BUT guess what happened!? ....I go to park my car after the night's activities (no, I wasn't drunk when I drove home), and saw that my friend who i dropped off spit on my car door, he greased up my interior, and generally made my car smell bad. (idk why either)
...I almost lost it. I washed off the "residues", but if I don't get my new Z smell back by tomorrow, I'm gonna punch something.

Well hope you were able to clean it up today. I thought you were going to say someone dented your car. Though disgusting that your friend spit on your car, at least you could spray or wipe it off. Just thinking on the positive side

In case anyone was wondering. The 350Z shots taken at Natick mall were taken with a Nikon D80 using a Sigma 10-20 mm lens. Here are a few pics I took while vacationing in California 2 weeks ago.
My GF in 75 degree weather
Flags at Huntington Beach Pier
Huntington Beach from the Pier
A Lamborghini LP640 (if anyone wants a widescreen wallpaper of this shot I made it 1920x1200.)
My Rental Car (Yes I had the top down )

Nahhh I wouldn't laugh. If you have the talent then try for it. But as for the rocks and ice falling off of trucks........ that is one of the reasons why my Z stays in the garage. Before I bought the IS350, I had Lexus put the clear bra on the front to protect against road abrasions. In fact, earlier in December, I large rock that came from a truck bounced on the ground then hit my car. The 3M type material protected my paint. Worth the investment. Something I should have done for my Z when I first got my Z but didn't. Oh well. Guess you learn from these things.

SO GLAD I didn't take the Z. I still haven't actually been able to really see the mall and shop. Whenever I go up there it's been for promotions or castings.

Yeah, I got the 3M put on the Z. Fenders, headlights, hood, side mirrors, but not bumper. Drove the car too long before applying it and the bumper was too pitted for it to be worth it. I'll let the ol' bumper get really sandblasted and repaint it, or get a custom one, then 3M it. Three hours after I got the clear bra, on the way home, a rock hit me on the highway, pierced the bra, and took the paint off of a 3 mm section down to the bare metal. Used some touch up paint and it looks fine. Sucks so badly, but most debris is repelled, so I guess it was worth the money.
