It's killing me

The Z looks sad and she is always wet.


Car meets look like ghost towns because everyone is inside.


It's not all bad.

What pisses me off but is my own fault is I washed the **** out of my Z on I think wed and the next day ruined it. Then last night my left front tire went flat while I was going 70 on the 405, I was going to change the tire my self but noticed my spare was also flat so I called AAA to pump up my spare, so the guy gets there takes off my wheel and the spare doesnt fit, so I have to have it towed to power nissan in Irvine. I find out today that when the driver put my wheel back on he cross threaded the lug and when the tech at Nissan took the wheel off he broke the stud off. The whole reason I got the flat was because my valve stem was leaking which doesnt make any sense because I didnt mess with it and didnt even touch the wheel for quite a while. Nissan tells me that they cant change the valve stem on my after market rims so I have to take it elsewhere and they fix it and upon picking up the wheel I notice that the inside side wall is blistered and Ill have to replace my new Toyo Proxes. So as of now I have a blistered tire and Im riding on 4 lugs instead of 5 and I cant do anything about it until monday. I'm not driving around on the 4 lugs so hopefully no more problems.

 

I am just glad I moved from my old apartment...

these pictures are when the flooding on the street went DOWN!.... It was over the side sills and the inside of my carpet was flooded on the passenger side...

 

While WE can always use the rain, much the same in Albuquerque, NM. The "Z" has been garaged since Wednesday. Looks like much of the same today. Thank you HDTV, Fox and Daytona!

 

Sorry to hear you're having rainy days. It's cold but bright over on the East Coast.

 

I guess Toni, Toney, Tone was wrong when then shouted:

'It never rains in Southern California'

 

I'm hating the rain. Hey Jase, did you send over the hatch struts?

 

It's a good time to test out how well the Stock OEM tires work in the rain.

 

I have a car for the rainy days, except it doesn't rain here that often so every time I go to use it, the damn battery is dead! We recently bought another battery and this one died grrrrrr. It is probably sucking power from something and I should disconnect errr... (the ground?) one side and it would probably be OK.

I mean to drive it once a week, but I enjoy driving the Z so much more that I... skip it every week. Bad system, I know.

 

We have had almost 4x our yearly rain for the year. I'm always worried my Injen CAI will suck up a puddle.

 

I am hating the rain. We have seen enough rain already.

hey jason, you just leave your nice z out in the street like that!? btw, i don't want to sound like an idiot but does your fuzion hood come with a rain catch or something or is your engine/ engine bay all wet from the rain?

 

Man, My Z has been sitting for over a week now. The weather man said it was gonna rain since last Monday. I don't like to drive the Z in the rain. So I washed her up, put her away and drove the backup. Well it didn't rain til Wednesday-Thursday and now they say it's gonna rain til Wednesday! Man, I dying to get her back out on the road.

 

i dont have a beater and i loooveee driving in the rain ... zipping past SUV's with AWD doing 20 in a 45mph... :P
ppl in socal get really freaked out in the rain... its like some bizarree thing that their cars can't handle... geezz

 

yeah my car is always parked out on the street...

now at my new apartment i have a spot under half the building which is nice...

it came closed, but i cut out the part that keeps the rain out...

 

The worst part about all this rain is not having my car to enjoy it! I love driving the Z in the rain it saves so much on tire

 

yeah...

i went to pick up food and any time i had a straight, i just punched the throttle in 2nd to see how fast i could get the rear wheels going while going straight.. ehe h

 

Alright desiZ, because of you I decided to take the ride out for a cruz. Felt good...

 

I don't mind driving in the rain except for the puddles sometimes. I always make sure that I have a firm grip on the wheel.
