I am okay, I was just in utter shock of how quickly things went from a little tailspin to a full 180 and smacking the guard rail on wet roads with so much damage. Just glad no one else was hit by it spinning out and I have no minor/major injuries.

I am taking the Z to Thunderhill to race on Monday, leaving Sunday. I have been driving the XKE a few days this week and I am loving the perfect weather.

Applied some Z1 Motorsports corner window stickers. Just about to go and give ol' Blackheart a nice bath and hit her with some black detailer. Lil bit of tire shine and she will be good to go.

Finally having my headlights done tomorrow. Satin black housings, STI-r lens retrofit, 6000k HIDs, angel eyes, and fixing the cut off line
