our community was lucky enough to stop the village from connecting our side street to the adjacent 4lane road so we dont have people cutting through our neighborhood...well, usually. they come and find it's a deadend and u-turn back. i stare at them with a look.
+1 for the stinkeye!

Then we did some shopping at the mall...got stopped by an older man in his 50s in the best buy parking lot as I was removing bugs lol. He commented on my z and asked if I loved my car Hehe. He wanted to test drive one.

After that, I kenchaned the z to the local dealership. I saw a gunmetal z in person finally, at least I think it was. It's pretty in person, tho i must admit I love my pearl White more. anyways I was looking at the sticker... It was a base too...with sport, but I think prices went up since my 2010??? Regardless, it was a fun date overall.


Look tastey!!!

Thanks bro, we gotta polish your whip up next, this wax would look so good on your car, it's meant for darker paints. Hows the exhaust sounding?

My wife and I went and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton last evening in Orlando, and while the resort was nice I was quite surprised when the valet brought me my car. Even though I know those guys valet Mercs and BMWs as well as many other (and more expensive) fine cars all day long he took the time to compliment my Z! It never gets old hearing someone say "that's a really nice vehicle, sir!" I can do without the sir bit...but whatev.

I know what you guys are thinking "I would never valet my car". Well, I generally don't, but this place was a real class act. I also paid the guy well to take care of her for me.

I retired my Z from DD duty and picked up a new Altima.

Z is now a weekend car.
