Basic things like breathing. And body tenseness. Being mindful of these things is important as is the nutrition-hydration-resting prior to. Gawd. I broke EVERY freaking rule!!!!! Sigh.

A week or so ago my VDC turned itself off mid turn, due to half a reservoir of brake fluid. Keep this filled up to Max.

Oddly I have turned VDC off manually every day since. I usually just leave it on but I forgot how much more alive the car is when off.

On a totally different topic of driving. I have always wanted to have a garage like Jay Leno. Well that is not happening in such a fancy way.

On Monday I bought a building which has the ability to open a truck door on the west side and drive through the east side truck door. What this means is that I can own a truck trailer and race car to put on top of the trailer and store them indoors. By buying the building I have no money for said items but mentally it is a cool feeling.

The building is an old POS but it suits me.

Can you see my 370Z? My building is the one with the trailer in back. 6,000 commercial square feet. I don't have a clue what else I'll do with it but a slot car track comes to mind.

Keep in mind that, barring leaks, the main reason the fluid reservoir level drops is because your pads are wearing down. If you top off the fluid, then later take out the worn down pads and replace them will new ones, pushing the pistons back in to fit the new pads will overflow the fluid in the reservoir. So you might have to suck some out first (or just take the opportunity to bleed the calipers a bit first).

Yesterday on the way home I was behind a slower Jag. Moments later a Z4 came up behind. I had hopes of the Jag pulling over and letting me and the BMW go. The Jag sped up a little and when I looked back the Z4 was falling off. I was disappointed. The Jag did turn off and I had a minute alone.
