I wish I could put my Z back in the garage. It used to get that spot. When we bought an Escalade about a year ago, wifey wanted the truck in the garage (she drives it WAY more than I do). But you know what, after taking forever to wash that thing (I actually do like the truck more than I thought I would) I'm now ok with the Z outside. I can clean the Z in half the time.

Besides, no way would I put my Z in our garage w/ the truck. Not trying to get door dings when she swings those bad boys open. It kills me that builders pass off these garages as 2-car. More like 1.5. In the end, it's really my fault for not paying close attention to the dimensions on the plans.

The garage cleaning was one of the best things about getting the Z. The habitually messy garage has only been that way once since I got the Z. A 350Z in a messy garage looks really trashy.

i tore down my neighbor's house before i brought my Z home so the Z wouldn't have to look upon my neighbor's ugliness. i also don't let ugly chicks get near my car.

The worst part for me is getting the strange looks by others, sometimes the police. Since I am only 17, people probably think I am spoiled by my parents.

The worst part for me is even after I paid off my Z, I still pay for it (modify it), and I don't know how long will it take for me to stop doing that.

True but if you have door dings or even a minor scratch you can notice it from a mile away.

Garage floor sealant.

I know it is kind of off topic just want some responses. Any of you ever put that speckled garage floor sealant on you concrete floor in your garage? I was in Home Depot today looking at it and I thing I may change the sheets on the bed for my G. Not sure of the benefits of it but makes the garage floor look nice when the G’s parked inside.

Here is a link of the product: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=16

Any experiences with this product or another like it? Is it difficult to put down? Any tips?

Sorry for the off topic! I just need a quick repose because this may be a Sunday project today.

Thanks for your help!

+1. There are so many out there in South Florida that you want yours to look a little different.. then the MOD's come in. And once you start, it never ends.

About my garage... I rather leave my 1985 fully stock Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE in it... I have my reasons.
