I'm getting new front tires tomorrow, that might have been a contributing factor with my encounter with the possum. I still had the summer tires on, and the temps were in the mid 30s.

finally got rid of my airbag signal since going to aftermarket seats by installing a resistor!

The possum started the problem, compounded by summer tires and mid 30s temps. I was only doing about 40 when the possum wandered out in the road. I don't swerve for small critters, because of the potential for bad things happening. I hit the possum with the left front tire, and instead of going over him, it skidded and upset the car. I got off the gas and stayed off the brake, and just steered. I almost had the car caught, the butt was coming around and once it came around, the car would have stopped. But I hit the transition of the intersection and it straightened the car and it slid sideways into the street sign. The possum was last seen heading west from the road....

That blows, but your ending sentence had me laughing my head off in the office. Customer service thinks I am now even more insane.

Got my Lathe Werks Aluminum shift knob. However, not really looking forward to the stock knob removal. .

Update: Having anxiety attacks cause I rushed my Z into my crappy garage... I wasn't prepared at all...she hasn't even had a wash - even if I did I don't own a cover... I don't own a tender, I don't have wheel chocks, I don't have crap at the moment... ugh

But at least she is inside...

littlejuanito · 12-05-2015, 12:42 PM

Gave her a good washing. Ready for tonite's meet

HulaGirl · 12-05-2015, 01:12 PM

Drove to Wawa for a big cup of coffee. Thinking I need to get out of this house and wash it since it's about 53 degrees.
