What did you pay for it, if I might ask. If it's a 2004 then you ought to have enough money to buy her a 350z of her own.

forever, try telling her you will take her to her favorite restaurant at the end of the drive. That's what I did with my wife; now she is ready to go anytime!

I did a similar thing with my dog. Do you have to scratch her ears too!

Get the PS2s if you can find take-offs (given your connections) or if you can justify their cost over the AVS. They are a fantastic tire.

For a budget tire, get the Falken 452. Mine have last a year now, and I'm estimating 80%+ treadlife.

Granted, I do not do donuts and burnouts every week.

Depends on your weather. You look like you live in a cold place with lots of weather conditions. Get a set of dedicated summer tires and winter tires.

Summer: I am not an expert on current summer tires, so ask ayone else.
Winter: Blizzaks are the way to go
All-season: I got Goodyear Eagle F1s A/S. Great tire.

Interesting.The dealer had no problem selling me a cabin filter.There seems to be conflicting reports as to whether it has or hasn't.The dealer is next door to my work,I'll recheck with them tommorow.Our climate here is actually quite mild,very seldom goes below freezing,very seldom actually snows.it is just going to snow tonight because I got a new carI ithink for tires I will likely get a set of Mich Pilot A/S.Good all around tire,good for hoofing it in the rain

Well I settled for a set of Falken 452s today.Its a rainy slightly snowy day and they stuck like white on rice on my romp home from work.One of my techs has an RSX.He took the michs off of it and changed to these Falkens.He has been very happy with them.I guess I'll see.Was pretty nice not 4 wheel drifting down my driveway when I got home
