So on the way home, this douch in a new M5 was weaving in and out of traffic. So I suppose both sides of the spectrum seen today (slow 4 banger and PO's caveliers to expensive and nice fast cars) are driven by douchbags.


I'm glad I'm normal.

 

contrary to yesterday, this am was a calm drive to work. just minding my own business as usual, and zipped into the office.

so i found this new store in LA area that seems to be pretty promising. i ordered up another pair of eibach 20mm prospacers i want to try on my Z's rear. right now using Kics 15mm with hubcentric rings but want to push out just a hair.

with the online coupon they had, it was a very good deal. if things arrive on-time tomorrow and properly packaged, transaction a success, i will send out links here.

 

this new LA store appears to have f-ed up my order so im not going to link here. lol


hey, gotz my snow tires today from Alex over at Tirerack. i got the steelies and 195/55/15 blizzak ws60. the WS60 are AMAZING in the deep snow. been very happy with them on my GE, so got a set now for my GD since i think im going to keep it until 2014. the reason begin, i will only benefit about 1500 if i sold the car next yr vs in 3yrs with everything considered....

going to take my car into the bodyshop to get that fender fixed too this fall.

 

ok, so if you're in the market for snow tires like the set i bought this week, here's where you can get a super deal + $50 AmericanExpress gift card.

Get Ready. Get Fifty.

i bought the Bridgestone Blizzak WS60's eligible for the full $50.
these snow tires turn your Fit into a AWD like car in deep snow and ice. it is a NIGHT DAY difference between the all season tires you get on the car.

i bought just the black steel wheels 15" and 195/55/15. came out to about $630 delivered.
should last me a good 3-4yrs of winter use. Alex is the man over there x294.

 

nice day out today took the kid to school in my G and motored afterwards. was a good drive, nice breeze, woods entering autumn very pretty.

on the way back i was waiting for the light (im in the straight line) at a intersection, the left-turn light turns green, cars on my left make left hand turns, my light is still red. some young latino chick started honking her flimsy horn at me from behind and im looking at her through my rearview mirror like 'the light is still red child, you can wait another 5-10 sec or you're in the wrong lane.'

she's shouting "GO!!! you f-!"

she continues to blare her flimsy horn so i look at her again through my rear view with a smirk and winked at her. she then decided to move into the left-turn lane next to me. i look over and she's flipping me off with her chubby finger and shouting f-k you~!!! i look up and my light is still red.

A few seconds later my light turns green, i drive off laughing. lol

a good example of stupid hotheaded ghetto chick getting it wrong yet the world is wrong cause no one told her she was doing it incorrectly.

thought that was entertaining.

 

I'm sitting here in the GE waiting for the wife and kids to come out. This has got to be one of the most uncomfortable cars I've ever bought. Lol

No leg room, seats are awkardly shaped, damn. My back and neck is aching, muscles twitching almost.

 

motored the Z this am and had a great time, QD'ed afterwards.

i then proceeded to wash the GE and clayed the car, waxed. looks brand new again. took off all those little rust spots and dots and tar, bugs, etc. looks great.

also washed my GD.

 

Picking up some indian tonight in my FitS.

Nice cold air mucho power. Well, not really but very responsive. hahahha

 

my Fit's were looking great this am. cant wait to motor home in the cool weather.

that indian food i had last night was kinda strong (spicy and rich)... was kinda ill this am with a heartburn and ikky feeling. lol wife's making us some salmon tonight with very little sodium and all natural (neutral) flavoring to let our bodies rest. hahaha.

 

woot, feeling much better today. something about salmon cooked j-style with just sea salt. very simple and tastey and easy on my body.

the drive home yesterday in my FitS was great. driver side window wide open like how i like it in my hobby cars, and just cruised home.

hope to do the same today...

i think im going to have more j-food this week. after eating burgers and chinese and indian food the last few weeks i got tired of eathing heavy food for a while.

 

traffic was terrible this am... saw a black 370Z on the way (very rarely do we see 370Z's in my area) to work about 4 cars ahead of me so wanted to check it out but traffic just failed me... damn pos saturn driver made me loose position by 6,7, cars, then a daiwoo set me back to maybe 10cars behind... damn losers stay home or get out of my way! hahahaha. the Z made a turn so it was gone by the time i made it to the intersection. guess i'll check out mine when i get home.

need to get my hair cut tonight so should be kind of a treat motoring my Fit there and back in this cool weather.

 

woot, drive back from the hair place was great. nice cool air not too much traffic and only got held up by one light.

should be like this every day.

 

its been one f-king week and the shitty store in LA has yet to send me a call tag for the botched order. man they suckarse! hahahaha.

on the contrary, i think i may have found a new shop to buy detailing gear. will keep you guys posted how that turns out.

 

the shit store in LA sent me the RMA and call tag so i dropped off the package this pm. im just worried they're going to claim that i sent them the wrong part back because they are such idiots (they sent ME the wrong part...). anyway will see next week. never shopping there again.

looks like my 370Z shirt came in today. also my detailing stuff is on its way to me.

was wondering why we dont have tool vendors at car forums... like wrenches and drivers, deals on cordless drivers, impacts, etc. be happy to buy from them at a deal.

 

got my spacers this am locally...honestly if i could've bought at the price i got them locally there's no frikken way im buying these online any more. lol

motored my Z this am. had to take care of some family matter so during the waiting time took her out for a spin... was a good drive.

going to install the spacers tonight and letting the loctite cure over night.

 

k, so i got the new 20mm spacers all installed ready to go for tomorrow's drive in the G (rear wheels). letting the loctite blue cure over night.

so i have kics, eibach, and this new ichiba brand spacers. these all have new studs built into the spacers. as far as quality eibach is very clean and super light weight. kics is obviously very well made, but considerably heavier than the eibach and the hubcentric ring is sold separately. ichiba's not sure... they look like pos made at some local villager garage in china. anyway, they seem to be durable per many reviews so will give them a shot this time.

next time im definitely going to get my usual kics/eibach's for sure.

 

Despite the china quality spacers, the ichiba's did well during the drive today. I don't trust those little nuts in the salt though. They're plated with something but I'm sure they will corrode guessing from the quality.

 

here's wat my G looks like today.

 

motored my FitS to the stores this pm. had a good time driving. have to say, in traffic the FitS is a fun car to drive. i like how i can take it anywhere and i dont have to feel worried about anything...just makes life a tad more fun.

 

Motored my Z this am, was a good drive. some of the roads were still wet so used SprayOn CarWash after the drive to do the lower sidepanels and rear bumper.


Hope its a nice week this week.
