So my Z will be going in storage and holy ****...i called my insurence company...before i say what im paying for a premium please dont start all this bs about "omg you are getting raped" I'm 23 years old, 2 accidents, 2 speeding tickets (one ticket was 10 over the limit the other was 40 over) and of course i own the Z and only been driving for 2-3 years...so not a really good record.

Anyways im currently paying $5300 a year for full coverage. Talked to my insurence company to see if i could drop it down to PLPD...didnt want parking insurence because i might have to drive it during the X-MAS break we get. So after going through Bank of Nova Scotia to get there permission to drop the insurence it dropped from 5300 a year to 1300 a year....$4000 dropped...god damn!.

I was thinking about doing some mods but im just going to leave it. Doing some work to my ZX6R and might possibly get a turbo system fab'ed up.

Ouch, that hurts!! I've got mine out today (and had it out yesterday). Just lov'in the "bonus time"!

man i was so tempted to bring my ZX6R out today but i already ripped everything apart to prepair for the install of new front cowl, fairings, exhaust system, sprockets/chain, ignition modual, speedo healer and HID's. So it would have been to much of a pain to put everything back together just for 1 day (since i leave tomorrow for 1 month)

I'm still driving the Z a few times each week. The weather here in Halifax is holding up nice. Sunny and 10C today and a high of 12C predicted for tomorrow. When the weather does get ugly, and it no doubt will, the Z will only come out of the garage on dry days regardless of the temperature outside. Hey, that's what the heated seats were meant for right???

The weather here around the Edmonton area has been nothing short of amazing. Yesterday it was 18 degrees (c). Are ya kidding?! I'm still driving the Z until the snow sets in. When that happens, it'll be parked for the duration. (Usually early April is when we come out of winter for good.)

Dry days - lol I don't think I could swing that here on the Wet Coast. My 240Z is a fair weather only car but its all but irreplaceable. Besides the 370Z won't rust when it gets above .00001% humidity

I'm so happy when i come back from the Olympics, spring will be just around the corner.

On another note. Just passed 9000km on my Z and its going into the dealership for its first set of issues. My climate controls go crazy every once in a while. Seems like it does it when i go through a car wash, thinking its because its so cold outside then the temp inside makes the sensors go nuts. What happends is all the lights on the climate controls go out, it goes full blast heat/fan to the windshield. Cant change it, cant turn it off cant do anything. Happend 2 times so far.

Thats the first issue, second issue is the driver side front speaker is crackling so im going to get them to check everything out and replace it tomorrow.
