Nice car! I remember driving something similar in the UK, but the wheel was on the other side.

Nice winter beater Andrew. I had to drive my Z to work today. There was construction on the interstate. I had cones on both sides of me. There was a huge dirt clump or something it was dark. I hit it and felt it. Car sounded and drove fine. Then when I was sitting a a stop light I could hear a vibration and when I got into the higher rpm's I could tell the exhaust sounded different. Something is ****ed up. I have to get the car in the air so I can see what's wrong with the exhaust. Moral of the story DD your Z sucks.

Good to have you at the house and know that you had a decent night of sleep before your trip back.
