I see Vettes and other sports cars equal to the Z cruising around. Makes me feel like a snob knowing that my Z is in the garage. Then again, I think those people have lots of money and don't care about the car.
Yeah but that doesn't solve the tire problem being cold and bumpy.
all seasons or winter tires are always on option for any car

or they only have one car and are forced to drive it yr round.... either way, my 2wd 2 seater isn't all that practical in the summer, no way I am going to going to drive in the winter. I guess consider yourself lucky you don't "need" to drive it yr round and have the ability to store it.

It's funny how I see really expensive cars on the road, but I think it's all relative. It could be their only ride, plus there's no real way to compare a $50k suv to the Z. 
I was telling Tara last night while watching TG that I would sell the Z for a Z06. Or the new Ferrari 458.

Blue vq, I've been stalking...thats how i found your car! Lol
Dave, living out in lk Minnetonka, and EP gives me the firsthand perspective of many things...especially when I ask them....either, total D-bags, lack of valuation, and people who state its because they have "full coverage".
So, don't feel like a snob, feel like a connoisseur, with some damn common sense.
Plus, as for my bud who just totalled his ride.....all I said was,
Son, you know this is a two horse town....hell I have always had a winter car and summer car, since I was 17, its f'ng Mn!
The SHO prob not my best choice! Obviously, but yet again, I have never had Aaron's bragging rights as far as the 2 horse town either...F medicine, I'm going in to farming!

Oh btw I bought me a MR. BEER at home brewery kit today and now starting its formenting. It's going to take awhile (3-4 weeks depending how long I want it to forment, longer is better) but will let everyone know how it tastes. Or whoever wants a sample give a holler! Makes 2 gallons

True dat! Then again, she might not care at that point if I can afford one to include maintenance costs.As for your beer, I'll be over ASAP to taste it.

Trust me, farming is not where you want to be. I'm about 2.5 yrs away from needing your medical services.... seriously. Too much work in a confined time span, then you go to doing absolutely nothing for a few months. Not good for one's mental well-being. Then to top it off, you have a yr like we had in 2010 and you have taken away any financial incentive to do it.
And my services are always pro bono!
Dave, I looked into leasing maserrati...only way to get around maint costs and get hands on ferarri powerplant...FTW

What do you guys think of the Whiteline bushings? I'm thinking of doing the entire front suspension.

used a lot with the evo crowd. they are what are on my car right now..... but it just sounds like you are looking for things to do... Save all those little things up and buy a twin turbo setup
Had solid diff bushing put in, but did not do my others yet.....I am pretty sure that I need to buy my wheel setup and susp needs before I figure out what I am doing completely all around!
Plus Aaron, he cant do THAT, theres a 240 sitting dry in the garage and a wife that allowed room for a Ferarri in the budget!!!!

Aaron, I don't think I'll ever have a TT setup in a Z unless I buy one like yours. I'd rather buy the car with a TT. 
Whoa, there Erik. If she made room for that, then there's something she's not telling me. I want to know who her sugar daddy is...
I think I've given up on autoxing here. It's too long of a day, and the track is too short with not enough driving time. I like the track day at MidAmerica better.
