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.

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.

I was there a few times on businesss about a year or so ago sometimes for a week at a time and didn't see any? We drove around the whole city many time's, hit all the music stores and played some of the guitars, the blues bar, and a lot of other bars and resturants, just about got arrested by about 10 of your best and an undercover (had a young guy with us that got carried away good thing I could talk fast) ..... but no Z's.

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.
