Mid Atlantic had high 60's where I am, with a sunny sky. Went for a drive down state. Getting cold again over the week.

I'm on the fence about getting my '13 Rays powder coated in dark graphite. Like the '14 GTR or Lexus LFA wheels.

I didn't know that rolling my window down a tad to enjoy my warmed up exhaust in fake manual mode (higher revs) = me wanting to race the 328i next to me. Talk about a shitty driver.....

Enjoyed my 104 mile round trip today in my Nismo to work. Get to do it again tomorrow. Puts a smile on my face every time. It can be a rough day, but wait till the day is done and on my way home. It all get's washed away.

I wouldn't be so upset about it if he didn't almost hit me or cause me to hit him twice. First time he cuts into my lane and proceeds to brake quickly. Second time, he turns right into the outside lane, I turn into the inside lane and am passing him and he decides he wants to try to swerve over into my lane when I'm next to him.

Took the Mrs to lunch in Waikiki today. While at a red light, a tourist with a big expensive looking camera points it at the Z and starts taking pictures as we pull away on the green light. I didn't see him as he was on the passenger side, but my wife did and says to me, "oh my God, I can't believe someone just did that". We then pull up to the valet and he tells me, "wow nice car sir, you must be doing something right with your life".

Life's good in a 13 Z
