Default I miss my car!!

It's got to that stage of winter where not only do I miss good weather but I really miss my Z. The only good thing that comes from winter is the fact that every spring I get excited to pull my car out of the garage from storage. At that stage it makes it feel like a new car again.

Still there is at least 2 months to go before I dare take it out of the garage and put insurance back on it.

How many of you guys are going as nuts as I am?

Here's a shot of my Z tucked away in my garage of course right now its got a cover though.

+1 haha. it's that time of the winter where the winter blues are in full swing. It's just so painful seeing the car sitting there doing nothing...

Haha, they're cheaper and more convient that than finding bricks/wood to park on.

I guess i dunno if you move your car around winter or not, but parking a car for months can cause flat spots on your tires. I have these stockers sitting around, so I might as well make use of them :P

I didn't get flat spots at all last year. I just put a bit more pressure in the tires. I have plastic lined beneath my car to prevent moisture coming up and I have a cover on it.

I'm also missing the Z. It was stored due to military commitments October 4th. I have more military commitments extending from mid April until Mid May, so the Z probably won't see the road at all until May 24 long weekend. That's 7 and a half long months of no Z for me!
Oh well, I saw a busted *** chrome silver 350Z driving around town the other day, with shitty paint and I was like, oh well, it could be worse, I could be that guy with shitty paint.

there are a lot of Z's in the dfw area. most of them unfortunately are your non enthusiasts. and sadly out of the so called enthusiasts maybe a quarter of them are actually that, very sad really. i know texas is second only to california when it comes to the amount of Z's on the road.

I did see lots, I mean LOTS of pick ups with gun racks LOL.

I think Pick ups must out number cars 3-1 or more and most of the cars I saw were rentals.
