I'm 'notsig11' GT5 is really pissing me off though. "A connection to the server could not be established." So I have to disable my PS3 internet connection to play single player.

That and I can't figure out how to mount my wheel so I can use it comfortably. :/

If you act fast you can pick up a set for $1000 shipped.

I had mine done locally in Romulus by Exotic Coatings.

http://www.exoticcoatings.com/contactus.html





I had him do an unusual color. Metallic Slate grey with an Aurora Borealis effect which changes color at different angles. He charged $100 per wheel for this color and wheel size. Fronts in 20x9 and rears in 20x10.

So what did everyone get for Christmas? Anything cool?

Serious question here: My wife and daughter got me a Nissan jacket that I honestly do not like. They were quite proud of their find and probably expect me to wear it. To me, this seems a bit over the top. Any advice on what I should do? They bought it off eBay so there is no return.



Any suggestions? Paper bag over head?

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

Hope you guys aren't getting too much snow. Its about 70 degrees here in Phoenix and I've been out running every day

Sarah ended up getting me a manfrotto tripod since I just got a canon t2i dslr and am trying to get into photography. So we should be able to have some awesome photoshoots next year

Brian I'd rock that jacket to a car show to make them happy.

@Brian - Haha, are you sure you are not trying to sell it ... but seriously you should be able to sell it on the forum here. I am sure there must be someone who likes their Z so much that they want to wear a jacket.

@Rob - Manfrotto, huh. Those are awesome tripods. I bought a Manfrotto after 8-9 yrs of buying cheapie tripods. You are starting with a bang! Which one did you get?

Reminds me of a That 70's Show episode where Steven Hide got a sweater with his name 'Steven' sewn on the front. Foreman (his father figure) told him it was just part of being a man, and he had to wear it.

With no return option.. sorry man.

I got the ZSpeed undertray. Uncertain what to buy with the cash..

If I'm thinking of the same thing, the ZSpeed undertray has the huge door to get at the oil filter and drain plug? How do you like it?



That coat reminds me of the guys wearing the corvette coats with the big vette symbol on the back, not a good look. That coat is like the 8-ball jacket, but tailored for the Z-community..... but since it's a family gift I'd say you're stuck making a couple of appearances in it!!!
