Yesterday was high 80's maybe 90. From the bottom of the hill to my house, the weather changed to fog and the temp changed into the 50's. What a radical difference. tHe roads were dry and the word "spirited" could be applied to my VDC off driving.

I was trying so hard to be good too. I started then stopped a pass of a Prius. Went a bit further and decided to pass the Prius this time. Just as I began my pass I saw the car ahead was a Law enforcement SUV. No pass. Eventually the Prius turned off and the LE SUV was just ahead of me going 35 MPH in the newly reduced 40 MPH speed limit zone. He pulled over to let me by then jumped back on the road to follow me.

I don't know who likes to have the police follow you but I am not amongst them. Another car pushed past a stop sign in between us, then saw the cop and slowed some. Two turns later Mr LE was out of sight and the hammer came down and I could go back to spirited. Ahhhh.

I think about getting a GTR now and again, especially after Top Gear, but the 370Z is just such a great experience that I am a happy man. I think I'd keep the Z if I got the GTR.
