Nah... I managed to maneuver within my lane and just barely catch it with my front driver tire. It went flying off onto the shoulder out of harm's way and there was no visible damage to car or wheel :tup:

I actually did an oil change on a Z with Zspeed shroud a couple weekends ago and it was a mess. The opening is tiny and just barely overhangs the drip from the drain plug. Granted, we did the change on two jack stands instead of four (just being lazy I guess), so the car was tilted back to where the oil ran down the oil pan further back and dripped onto the Zspeed undershroud. But my OEM shroud has significantly more room with just the flap lowered (4 bolts) and works fine regardless of whether I use two or four jack stands. But the Zspeed one looks so :yum:!!

Yep! If they would have had more, I would have bought them, but they only had two. For some reason Advance Auto Parts had them on their clearance table.

I work for AAP, and they are not going to carry the gallon speed shine. Another thing to watch for, wrong prices on the larger bottles of Griots. Sometimes they have the 35 ounce bottles for a few bucks over the 21.... I got both gallons my store had, and I had gotten a bottle of waterless car wash for cheap

The weird thing was that they had quite a few Griot's items on this clearance rack. I didn't figure they would discount that brand. When the guy at the register checked the prices, the gallon was several dollars cheaper than the next smallest size of Speed Shine. I really just kind of lucked out!

Worked on the NOS remote bottle opener. Hope to get the warmer done tomorrow.

Had to take the ride back to the alignment shop today. I noticed some wear on the outer sides of the rear. Looked at the alignment sheet and they had the toe in set to the max acceptable level. Not good.

I'd suggest getting some QD and a few microfiber towels in the trunk. I've read and seen the damage tree sap does so I'm speculating the polen may be just as bad if let sit.

Or if a bird decides to crap on your car. Or bugs... or encountering a wild puddle that is super effective at making a few panels dirty.


Or you can be like me and go home and wash the car :happydance:

I've had the Griots Speed Shine Kit sitting in my Amazon wish list for a while now - time to order it up! :tiphat:

I finally got around to installing my twin Saikou Michi catch cans.
I still have to re-route the lines under the intake for a cleaner look but it's pretty much done.

also changed from k&n's over to some ams dry flow with injen HydroShield.

I live less than 3 1/2 miles from my office but being such a gorgeous morning, I took a 30 mile ocean and twisty valley commute. Then to finish it off, wrote my 1,000 post on 370z.com :happydance:
