That's nuts. I see so many Vettes still driving. Even saw an old hotrod on the weekend. I'm sure I'll see more this weekend. You're coming home to decent weather.
I'll try to be the hookup for JDM parts for you guys.
Thanks, man. I'll be there for 2 years.

Alex, I've never seen anything like those. For 31 Bens, I don't think it's worth it.
As for Japan, I'm going to learn Italian.
Figure if I become fluent in the next 2 years, I might get a transfer to Italy.

Yeah, I'm not buying that 'science.'
So I'm pretty good at math and just looked at Brandon's math test results from class. His teacher dinged him for the following:
five tenths = .5
He wrote five tenths = .50
Now here's a good one. On another sheet, a question asks about 5 tenths of a dollar. Answer is $.50
He got dinged for writing .50 for the five tenths question. I see a contradiction. What gives?
In my higher math world, .5 is the same as .50 because the zero doesn't mean anything in math world. Do you disagree?
.5 is half of 1.00
.50 is half of 1.00
zero means nothing after the decimal

.5 is .50. The extra 0 wouldn't matter in any future situation. Sounds like his teacher felt like being a dbag. 
I don't see how fender braces can help at all unless you have CF doors or something else to sacrifice some side body rigidity.
Dave, italian is cool! It'd be awesome

.5 is five tenths
.50 is 50 hundredths
I guess that's what she was getting at. Maybe I am dumb....or I had too much legalese today. Yeah, that's the ticket.

BTW Alex, I think there is also a DIY write up on this forum on how to install them. I guess the biggest issue with them is that it will require drilling which is no thing but just so you know
here it is https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...s-install.html
