Wash, clay bar, compound, swirl remover, polish and wax today. Six hours later and it's time for a glass of wine! But the Z looks better than the day I picked it up. I was reading the freeway signs upside down on the hood as I was driving home.

Caused an accident lol
I'm so mad that my blackberry was in the hatch in my bag or I would have taken pics Some guy on a bike was riding by as I paked my car. I'm usually pretty aware of people checking out the Z...and he had a full on lock stare going on...he totally ran into a pedestrian lol. I only laugh cause no one was hurt...the guy dusted himself off but wasn't too happy with the biker...good times lol.

Good morning, everyone.
Today, I drove the 370 to my office to get a feel for my Swift springs. I drive against commute so I was able to test out some quick lane changes and off ramp action. Of course I stayed below all posted speed limits and always used my turn signals. Although a bit of a lame test, being commuting and all, I can report the following. 1. Ride quality is a bit bumpier, but that could be my imagination. 2. Turn-in is much more sharp and crisp 3. Lane changes and off-ramp driving are much flatter. More later... Have an excellent day.

no z action for me today. drove the G with factory wheels and snow tires on. feels soft and squirm is very noticable. but i suppose for a dd the softer ride is welcome. just feels more like an ordinary sports coupe now. visually no one at the office mentioned i got different wheels on so i suppose it looks ok. lol |

My Stillen cat back didnt sound as loud as I thought it would at all. Thats what made me get test pipes as fast as I could. They REALLY opened the exhaust sound up.
