So it was rather cold today so I cleaned up this massively rusty piece... Might be good for some por 15... Might sandblast it... We will see, cleaned up better than I thought it would.
Also faced the fact that my calipers are fuŠked so I got me a sweet replica... Couldn't beet the price honestly.

Sadly the one actually on my car doesn't look any better. Im playing with the idea of swapping the engine cradle front subframe and that under brace out at some point also... I have years of projects going on over here.

Seeing it in person completely changed how I feel. It is not justified by pictures. It is a completely different car when you share the same space with it and can really gauge it's details and propotions.

I felt the same exact way. I was never a fan from the videos and pictures. All I ever liked was the active-aero....

I'm sure it's such a high tech, high performance car, but looks like it's from the "Jetsons". *I'd take the F12, one of the fastest all engine (V12) cars in the world and they are beautiful; there is one (all black) in my town that I've seen a couple of times.

Beautiful cars though...
Segue.... I have absolutely no desire to own ANY NEW cars though. I hate being intruded upon when I drive, instead trusting my own abilities and instincts.
Case in point, just had a rental vehicle while my wife's car was being repaired (from the impact it took from my Shiro). The back-up cam feature is nice but I did NOT like being vibrated in the butt (seriously) when the vehicle proximity feature kicked on!! (You know, the "Hey dumshid, yer too close to...")
Likewise, automatic braking in emergencies... wake up alerts for when lane drifting... and so on..... great safety features I guess but...
What happened to "driving intelligently"??

"What happened to "driving intelligently"??"
have you not stepped outside lately? read the news? watched tv? listen to the radio?
intelligence is quickly becoming an endangered trait in humanity
(and i got proof- 30 years of 911 call taking- i can chart the steady decline with a base line from 1987....)

OK, I'm not down on tech in general - built my career (and retirement) on it - but really, when I ask my wife (somewhat my junior) "Where did you hear that? " to some dumb news report and she responds "Facebook", I immediately question its validity and run to verify it on "real media sources".
Now get off my lawn, dagnabbit!

Hahahahahahaha! That's the problem, I AM tuned to all the media and it makes my point that all this new superfluous tech in cars obviously ain't helpin'! HAR!

And I completely agree about new cars being intrusive. Get off your smart phone and drive your damn car.
Finally. Call me crazy but part of the reason that I always wanted, and finally bought, a 350z is because the body lines on this car are some of the sexiest I've ever seen. I think it looks 10 times better than some of the high end sports cars on the market.

Worked on cleaning up the brake calipers a bit... Need to figure out what im going to do about paint and pads and rotors.
Also got all new 02 sensors so all I need now is for the snow to melt off the car and then maybe a few weeks of nice weather.
