I just read like 5 posts of how people like Cali because no ice. Hope the guy/gal is okay.

Edit: just registered it could have been anywhere. Tv show is a national show, not a local news.

Drove to my bros house in Cali...rain most the way. The car looks like crap, but the plus side we installed the m-370. Piece of cake...sounds great cannot wait to drive to LA tomorrow. Tune on Monday

Yeh, forgot to mention it was World News NBC Nightly News. Looked like it was somewhere in the south like the Carolina's...dunno. Maybe bring it up on their website for a replay.

I do like the east coast as there are like 5 times the population and more Z's. Even though Cali is known for being the car capitol of the USA. Seems more Z's are on the east coast though. Weather is great here in Cali, makes owning and maintaining a sports car alot easier and lots of fun roads. No Dragon though.

I've only seen 6-8 different 370's around Charlotte in 3 years(I'm certain there's more). Too many 350's to count.

Yeah, the Dragon is a nice drive. Early up on Saturday, get there by 10 or 11, run the Blue-Ridge Parkway or Dragon for a few hours, get home in time for late dinner.

Found it. It was North Carolina.

Funny, the video only showed the text when I took a screenshot of it.

And tire pressure was not a factor... I was super anal about checking things like that on the car when it was her DD. Now that it's my DD, I generally only make those checks when I work on the car or take an out of town trip. If the tire pressure is low, I can pretty much notice it before I get out of the neighborhood.




too true But I can tell you I'm getting a lot more pleasure out of my Nitto Invos and also getting more than double the mileage.
Honestly, I think it was possibly the quality of the roads. I dunno, maybe just luck.

I know not today but this was Friday night. What normally took a 1 hour and 45 min drive from La Jolla to Valencia ended up as a nasty 4 hours and 15 minute trek. Same road no detaours, just the rains and Friday rush hour. One great thing about the drive back even in stop and go traffic was that every drive under the bridge was an opportunity especially under any steel bridge.

probably get some hate for this, but i plasti-dip'd my ark grip 2 can's today. turned out nice. also, did some research beforehand. apparently our mufflers after some hard runs will only reach about 100-120F. plastidip is safe to 200F so im good there.

Took her out to my favorite curvy road both Saturday and Sunday. I love living 25 minutes away from this.

Nice! Where it is? My parents live in Austin too(near E Parmer Ln?). Maybe next time when I visit my parents I will spot you somewhere or maybe I will drive my dad's Rav4 to the Austin Z meet. Don't hate. Lol.
