still do a full detail on my G and Z in my garage if needed.

but if i didn't have them taffyapple bins in there, that would mean i could keep 2 sets of wheels in my garage.

that's how it once was before the village started using them.

I've had mine 3 weeks. Already put 500 miles on it. Don't feel ashamed one bit. I'll baby the girl every chance she's parked. SHe will be washed, fine dined, loved, and kissed. But I have zero hesitation to run her past 7k rpm while taking tight corners trying to make the rear end swing like a semi jackknifing across a 7 lane highway.

Still haven't bathed her. I think it's been since early March? Every time I think about it, it rains within two days...

She's filthy.

It tried to rain last night, not sure if it's going to stick around - maybe I'll wash her this weekend.

Oh, and I just rolled over 49,000 miles.

They haven't been all fun though - most of my miles have been to and from work, in traffic, and going slow.

Traffic and long commutes has made me hate driving.

March?!?

I think the last wax I gave her was August, and the last wash was in January

And rain in AZ? Skeptical ...

Haha. I know, it's been odd. Usually we're in triple digits right now, but it's been 80-90, then rain will come in and cool us down to 70.

That's going to come to an abrupt end here soon though, I think.

Gotta love climate change though.

We recently got enough rain to bring Texas out of the "Exceptional Drought" category (worst of 5 categories) for the first time in several years

I saw your article on FB.

And I saw that Houston is flooding too.

Enjoy!

I did clean my windows at the gas station last night, trying to provoke the storm clouds, but they didn't open up to clean off my car.

So now I have clean front and rear windows, but an otherwise dirty car.

Went to redline on 1st and 2nd and was trying 3rd but didn't want a speeding ticket. Almost to 1500 miles (1495 and change).

I did that on a test drive of a silver Nismo but not mine.

Nice long straightaway was almost to redline but then noticed I was doing 100 on a city road.

I did a similar thing on my test drive. I backed out a little under 90 though. It was on an on ramp to the freeway though.

That's nothing to be proud of

How do you know if someone else already did that to your nismo?

Anyways, my Z has been dropped off at the shop this morning getting fitted with my amuse rep bumper w/ fresh paint!

kenchan · 05-14-2015, 11:25 AM

yah, definitely need to watch out on the speed in the Z. car feels like it's going 25mph when she's actually doing 55.

RN SHARK · 05-14-2015, 11:27 AM

I filled up with gas and drove to ZDayz!
Dang it, pic is upside down and I can't fix it on my phone...
