Some days you just wish you were driving an old clunker. Things might be different
Some days you take off Sport Mode and drop it into 2nd at 60mph and get the arsehole off your arsehole.

Finally some Z action for me

I just called Tire Rack and ordered Potenza RE-11's

265-35-19 and 305-30-19

FYI people - I noticed the price went down last night on the RE-11's, maybe because of the RE-11A's coming in (although they are for smaller sizes)

The 305's were down by $50 each and and $35 for the 265's, so not too shabby, a saving is a savings.

I had an older Camaro v8 (probably an LT1 judging by the body style) this morning take off full throttle right next to me at the light. Not sure if he thought I was going to race or what but that's not really my thing at 7am when I'm heading to the train station to go to work....idiots...

what he was accomplishing:
7am? -Check
Old Camaro? -Check
In a hurry? -Check

He's on his way to the local high school to park his car outside, crank up the stereo with REO Speedwagon blaring, and be old and creepy on HS girls....

Truth! With how loud that exhaust was- I could've skipped my morning coffee. talk about a wake up call.

Oh and to stay on topic- I pulled the SLU fuse this morning. Mines a late 2010 build but would rather be safe than sorry.

Recall is in the process of being issued for the steering lock (links are in some signatures I see going around). But, good that you pulled it anyways.

I saw that. I figured if Rev C was the solution before and still failed, the recall to replace with Rev D may still leave me stranded, especially since Nissan decided that later 2011 - current Zs didn't even need the SLU.

I did take my foot off the accelerator pedal. The idiot tried to get ahead of me with 3 car lengths between my Z and the car ahead of me. I didn't let him.
