My Z turned me on today. Hey jojo, PM me if you want to go for a cruise tomorrow - i don't know where but if the sun is shining like it has for 2 days, I'm taking mine out for a thrashing. Meeting some ZROC people at the Bob Evans at Crosswoods for breakfast at 9:00 and then have the entire day to waste. Even gave it a quick wash today - added 10 RWHP, lol

Decided to drive mine to work this morning. Got about 2 blocks and noticed the car started pulling to the right. My right front tire was going flat. 5:30 in the morniing, got it home, took the wifes car to work. This evening I put my Axis wheels on and took a drive. When backing out of my garage I got stuck on the ice when the traction control killed the throttle. I turned the TC off and backed up. A little later I pulled out of a Wendy's a little hard on the gas. went sideways, opps, left the traction control off.

For the amount of money we (most states anyway) pay in road/misc taxes, there is NO excuse for holes that would cause damage like that.

Seriously, there is a "bump" that has been in place for a year now on a fairly traveled road near me, I hit it every time I go to work. Even trucks and SUVs slow down for it. The DOT of NY had a plan..........no no, not to fix it, but to place an orange sign that says "bump".

My Z is in storage, but i go start her up every now and then. Dont dare take it out yet with all the salt on the roads up here in Minnesota. Hopefully soon though. We have some potholes, but dont think any where near as bad as you Ohio ppl are saying. Plenty of speed bumps though

This winter has been rough on my Z . The roads around here are so freaking shitty, and the winter did not help. I hit one "pothole" that was at least 3" deep on the highway and took up the entire lane, followed by several others.

Mines been in its cave since the end of November. With the thrashing that NY and NJ roads have taken, may cause me to keep it in hibernation till the end of April. Enjoy yourself this weekend northeast : )!

roads were dry all weekend in Cbus, not as warm as I'd like, but enough to kick the tires and light the fires

I "lit the fires" yesterday and the damn car went into Limp Mode. Fortunately only a couple miles from my business so had it flatbedded back there (thanks AAA!) and will go out today and run the code to see what is up. Ruined a perfectly good weekend though.
