HI Guys,

The Z is hibernating in the garage for winter. But the Jeep goes through the snow like nothing! I been moding it out! I put a off road bumper, winch, on board air system on it, now I can air down my tires for better traction off road & air them back up, & even run air tools off my Jeep! How sick is that! I put light guards on it. & I made some removable tailgate storage. & I made my own grab handles.
A lift kit is next.

 

Nice Jeep Craig!!

Omg guys I saw a dumba$$ silver G35 driver last night on 275 on the way back from the club around 2 am. I could tell he was drunk cuz he was swerving back and forth in his lane. He would speed up and then slow down. So I kept my distance.

Then at the Michigan ave exit he almost missed the exit so he tried to quickly shoot over but hit a huge patch of snow and spun out. I thought he was gonna go into the grass spinning but stopped pretty quickly. Anyways, thought about calling the cops but I was like whatever, I didn't want to deal with it since after he came to a stop he tried to drive off really quickly.

Drunk driver = dumbass.

 

Hey Rob did you take those pics yet?

 

oh yeah, i'll do that tonight lol.

Btw, kinda last minute. But anybody up for going skiing / snowboarding this weekend? I've got Monday off (MLK day) so thinking either sat or sunday. Somewhere local, maybe alpine valley for some easy stuff since I haven't done it in a while and I'm trying to teach Sarah how to snowboard (that'll be interesting haha)

 

Rob, I am open to go to Ski this weekend. Holly is one place I haven't been to so far, I am open to either places. LMK

 

Hey Deepu, looks like we're gonna go to Alpine Valley on Sat. Probably get there at 9am right when it opens and snowboard until about 4 pm. Your wife going too? You gonna board or ski?

 

Alright then, I will try to be at Alpine next Saturday. Will give you a call. I ski and don't know how to board. Infact I learnt to ski only a few seasons back, but I like it a lot. I am planning to go to Colorado this year. My wife can't ski so she will not be there

 

my gf and i were talking just the other day about skiing. i'm no good, but i have a blast. she's never been before, and i'm trying to talk her into it. i think she'll give it a try.

we have plans this weekend - have fun. i'll let everyone know when we plan to head out.... the more the merrier!

 

Saturday the 16th at 9am at Alpine? Sounds good to me. I'm 80% sure I can attend.

 

Yea sounds great, Rob bring me my c-west side skirts i can use those as skis. lol JK..

 

Craig, as always great looking truck man. You always modify EVERYTHING.

Damn

I LOVE skiing, I would love to come out with you guys. I could help teach you Scott I have been skiing for about 13-14 years now. I can hold my own we will say.
My parents are coming into town this weekend, so I will not be able to attend but would love to go some other time.

P.S. the 370 is better in the snow then the 350...no real clue why actually...

 

I swear it's the new nannies. They were supposed to have put a lot of work into the new VDC.

 

HAHAH no way its that
I have to shut the VDC off the second I get in it.
It cuts in WAY to quickly in the snow...

I do like how much it lets you go before it kicks in in good weather though.
Once the thermostat hits "ICY" though man it kicks in ALL the time.

 

theres a young kid at my college that drives his NISMO 370z in the winter..on advan race tires.


kind of annoys me because apparently he doesnt even know he owns a "rare" car. all he keeps telling people is "its the most fully loaded 370z at the dealership"...must be NICE.

 

^ I really hate hearing stories like that! Going to college and still no brains.

 

That sucks...
Kid had his parents buy it because it was the most loaded one...

Sadly thats whythe Nismo has a bad rep among car guys because the "boy racer" guys who get them. Advans in the snow I bet he just takes another car or waits it out...

The Bridgestones are bad on my sport I cannot IMAGINE the Advans...

 

I'm going to have to pass on the Saturday Skiing. The wife is attending an all day scrapbooking thing and the daughter has various things to attend.

So my 80% sure shrank to 0%. Sorry guys! Take pics or video!

 

"the most fully loaded Z at the dealership"

Wow you would think people who purchase a Nismo would realize and appreciate why they are spending the extra money. I guess when it's probably his parent's money he doesn't care.

 

Stupid parents. As a parent of a teenager, I've already informed her that her first car will be equally fast, sporty and good looking as my first car.

(I bought my first car for $326. A naturally rust colored 1973 Lincoln Mark IV.)

 

My first car was a 1996 Toyota 4Runner, and I still own it 14 years later

btw, we're still planning on going snowboarding tmrw if whoever wants to go. Just look for us on the bunny hill
