welp, at age 19, i thought my life was about to come to an end tonight. i believe it was a toyota camry that failed to use their signal when switching into my lane which caused me to brake harder than i ever want to and swerve into oncoming traffic. luckily, nobody was close enough to cause any damage to my vehicle. as i cruise into a parking lot(still facing oncoming traffic) i regained my senses and proceeded to meet my gf. God is good

It's dangerous out there. You're certainly lucky! Yesterday I was traffic waiting at a red light and the car in front of me starts rolling backwards. I had to honk my horn to get her attention just before she hit me. Dumb ***!

She had to finish the text before she hit the brake...

Got my rear tires changed after measly 25,000 miles. I'm now running BF Goodrich G-Force COMP 2 A/S with 255/45/18. I'll see how this goes....

Spotted a red Z at school. Didn't know you could make a Z sound like a honda with a fart can...
:ugh2:

Apparently the 2014 washer fluid bottle is larger and the DRL's would not fit. Luckily a 2009 Z was in the shop getting a Stillen bumper put on, and it turns out the the 2009 bottle is smaller. Shop had to order a 2009 washer bottle neck from Nissan to fit the 2009 bottle.

He did not want to paint the bumpers while trying to fit the bottle, so teh paint did not get scratched.

Two weeks later, looks like we are back on track.

Bumpers are finally painted. Maybe done this week? :happydance:

Went out after work tonight and picked these Nismo wheels up. Traded my base 18's and some cash for them. And there's the old Z with my 18's on it now. Also picked up a pair of rear wheel spats that I'm going to have painted the same Gun Metallic, then install them.

I had to run this tire as an emergency tire from my way home. It's not as grippy as re11.

It actually sucks because it broke grip way too early and didn't even convey just bam tail starts moving laterally.

I got firehawk indy 500 on the rear and it cost less. Grip is okay.

Then again it depends on your driving habits and what you're looking for grip vs longevity

Picked up the car from the body shop after getting the handles painted. I think it really pulls the car together.

Edit: Pic is way too big lol

This week the Z received a new steering rack (warranty), new driver side airbag, new driver side curtain airbag, new driver side airbag module, new passenger side airbag, and a new airbag diagnostic module (all airbag components covered by Nissan under good-will coverage). Sad that I didn't have time to pick it up and drive it to the USGP this weekend.
