Well, unfortunately I'm not doing anything with my car for approximately 35 more days... it's being shipped to me in Germany.

Drove into work again today. Mid Atlantic is sunny and mid 40's. Perfect day to drive.

Oh yea. I'll be forced to drive home as well. Hopefully it will not be stop and slow traffic.

Hit 88,888 miles

Pintsize725 · 12-10-2014, 11:42 AM

What kind of higher mileage maintenance have you done?

Just wrap it in bubble wrap when you park it.

Hmmm ... a bubble wrap car cover? Business opportunity.

I am giving the Z a day of R&R to recover from driving to work yesterday. Tucked away in it's garage. Hoping for no snow and ice this winter. We bought a monster snow blower so the likelihood has been significantly reduced.

I got on the gas too early in the rain yesterday and needed a quick correction. Never even saw the flashing VDC light.

Today I'm staying put as this rain and windstorm passes.

Sounds like a good idea. Y'all are getting hammered with rain and bad weather, huh? I lived in SF from '96 to '01 and worked in Larkspur. I loved spending time on and around Mt. Tam!

For the first time, I spent a considerable amount of time (2 hours, or so) driving on the interstate today. I love my Z even more.

I see you're in NC..What % tint did you get and what did they charge? I work at Best Buy PT so i thought I'd get it cheap..but they increased prices for Employees..

..so now the search begins for a reputable place with semi-decent pricing.

AND to stay on topic, I ran over 18,000 miles today. Bought the car at 16,7xx. 1300 Mi driving manual. Scary as hell (not used to a car shaking when getting into higher RPMS), and fun as hell.

my z does not shake at redline or while bouncing off the limiter... your car is broken.

lol, When I say shake, I mean the car, "vibrates" and you can feel the gear shifter going crazy when im going over 4.5k rpms. And its a characteristic of the car as a Nismo (2014) I drove did the same. But regardless, its still surprising at times. But, I love it. Makes it feel like I'm going faster.
