Gad damit :icon17: Sometimes my typed words do not come across as intended {sigh}

:yum:

Cars and coffee by myself.... Woke up, went to the kitchen for my cup of joe and stared out the window for a while to look at my Z. Ahh, it was a good one today :rolleyes:

:tiphat: Greetings.

Just changed and broke in my front rotors and pads.

I was on a cruise last night doing a bit of spirited driving and this aston martin was all cool... lol no duh your 125+hp/trq car is going to out accelerate mine... :roflpuke2:

mmm gotta get my pads checked... rotors should be good for now!

Went to pop the hood on my 1975 280zt and the darn thing won't open. Boy was I pissed. Something else to fix. I did drive it for about 30min and topped it off with gas.

Put on RE-11s this weekend. Got an alignment and state inspection (2 months overdue) this morning. Approximately 700 miles of :driving: scheduled for tomorrow.

Ms BC, sorry to hear about Harry getting damaged.. Hopefully the shop gets the paint matched right.

Correction (not that anyone cares in the slightest lol) - Z06 was running NT05s, not Invos. Still got worked, of course! ;)

Katie's/Old Brogue is my absolute favorite C&C in the area! Amazing turnout there, hundreds of thousands of $ worth of beauties, friendly people and good food and coffee. Next time you go let's try and link up!

I will keep that in mind next time around. Z_Stig was there this last weekend. There are a couple of guys in FRS crowd that I hang out with. I used to work with one of them. He has turbocharged his FRS and is getting 400+ to the wheels. Now he needs brakes. PTuning sometimes uses his car as a test bed.

That's a much more fair fight. You get a lot more credit now :rofl2: :tup:

I totally forgot to mention that the tech who handed me the keys asked me if I put premium in it and then proceeded to tell me that I have spark knock :facepalm:

No, I put diesel in it and my tuner has that $hit super lean on purpose :rolleyes: That noise you're unfamiliar with is VVEL :tiphat:

wow~!! that is so nice :tup:

:icon18: minivanz pwnez me.

:tup:

Motored the Z to the store and back...4 miles...woohoo

Heroic.

:tiphat: thank you. He looks pretty sad with no mirror. :(

I appreciate your kind words. :tup:

:tup: :tiphat: :roflpuke2: where do you get this stuff?! Lol

On topic:
looked at Harry briefly while putting the top up on the Miata.


The Miata is still no match.


Even for a damaged Harry :tup:

IKR :rolleyes:

:tiphat:

Drive a whole two blocks to Plucker's to watch MNF.

..........yay

:tup:

:icon17:

It's pure torture.

looked at an ad for a Z for sale
same price that I bought mine but this one has the sports package...:shakes head: Should have waited a bit longer...



oh well I still love her.

I know the feeling. A friend at work was asking me about price ranges for a used 370 so I took a look at Auto Trader and found a local '11 PW Sport Touring, non-nav, with 22k mi for $25K. That seems like steal to me, especially compared to the other listings. Where the only lower prices are for base models and high mileage examples. If I had the money, I would buy it right now. There's got to be something wrong with that car.

Today..
 

Today I dropped my '13 PW Sport off to have Xpel and C Quartz Finest put on.
Looking at her from a 100 or so feet away I realized just how lame she looks at stock height. Now I have no choice but to go ahead with a Swift springs and wheel spacer project. Bummer.

104

After about a week of having the Fuji diffuser, the 3M tape I used gave up on the passenger side and let loose. I picked up the 3M VHB tape and it came to the rescue. Lesson learned: I will never use anything less from now on.

Xpel is a great product! :tup:

My base went for $22k and it had 23k miles on it. One previous owner and no damage. Car is in great shape minus the swirl marks it had when I got it.

The one I saw yesterday was for the same price, 19k miles. sports, non touring.

Put 650+ miles on the Z today :driving: Ticket for 80 in a 60 :thumbsdown:

Oops.

Not sure how I'd feel after 650 miles in a Z. Ticket sucks.

:icon14:

This ^^^

:driving: :happydance: :icon17: that's how I would feel!

No on topic details for Harry today. At least its safe and dry in the garage:tup:

Fast Intentions exhaust is installed! Unfortunately the Z will be going into hibernation very soon. :(

Two 4 hour sessions, and I felt fine. The Z is honestly more comfortable on long drives than any of my previous cars as well as most rental cars I'm willing to pay for. It's cheaper for my company to rent me a car for most trips, but I'd rather drive the Z, be more comfortable and pocket the mileage reimbursement. We bought the Z to drive it, and the reimbursement is a good base for the Z maintenance/mod fund.

The trip home wasn't bad despite backing off my speed a bit. Picked up a good bit of time when I found a BR-Z on the south side of Dallas and cruised with him all the way to 130 north of Austin. We found some good open road just south of Salado. Glad I didn't get the ticket there :stirthepot: :driving: It was funny to watch (and smell) the BR-Z every time space opened up. He was obviously downshifting a gear or two, and I had no trouble keeping up with him by just easing into the throttle in 6th lol

I Paid Her Off! :tup: :happydance:

Now she is all mine, every bolt, nut and washer... She even feels different driving... :driving:

Cheers! :vuvuzela:
