Default I can never drive my Z, ARGH!

This sucks, my second chance to drive the roadster home to see the family and it is going to rain/snow/sleet pretty much the entire 10 days I am there. Mainly rain.

BTW, the weather in Colorado sucks, they pour so much dirt/rocks on the roadways, you would think it's Dirt Track racing. I am just happy my Z is nice and toasty and not getting beat to death by rocks/dirt, and slush, LOL!

HURRY UP SUMMER, I hate seeing the Z in the garage not being driven. Today is Day 12 of it sitting there, hmmm, lets add another 12 more days, ARGH!

One good thing, the Z will be clean, and have the same amount of miles on it when I return, unless the house/cat sitter drives it. (Which reminds me, I better hide, no wait, take the keys with me,

Drove over 4000 miles in the last 2 months, and about to add another 2800 miles. Poor Maxima is getting a workout.

End of Rant!

2 weeks to go till my Z comes out of storage.

Then I get to watch for tire feathering and 2-3 grind. Didn't have any problems yet to date other than a minor problem with the drivers side seat.

Consider yourself lucky. Mine was put away since November. Looking at the snow and rocks on the ground, my baby is not likely to come out till mid March or even April. That’s another @#$ month, or more. Winter sux.

Patience, Grasshopper, patience....

You have a good trip. Think about us when you drive with the top down. It's snowing here again today.
