The important bit is pull. the. fuse. I kicked the **** out of it and nothing. I gave it some love taps with the hammer and nothing. I felt so lucky when I gave it a good smack and it disengaged, and...

Note that there are two fuse boxes next to the battery. The steering wheel lock fuse is in the larger one that is more difficult to get to, you have to pull it up to get the cover off and get to the...

I'm around ~2800/3000. The last time I went I neglected to tell them to use full synthetic and the invoice said they used "BULK OIL", but everything I've read says conventional oil is fine so I...

Low oil - engine damage?

Currently between 3000 mile service interval / oil change, and I decided to check my oil level yesterday after reading another thread about some guy's engine seizing up. The oil level was low.. it...

Yeah, but the whole thing.. yeah, those tires were (relatively) expensive to me, but this guy gets into a Merc that I couldn't really afford. I feel like maybe I've not recognized an Andretti or...

Weird encounter in a Kroger parking lot (tires)

Walking out of a Kroger (a grocery-store chain around here) with my cart, I see this person bent over looking at my rear-driver quarter-panel. I'm like, "oh ****, this person is looking to see if...

The road noise doesn't bother me. They could have done better on exhaust sound and engine harshness. I am used to the engine harshness now though and I will rev right up near the red-line feeling...

The compliments the car has gotten from total strangers has really surprised me. It's a good looking car and relatively rare, though. Having the sport package probably helps.

To be honest, I would straight-up trade my 2009 370Z Base+Sport for a 2009 Cayman S (not just because the Porsche has a higher resale value!). Not because I dislike my Z in any way (in relation to...

10,000 miles.

I've driven my 2009 PG Base+Sport 10,000 miles. It's an absolute blast through curves. It has me on edge through winter (bad grip in the cold, no grip after precipitation), and it's still a joy to...
