  • single lane
  • potholes or gravel
  • too many redlights/cops/pedestrians
Unfortunately - that GTR cruise had all of these...

They can convert any car to an unmarked pursuit vehicle. There was a Nismo owner a year or so ago who was talking about doing it to his Z.

Yeah I know. It's kind of cool and scary at the same time, because you never know when/if you might come across it. You might speed up to give the driver a wave or thumbs up and then get pulled over

I guess I'll start keeping a box of Krispy Kreme Fractured Prune donuts in the Z now when I go out for a drive.

So, in other Z news, I got my door card fixed yesterday. It was untucked and drooping. I'm going to have the car detailed tomorrow evening.

I have some serious issues with my clear bra and some paint which rubbed off on that and another body panel. So, here's hoping D&L can work miracles.
