Really fun!
It was sarah's first time snowboardng and halfway through the day she could already go down he hill on her heels easily. I was really surprised how quickly she learned. Now her knees are all blue though lol.
We should all go one day. Only 45 min away.

I was there at Alpine today (10:30 AM - 1:45 PM) and was skiing on the black hill to the far right. I stopped by briefly around 11:15 AM and did not find you guys. I skied all by myself.
I think I graduated from the beginner level now
You see I have these skis that I bought 3 yrs back and at the time I was a beginner and they are still on beginner settings for the bindings. So, these days the skis come off very easy when I do turns faster, I need to get the bindings changed to intermediate level.
Also, I am going on a ski trip to Copper Mountain, CO in Feb

Is anyone planning on going down to ZdaysZ this year in Fontana? I made it down in 2008 but could not make it last year and would like to make it down for 2010.

What's up guys! Long time no talk!
Really disappointed that Nissan/Infiniti didn't show at NAIAS this year. Oh well, how's everyone's Z's doing? Hibernating I assume?

jeff: There is a thread Phreak started. Look a few posts down.
My poor 370 is at the detailer right now. My girlfriend and I had breakfast Sunday and while we were out, the dog opened a jar of peanut butter she had in her bag and ate it along with a box of chocolates. We took him to play at Canine to Five where he acted like he had never seen another dog before. I dropped her off and put towels in the passenger seat for the dog but before I made it on to northwestern he puked on the edge of the seat and on the floor then decided to climb in to the cargo area to escape the vomit.
They said they have to take the seat out to clean it all up.

that stinks... girlfriend owes you.
Yeah.. I miss driving the Z. ...couple more months... Just trying to save up for stuff.. Haven't been shopping for anything in particular - not until I get some play money set aside.
The VW is still running. I have a loose electrical connection at the taillight. Does anyone know a shop that does good electrical work?
I need this connector.. well.. fixed. The top wire/clips have no spring left and it can lose it's connection and cause my brake lights/turn signals to fail.

BTW: I'm headed back down to Tennessee for business and picking up a hood. I may bring back my Stillen Series I front bumper too.
Here's the hood I'm getting from Jrooy
He also has a Nismo wing available for $200. (Painted in redline)
If someone wants it, make a deal with him and I will be happy to bring it back with me.

I think Spork in Minnesota still has his up for sale. (He might consider shipping now.)
Either that or you could take my Stillen bumper. Sean probably still has a CF hood for sale.

When I have the bucks to build and stroke the engine. Most likely I will want Forged to do it. Sean was right about avoiding other "tuner" shops.
Till I can afford all that, no FI for me. Keep in mind, during the summer, this is my daily driver.

Yeah it sucks......
On a brighter note, I called Injected Performance yesterday and I'm trying to schedule a dyno tune around April/May (before Zdayz of course!)
Also, Sarah and I are thinking of going bowling this weekend, anyone care to join?

Nice! When do we get to start modding your 370Z? You and Jess coming down for ZdayZ? (Don't say no! Cancel your other plans!! If you liked the run to Hell, MI ... you're going to wet your pants down there.)
