As soon as I got i got home I went and put some 245/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's on front and rear. This made a huge difference. I dont worry about driving my Z anymore in the rain. I would recommend getting rid of the crap tires that came on the car to anyone who will listen. As a added bonus the car sticks and handles a lot better in the dry now too.

just talked to the body shop and they declared it as totalled. Just waiting for the insurance to agree or not...
my poor baby, I am truly depressed about this.
If the insurance declares it as totalled I'll get an Enthusiast instead of a Track this time to save a bit of money and a blue one because 1) way too many silverstone ones out there and 2) way too many people in silver cars crashing lately

That really sucks man! sorry
Good idea on the downgradn models, so u have more $$ for the car mods.
Did you have your TCS off? Thats what i love about AZ roads, not that many potholes or places lil water traps like that can be dangerous.

Will you settle for "insanely cute, but probaly too young and extremely caring"? Hmm... I have a friend that lives in San Francisco, I'll think about coming out to LA, if its going to make you feel better!

Insanely cute works for me and extremely caring is just what the doctor ordered as long as your in the legal age category I am all for it...
PM me if you're coming to LA it would make me feel sooo much better
