330 miles to go. I'm thinking of going up to Carmel today, but I'm feeling Lazy. I think I'll wash and wax it, and also come up with escape routes around the complex when this little 5'1" Taiwanese comes after me with a machete' when she comes home next week.

Do you think she'll believe me if I say it's the 350z with a honda body kit?

I can always tell her that mysterious events happen when you leave your husband for almost two months--such as accidentally "slipping" and trading in a car.

Well, I'm at a quarter tank, and I've gone 280 miles. I was mostly driving up and down 280 at 50 to 60 mph in the slow lane--amazing how ******** still come and tailgate you in the slow lane. Break-in ends at 600 miles so I have about 320 miles to go. Damn dealer forgot to put one of the body kits. I have to figure out how it goes in.

It's on March 8. http://www.hotimportnights.com/home.asp

The more I read about this car, the more I regret buying it. It's suppose to be a collectors item, only 2000 made so I'm more like....go rent a garage, seal it and store it. I haven't pushed it yet since it's in the break-in period. The reviews are correct though--it drives like **** for commuting or just normal cruising. Its purely HWY35/9 or track car. The ride is about a 3 in the Cusco damping factor, after comparing with the RX-8.

Maybe I'll ride with you on the next seven stock. I couldn't imagine 4 hours straight on the RX-8, but then again, wifey may want to go again.
She needs to learn a manual transmission.


Do you know of a good MR2 mechanic? There's lots of supercharged motors for that car.

Some suggestions off the top of my head:

1. Move funds to Swiss bank account or some other offshore account.
2. Don't go to sleep for the next month and a half.
3. Pray that she doesn't notice.
4. Buy her roses.

I am sure there are others.

Your setups feels smoother than stock, but I like feeling all those bumps in the road!

That plate is not taken, but I don't see too many people appreciating the humor.

180 miles to go.
