Who said it was done? We come out despite the cold! There's a close bunch of us who are troopers to the bitter end. If you aren't peeved by the cold, come to the meets. The only difference is that we don't stay too late.

Thanks everyone. I just want to give a HUGE shoutout to Mike and Ray for all of their help recently and making this possible. Major props to Mike for giving me his car for a few hours to get some practice on, and coming with me to pick up my car. He was the first person to ever drive my 370Z. Even before me. Hahaha.
And big thanks to Ray for coming through at the last minute, removing my mods in record time, and not jipping me. Dude wasn't feeling 100%, but he helped me out, regardless. Also, thanks to all the guys who bought my mods. Hehehe.
I just came back from a 120 mile drive and had a blast. I went to my girlfriend's house, and then to my brother's house. I stalled it once at the very, very beginning (I got nervous when a car pulled up my f-ing ***), but I fired it right back up and took off. Didn't stall again after that. What I learned is that revs are very important and that I shouldn't be too worried about feeding into the throttle. 2K RPMs gives the car healthy momentum forward as the RPMs begin to drop, and then I can keep the clutch at the grab, feed some more throttle and let off.
Since I have the synchro rev-match, bucking on shifts is non-existent here (only if you shift too quick at a slow speed). This 120 mile drive really helped me familiarize myself with the car. Both of the neighborhoods I was at have a ton of stop signs so I got some solid practice in. Woo!

Oh, and I can't forget a MASSIVE thank you to UMW350Z. He provided me with a Nissan VPP code that saved me $1500 OFF of invoice. Incredible savings.
