Went to redline on 1st and 2nd and was trying 3rd but didn't want a speeding ticket. Almost to 1500 miles (1495 and change).

Haha. I know, it's been odd. Usually we're in triple digits right now, but it's been 80-90, then rain will come in and cool us down to 70.

That's going to come to an abrupt end here soon though, I think.



Gotta love climate change though.

We recently got enough rain to bring Texas out of the "Exceptional Drought" category (worst of 5 categories) for the first time in several years

I saw your article on FB.

And I saw that Houston is flooding too.

Enjoy!


I did clean my windows at the gas station last night, trying to provoke the storm clouds, but they didn't open up to clean off my car.

So now I have clean front and rear windows, but an otherwise dirty car.

I did that on a test drive of a silver Nismo but not mine. Nice long straightaway was almost to redline but then noticed I was doing 100 on a city road.

I need to clean out my garage. Too much crap in it that I don't use. Then I could dry, wax, general detail, and other stuff on the car in the garage.

I can park it in there, but that's about it.

i have two taffyapple bins in there (recycle and trash) but i can still do a full detail on my G and Z in my garage if needed.

but if i didn't have them taffyapple bins in there, that would mean i could keep 2 sets of wheels in my garage. that's how it once was before the village started using them.

I did a similar thing on my test drive. I backed out a little under 90 though. It was on an on ramp to the freeway though.

How do you know if someone else already did that to your nismo?

Anyways, my Z has been dropped off at the shop this morning getting fitted with my amuse rep bumper w/ fresh paint!
