Hope you like that 5 minute stop light on Hwy 1. It is part of my daily commute. It is the second time they have placed it there. Should be removed by June.

If you are making that drive again I'd love to drive along in my silver Z and make folks see double.
It took almost 5 hrs, because I was sightseeing.

I really need to upgrade the sway bars, springs and maybe tires on my Base Z - it was definitely not holding up well during spirited driving, it felt a little soft and the steering wasn't tight/precise.

How do you like your setup? any suggestion for me?

I love my set up. I would replicate it if anything happened to this Z. I would like to be lower at the track but the public roads around here will not allow for it.

I am about to do brakes but you do not need them around here. The stock set up is fine.

Followed a white nismo on 101 south in Santa rosa, the lady probably thought I was being a **** following so close but I was jus trying to see the exhaust.

I was in my blacked out Z on gold rims

We were in the middle lane and a 350 vert blew by in the carpool

Saw a black nismo on Washington in Fremont. Black is so sexy especially on nice sunny day like today.

I saw a Bright Silver 370 heading west on the Dumbarton Bridge at 8:15 this morning. I waved, but I was in a Jetta. I understand why I was ignored.

Yep, that was me. I didn't notice any other 370z at the time. I must have been half asleep.
