Default Removing unnecessary parts from vehicle - good!

damn after reading what some people do to save some weight on their cars, i decided to take off the spare tire and all those tools in the trunk
hot baby the car feels so different, i dont know if i was hallucinating, but it felt so much lighter, though that may be exaggeration since its only like what <50 lbs for the tire?

but at the time i felt as if i was RICKDOGG and that my car was as tuned and lightened as his
btw this was on the way of going to a shop to order a TP for my Z, looks like im also going to be stripping some more unnecessary stuff and it wasnt a ghetto brand either, i do not support replicas
the shop did try to convince me to buy a MEGAN TP and damn i had to use this site as a reference "but my350z.com guys said megan tp crack?"
so i ended up getting a strup one for a little more, which is worth the money to support our 350z community

all hail RICK

keep no more than a 1/4 tank of gas all the time to save at least 90 lbs.

Not a good idea to ditch your spare if your going far away from your house. I got a flat and had to use my spare to get to the shop
