I lost my beloved 350Z STU beast when my friend totaled it (and almost himself) at ZdayZ this year. I loved that car and hated to lose her, but cars can be replaced, people can't.
The story of that day could fill its own thread, but THIS thread is for the "other vehicle(s)".
I get to drive countless cars at the track so I had a short list of favorites once I started considering my next car. I ultimately went with a new FRS because it has great driving dynamics and it's classed well in the SCCA.
My wife was the one "due" for a new car since I drive a company vehicle to work, and her Sebring had 140k miles. She insisted that I get the new car and get back on track. (figuratively and literally)
After closing the deal on my new 2016 FRS, we started looking at what her old car needed to make it a couple more years. That process got us thinking about one of the cars that we rejected out of hand when searching for my new vehicle. One of the dealers had a new 2015 automatic listed as a manual on their website. When we learned of the typo we said "no thanks" and moved on....but not before the dealer told us that they were willing to heavily discount the car because it was a languishing 2015 still on the lot with the 2017 models due soon. It turned out that they were seriously willing to deal, so now we have, well....
Twins:
The parts for the CS street prep are starting to come in. The Borla exhaust is on the car. TRD springs/Sways and Koni shocks are in the garage. My Strano FSB should ship Friday. Tire rack said I should have my RPF1's with mounted Rival S tires in a few weeks.
Already tinted the windows and my new numbers came in:
The parts seem to be going on in reverse order of importance, but the stuff that really makes a difference on the track is just taking longer to get, and get on the car.
TL; DR: Best. Wife. Ever.
