Based on the other thread, I'm going to re-try left foot braking today on the way home from work. WISH ME LUCK!!!

EDIT:
I can drive safely through the worst of conditions, as my previous posts here show. I'm more wary of left-foot braking than I am of black ice and sleet/ice/snow conditions on bald tires.

I tried PSS a/s on the Z. Still a toboggan. I think I'd stick with regular braking till spring!!!!

Got on to the freeway today on my way to a Shell gas station with 1/4 tank of gas...on ramp was a right-hander...spent an hour on the side of the freeway waiting for my girlfriend to rescue me with a gas tank...#fuelstarve (I don't have Twitter or even a smartphone. I just wanted to hashtag something)

Z got a wash, clay, and wax this afternoon. I even attacked some scratches by hand after the clay bar - they didn't come out completely but definitely look better. I think I can get them out completely with proper materials. I only used a polishing pad and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, so I will use a compound pad and the rubbing compound first next time before following up with the polishing compound using a polishing pad (maybe borrow a friend's random orbital, too).

Threw my back out mid tint of my tail lights. Had to drive my wifes automatic, meaning she drove the Z. Tank was on empty and she filled it up...with regular unleaded. Love her to death, but my heart sank when she told me that. No knocks or pings yet. Have to baby it till I can dump that fuel. I'm still crying. ;(
