Let the upgrade/mod/horsepower spiral begin! Hmm, you think I can put NOS on an electric motor?

Guess I'm not the only one who had a terrible experience!!!! christoc, I think I saw you today in STL, had to go clear up some more problems with the dealer. But it was on the way back from the dealer almost next to Westport.

I'm doing better with it. I just get a little too nervous and then I mess up. Plus my suspension is so rough it kind of freaks me out.
Did you see the Black Z they had in the showroom? I think I just hit 1200 miles at lunch on mine

yes, they are giving that car away, from what I hear, for some sort of raffle or charity. I don't know too many details on it though.

I wish I could win it, I love the tires on it
I gotta call up to Bommarito this weekend and try and get something done with this suspension, it is just horrible! I was planning on going to the show up there this weekend, but with last weeks trip up there I don't think we will make it.

I would have to have my bf drive me up the hill that is before you get to turn back on to 270. I never paid attention to it and I told him there was no way I could stop and start on that hill again. I guess I would have to go all the way down and come back up on Dunn rd. or something to avoid it, lol. I'm such a clutch n00b

you can't use your clutch experience as an excuse, it's more practice, that's what you need, and driving up here will only help you with that!

Or you could avoid that intersection altogether. Get off/get on 270 at Lindbergh. Dunn Road hits a street called Lynn Haven right at Lindbergh. You gotta come though, it's only once a year ya know.

I HATE Missouri weather. It's been raining all goddamn spring, now it's almost summer. When will it stop?


So what's the schedule if it rains this weekend too? Go on with the show? Or?

The show will be postponed (again) if it looks like rain all day. We do not have a rain date scheduled, but we will get one if we have to postpone it. Now, if we have a chance of scattered showers in the morning and then clearing up, we may have the show and deal with a few raindrops. Everyone is really anxious to have the show, but we also want to do it right and wait for a acceptable day. You know how difficult it is to predict the weather here, we may have to wait until Sunday morning to get an idea of what to expect. I will post something here as soon as I know, but if you need an immediate answer, call Ken, it's his show this year.

Well I'm sorry to hear you can't make it. The forecast is looking better all the time. The 10 o'clock news said the rain will be gone by 9 AM and we'll have partly sunny skies with a nice breeze. For those coming bring sun block, when it's cloudy it's easy to burn.

As for the book I got one from Bommarito, one from Nissan (I was one of the pre-orders) and another from Nissan for going to the Z convention (see www.ZCCA.org for details). I gave one to a fellow club member, read one, and the other went into long term storage.

I've had enough of the anticipation, lets get this (car) show on the road!

I am ready, detailed up the car today, so that once it rains all I have to do is dry the car then clean up the windows inside.

Um, as far as weatherbug tells me, it looks like rain, followed by more rain, with a chance of rain, with increasing amounts of rain, followed by scattered showers and more rain. Don't we all love STL?


I will be there if its sunny.

That weatherbug blows! I don't think we could have ordered better weather. At 7AM there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and only a few came through during the entire day. The steady wind helped keep it comfortable and it wasn't humid at all.

Thanks to all that made it, I hope you had as much fun as I did.
