LOL. Yep. I confess, come about April, if there's still snow on the ground (and there occasionally is), I start thinking seriously about a trip to the beach.

Battery Tenders come with both terminal clamps, or a fused two-pin connector that can be permanently mounted to your battery. Then all you have to do is plug it in.

"A few hours from the Sierras". That's not snowmobiling, that's a snowmobile trip. I can drive "a few hours" and be sunning myself on a beach somewhere. Snowmobiling is where you ride your machine...

Sounds like that would make for really sucky snowmobiling. Makes me glad I live in Minnesota.;)

I love driving my Z. I love its acceleration, its cornering, and its braking. Those, for me, are the things that make it fun to drive and are the reason I even have that car. When there's snow and/or...

Way overthinking. It's not necessary to go to all that trouble. Four months is nothing. "Oil draining down"? Nah. No such thing.

I agree. It's not necessary, but if you're worried about it, go ahead and change it. Consider it buying peace of mind for $75

The theory is that the engine parts need a little time to wear in and fit properly. The value of engine break-in is an often-debated point.

Nothing special to do. Follow the owner's manual. Oil...

Do a google search on the Glock brass-to-face issue as well as other functionality problems. More common in later builds of the Gen 3. Still an issue, although not as frequent, in the Gen 4.

I drive the car in a manner that pleases me. I don't pay any attention to my gas mileage. If that was important to me, I wouldn't be driving a 330 HP two-seat sports car.

I'm a physician in my 60's. I don't pay any attention to what I eat, but I do pay close attention to my cholesterol, blood pressure, and lipids.

M experience with my 2011 compared to my 2014 is that the 1-2 shift is smoother in the later versio. That said, I certainly never found it to be a deal-breaker in the 2011. Love the car. I don't know...

I think 2010 was the last year Nissan recommended ester oil. Current recommendations are for just plain old oil.
