Jody - srsly - when I see you registered and see a helmet and numbers on your car...even AFTER you make your first run... I will believe you...LOL.. no offense by all means.. anyone who doesnt let their car see rain.. has 16K miles on an 06 usually WONT run thier car.. so please...with cherries...prove me wrong on this one...
No, I am being serious. I'm saving for spring and says, and then if I can get a set of inexpensive rims I think I may do some tracking with you guys. I'm not going to do any mods cause I'm not looking to be competitive and I'm not gonna be hard on my car. Just for fun and a good opportunity to be a better driver on the road when jack a$$es cut me off and stuff.

Yes Jody get those springs, and come drive....I think it really does help in your DD'ng to swerve from idiots.

As for the stock rims...my comment wasn't for track usage...purely for asthetics as far as a stock looking wheel goes. I still like those Hyper blk Nismo rims....they are offset sizes like your Rims....18's frt & 19's Rr.
For a stock look to your Z...I think these look the best by far ! After yours of course.

So the wifey says she wants to get rid of her 2009 Highlander ..... she says she wants a Hybrid. ???

We all know that Toyota/Lexus, Nissan, Honda, etc.... all make great cars that last.

Does anybody know first hand how good these cars really are ? What are the cost of battery replacement ? How long do they last for ? etc.... I have read lots of Consumer Reports on certain models...but I have no inside personal knowledge of anyone that has a Hybrid and what encounters they go thru that regular gas engines have.

Any first hand info will be appreciated.

Chris,
Mercedes also came out with two hybrid models and from what I learned in hybrid class the batteries have at least 100k warranty but I'm not sure if it's like that with all companies, those batteries don't fail as often as a conventional battery, but if it does fail and for some reason you have to pay out of pocket be prepared to pay close to 6,000 dollars and it's not something any shop can do...
