Be sure to post on the scratched wheel woes thread with your results my friend!

Man, I missed your results. I have to go find them now...

It was just more "raw", which I love.

Chalk one up for the Z.

I really like that body car! I think it may be my favorite sport sedan. My brother says the S is a whole different animal behind the wheel. He is a big VW Audi guy.

I think a lot of us have been slammed!!! Happy Friday everyone. I have some downtime planned but I do have some work to do on a BMW motorcycle this weekend.

BACK TO THE Z SIDE!!

Assuming that you would leave us behind...you would be sorely missed on the boards. I know, I know..go ahead...you guys can begin the flaming! Here, I'll even get you started!

That comment of mine was

haha... thanks Happy. Yeah, the A5 was just too "soft". Our Z's are loud and rough... and fact is, I LOVE that aspect of our Z's... The "raw-ness". I think you guys know what I mean. If I explained this to a non Z owner, they wouldn't get it.

It's a sport coupe, not sedan

Yeah if I were to replace my Z with something with a back seat, it will have only 2 doors

That's a must for me. But yeah, the A5 looked great, but still love my Z way better. Only cars I think that "might" replace it would be an M3 (used), a Stang shelby (used), a Stang 5.0 new (let the flames begin), a G37 vert used, and that's about it.

Now about the quote regarding the week, yes, it's been a long and difficult week. I am ready for this day to be over. Buddy is visiting us this weekend, so I'll be giving him a ride in the Z. Haven't seen him in close to a year.

Embrace those feelings. Celebrate them. Live in them. Let them flow and thrive.

I don't hate them, but the guys that drive them often times are asshats and think they are the fastest thing on the road. I had a guy pass me last week in one and he looked over like he wanted me to run him and I just laughed and shook my head... so he takes off and VERY slowly gets down the road. I looked over at my Fiancee and said "is that really all that car has?"

Neither of us were impressed.

After all the paperwork was complete I asked him how he got me. He explained that they run around with their radar in passive, stand-by mode and that, with a single push of a button, can get an instant read on your speed.

The 9500ix is still a great unit and has saved me on many occasions.

Yeah I guess our detectors aren't fool proof, but usually when I hear a beep, I slow down. False beeps have virtually been eliminated on my route.

Have fun this weekend and remember my motto... "No tickets and not body damage!"

Had my first experience with a "camera ticket" a couple of weeks ago.

It was in my name but it was my son's car. They had stills printed on the letter of him making a right turn on red without the "stop" part. They also had a great quality video online to view with laser verified speed posted in the corner. There was no doubt he was guilty. In our area, it cost him $50 and no ding on your license or insurance. You could fight it if you want but he would have lost.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... I hate that I can't own a radar detector!!!

haha thanks Beach. We'll be safe. Yeah I forget Virginia doesn't allow detectors eh. But they only if you get caught with one??? What's the fine??? lol...

Yah, work has been pretty crazy, at home working on music gear setup, kids started school, etc. I'm going to be pulling out the camera when I stall the trims.

Tgif Mr.onzedge!
