Well stated, as always Zman!

By uneventful I mean that I didn't get caught in hail, I didn't run through freshly-applied street paint, I didn't get pulled over and I didn't scrub any curbs! Everything else is assumed to be status quo, which is sweet as Hell!

Gosh it sounds like an eventful morning for many of you. Glad everyone is ok.

Wife is coming back from a 2nd interview with a company in the new job search. Then we are going to the doctor since we're both sick...

So I found out something interesting This weekend. My scion xd weighs 635 lbs less than the z! That's is based on published curb weight. The scion is 2665 lbs, no wonder it feels so light in the corners

ive witnessed a lady get hit j-walking downtown about two decades ago. some guy in a mustang (of all cars) was going maybe 25mph through the busy intersection, he had the right of way... when she got hit, she flew up into the air maybe 4-5ft and ended up hitting the guy's windshield with her head. lady held her head as she rolled off the hood, but appeared to only suffer minor external injuries. the guy was also holding his head confused wtf just happened.
Where are their parents!

woot, my saitech or watever it's called cup-mount for my audio recorder arrived. will modify the mount so that it takes a 1/4" screw as the recorder has a tripod mount on the back side. will isolate the recorder from the mount using a 4mm rubber washer, might add a felt as well, and use batteries instead of plug-in power. got more eneloops (sp?) coming to me this week.

this is my backup audio just in case the 2 mics coming to me fail me yet again on my gopro. lol

Kenchan,

I only edit it to clarify mt point. You can tell by my posts that I am not shy and I don't remove stuff, only add to it..

But again, I am so far off the z trail that I am moderating myself,haha. I will stay on Z cars...And not the other boring crap...

Speaking of Z's. I am anxiously awaiting your Video's...Will they be at the Track, or some street video's, of course on a closed road course, hee,hee..

All this talk of go Pro's and microphones has me waiting..

hey bucket. these vids are more for my personal enjoyment so i dont plan on posting it online. it's just vids of me touring around these rural roads, forests. i sent out a few vids to my pops a few wks ago and he and mom were excited to see the roads they use to drive before retiring long time ago.

my wife also watched it and said 'oh, so that's how it looks like from inside your car' since she's never been in my Z yet. hahaha.

Got it...Glad you still have Mom and Pops around...Cherish the time brother while you can...

Funny my Wife won't get near my Z/28 at all. She has no desire to ride in it..

I want to get a set up before I go Tracking my Z/28...Trying to explain my experience will lack the true feelings of the ride, and will just look like bench racing.. I don't have to beat everyone or win, but just the noise and the power should make for an entertaining video..

Yup, it's as I suspected. Ken-San is a very private individual, and I completely respect that.

I was raised the same way.

When I looked into cars back in the day, I had my hands behind my back, and I NEVER touched the car with my nose or my hands..

You do not touch other people's stuff, or run around on their property...

Well done on raising "small craft advisory/Mini gale". I have hope for the future..
