Today was the first time I got pulled over in my Z. While getting onto Hwy 100 here in Cedar Rapids, got on it a bit. Got pulled over by from what I believe to be a detective. He had on a coat and tie and was wearing his badge on his belt. Asked for my license, checked me out, and because I had a clean record just gave me a warning. Told me to try and not squeal the tires too much. He did compliment me and said the car looked really nice. Did mention that it would be hard not to get on it once in awhile with my car. I thanked him and went on my way.

The Plasti Dip is great. It has a textured look though. Im not sure how you would feel about the emblems being textured. I personally prob wouldnt mind it. It looks great on my fangs, has a real factory look to it. I say paint em Ken, worst comes to worst you can just peel the Plasti Dip off

The claims adjuster is evaluating my car monday. Im prob gonna stop by a shop tomorrow for a quick estimate. Going on vacation week after next and taking my z so she prob wont be fixed till the begining of sept. Damage is very slight but those little imperfections are killing me. Im really amazed how well it took the impact.

Steve you gotta take it easy there buddy


So today we went to a big local meet... met up with 3 Z's, along with other buddies. There were quite a few cars there. Good turnout.

Also found a good pic opportunity, and able to show you guys my new tint.

good to hear things are scheduled and ready to move forward as soon as you're back. yah, that would kill me too. hahaha.. i remember one time my hobby car long time ago got hit by a shopping cart on a windy day. i tried fixing the ding with all sorts of improper tools.. was up all night pissed off.

next morning i went to the PDR place and within 15 min the guy pushed out the ding and told me i shouldn't have touched the ding cause it distorted the metal and made it that much harder to fix. that's when i decided to take PDR training and buy about $1.5K worth of tools. with the amount of dings i fixed the tools and training paid itself off very quickly. even a ding would keep me up at night on my fun car... can't imaging wat a deer scuff would do. hahahaha.

G2Z- nice shot!! i think you're back in business. hahaha.

thanks Ken! Not sure if I should invest into PDR and training yet. I would love to! But I think the wife thinks I have enough "hobbies" already

thanks for props on photo. Did you see the C6 photo in the DSLR thread? That might be my fave not-my-own shot.... hehe

Today, no Z action... rain today. Been nice all week I guess it's time for some rain...

Yep, rain here too. No roadster action for me. I did drive the Z32TT though. I need to get a POS daily driver. Actually, my son leaves for school in two weeks and can't take his Civic. I may be driving it on days like today. Best it doesn't sit anyway.

Tint looks great g2z!

Thanks Beach...coming from you, it means a lot.

Yes, a POS is a must... even $1000 beater is just fine. Never washed, just change oil. I had that once...a 1993 Ford Ranger rust bucket. Started EVERYtime. Twas awesome.

yah, one would need to be pretty determined to get PDR right. it's not for everone and would need fine motor skills yet lots of forehand strength to push at the exact location under complete control. i stopped doing it on a regular basis ever since getting back to playing piano cause it screwed up my playing at times due to tense muscles. lol

will check out the C6 picts later on. been in my music room all night last night fiddling around with a new music software i installed on my new MBP.


beach - civic is perfect for dd!

i hate taking my G to kid's camp and picking them up afterhours.
worst is having to stop by the supermarket on the way home to pickup something... clean cars are like invitation to get keyed.

Got home Last night from taking a trip to Mammoth Mtn. Finally got pulled over by CHP on the way up. I was ONLY doing 80 in a 65. And i talked him into only giving me a tint ticket...it was my lucky day. Good trip...I recommend stopping by the Mammoth Brewing Co. Fishing sucked while I was there though

^ nice pics and nice backdrop man... I am envious. All we have here are corn fields, and a few hills.
