Default Goodbye 350z . . .

Hello, Honda Accord

is anyone else feeling the pain of putting away their Z for the winter and being stuck driving a piece of crap? I have a 90 accord that i bought from some kid for $600 that he obviously felt was race worthy. because he took out all the carpet to make it lighter oh yea and it is spray painted flat black because to him it looked awesome.


counting down the days until it's warm again

It's 25 - 35's here during the midnight and I still drive around.. What's the matter? I even drove my car when it was snowing.. and yes.. it's pretty bad idea.

yea i got my car last february because i didn't believe it could possibly be as bad in the snow as everyone was making it out to be....yup it was lol

so this year its getting tucked away in the garage and the ******* car comes out for a few months. Its been in the low 30s high 20s here the past few weeks and we got our first snow today. Seemed like an appropriate time to put her away.

While the Z is hibernating, i will be lighting the streets up with a 2000 ford focus

the z cant handle with winter driving. especially since i dont have stock wheels. plus the salt is horrible on a car. My focus takes the abuse like a champ!
