What did you do with your Z today

kenchan · 09-09-2011, 08:16 AM

Gotz a tracking no for the jnext. My buddy got it much earlier than expected and knowing I'm wrapping things up over here he shipped it instead of handcarrying it over mid-oct.

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.

Going through withdrawal. Haven't driven the Z in 8 days - been driving the Altima. Drove it today, missed rowing through the gears and stomping on the go pedal.

kenchan · 09-09-2011, 09:37 AM

G2Z- JNext makes these mini fender trims painted or non-painted. I always thought the z looks good with decent offset on the front when looked at from the back but it sticks out too much when looked at from the front. So going to give these a shot and see how far out I can push the weds. My goal is landing at ET24. Weds recently released a 19x9.5 ET24 so I'm wanting to get those next. (Mine are 19x9)

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!

got a ticket for 80 in a 65. thats the second ticket in 2 months on the same road about the same place and about the same speed. These guys are getting smart about it. I never saw the cop this time and my radar never went off....

this is why i dont speed

FromG2Z · 09-09-2011, 10:57 AM

^ how is that possible? The only way to get a ticket without your radar going off (even if you are "caught", it should still go off, that you were detected), is to get a camera ticket in the mail. Maybe you need a new detector?!?!?!

onzedge · 09-09-2011, 11:13 AM

The last speeding ticket I got, my radar emitted a single beep and then silence. I was headed North on 99 just south of Yuba City, early in the morning, and the CHP was coming in the opposite direction. As soon as he passed I saw his brakelights come on in my rearview and he whipped a U-turn.

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.
