How good/cool/blurry would Jaedub's picture be if the speedodometer was pointing to 120 - 130 instead of Zero miles per hour.

Here is So. Cal. - S.D. to be more map friendly, There is aa nice twisty road called Highland Valley Road. After a morning wash, First the Z, then Me... a fill up, I was all Z'd up and ready to go. Grabbed my wife and off we went. Up the hill, First gear, then Second, then Third, down shift again into second, a hard right, then a left, and left again, 13 + miles of 2nd, 3rd, and only sometimes 4th gears. Put the Z throught its paces, and we both loved it. Had a good burger in Romona, which is at the top of the grade, then back down the hill for 13 more miles of the same on the way to home.

You know, that Nissan 370Z likes to corner and corners very well. What did you guys do?

There are some good back county roads east of San Diego that are just filled with twists and turns, like Wild Cat Canyon or Bear Valley and Highland Valley. I now get to drive them in the Z and the Harley - still deciding which is more fun.

It's actually the opposite (0 mpg) because the engine is started and using gas without gaining any distance!

Waiting for the rain :-) Don't see any clouds yet, but... She got washed, polished, and waxed first... then new wiper blades installed today. And summertime in Florida means it rains everyday (inevitable). So be it!

Finally installed my 2-piece Racing Brake rotors, with some help from my boys. Getting ready for a track day at big Willow Springs.
