Went for a drive to Las Vegas this weekend. Going back today

wrooom..

CDepp · 02-18-2013, 11:26 AM

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.

CDepp · 02-18-2013, 01:39 PM

Drove it to lunch and changed my mind about my previous post.

roy'sz · 02-18-2013, 01:46 PM

That thought never crossed my mind, now that it did, it can keep on going lol.

chrischhorn · 02-18-2013, 01:58 PM

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).

Reminds me of the Cheech and Chong movie "Up In Smoke" when the guys were in TJ and Cheech was trying to find a bathroom in the upholstery factory.

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. ;(
