Hai gais!

Now everyone gather round, it's story time!

Alright, so I went bowling last night with some friends of mine. My good friend Whitney, her boyfriend, and her sister (who happens to be smoking hot). SO we bowl for a few hours and are just messing around an having a good time. It gets to be like 1am and the bowling alley closes. So we leave and talk in the parking lot for like an our or so. Then we all remember that we have work in the morning and decide to leave. So it's 2am, literally not a person in sight.

So I decide to screw around in the parking lot a little and just spin the tires and make some noise. Did that for like 25 seconds and then remember that I am in downtown Scottsdale (Scottsdale & Thomas for those of you who know the area) and realize that there is probably a cop somewhere with his lights off watching me.

So I stop playing around and exit the parking lot and go on my way nice and easy. Sure enough, 10 seconds after I pull out of the parking lot, . Wonderful. Cops in Scottsdale are usually d!ck on power trips. This guy fit the profile. He storms up to my door and yells for my license, proof of insurance, and registration. I give him my license and registration, but I literally just changed over to Geico insurance about 3 days ago. I tell him this and he doesn't believe me. So he goes and runs a check on me and finds out that I do actually have insurance and the car does actually belong to me.

He then asks me if I had been drinking at all tonight. I reply no officer, I have not. Again, he doesn't believe me. I tell him I'm in school to be a fireman and am getting a job as an EMT soon and that I would never drink and drive even a little because I know that I would never get into a fire house with a DUI. He still doesn't believe me. So he "kindly" asks me to "get the hell out of the car"

He puts me through a variety of field sobriety tests. Stand on one foot and touch your nose, walk a straight line, recite the alphabet backwards (which I couldn't do sober) Count backwards from 20 down to 1. He is starting to lighten up by this point as I'm sure he realizes that I'm not some idiot 19 y/o getting smashed and driving around. So he asks why I did that in the parking lot. I gave him the honest answer, "I was doing a little showing off for the girls I was with earlier. He laughs and says that I remind him of himself when he was younger. He then says to keep it under control next time and says that if I really wanna show off just get her into bed and rock her world. I say I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip, and we both go on our marry way.

I was so happy to get out of it. He told me that he could have arrested me and I would have been fined upwards of $1000 dollars. Lesson of the day? Always check for cops before you show off for teh girliez.

atta boy. glad you came out with everything in your bill fold.

I woke up this morning with wind drifts of snow 2 1/2 feet high in front of my door. Winter decided it would show up last night... finally!

I just watched a 60 something year old lady slip on the ice and almost smoke her dome on her rear left wheel. I did the good Samaritan thing and went out and helped her up and made sure she was alright.

haha I should have. Man its funny when this city gets its first big snowfall... everybody just instantly gets entirely stupid. I have been at work for an hour and a half and I have already watched 3 cars drive into the parking stalls and scrape the s**t outta their bumpers/bumper guards on the walkway in front of my store. As I write this I am looking out my window watching some dude in an Escort trying to hook up in the parking lot and just ssssppppiiinnninggg his tires like mad.

its like this....OMGZ SNOW =

rofl Tyler. I figured that story was going to end bad. The ending was a nice surprise.

So...

Today is the first time I've had a chance to drive the Q in real snow. I've driven in a couple light dustings that might as well have been nothing. This is lots of snow. Not too wet, not too dry. Nice consistency. It's not horribly slick, but still slick.

This is definitely not my first time with a RWD car in the snow. Just the Q. The Max is actually the only FWD car I've owned. I had a RWD Caddy and 2wd truck before. So I know how to drive in snow. I've just spent so much time doing it the FWD way I can tell I'm going to have to force-adjust myself away from it.

First thing I noticed:Brake bias plus lots of rear-wheel torque means stoplights are kind of interesting. Never noticed with my gutless older cars. But the Q's making probably 300ft lb at the rear wheels and, since it's auto, even in the dry when stopped you can feel it chomping at the bit. In the snow, the back likes to try to sneak around if your left foot gets lazy on the brake and you let up even a little. The rears will start crawling and the car snakes sideways.

2nd thing I noticed:Traction control is way more useful than I thought. I hadn't anticipated the benefits of it modulating throttle at cruise to accommodate road surface traction changes. In situations where I'd be spinning/gripping/spinning/gripping TCS keeps things smooth and clean for me.Too bad mine doesn't work most of the time. Oh well.

I need to get used to the on/off traction of the snow tires, too. The have DEEP directional tread for superb water evacuation, and when they have traction it's great. But there's nothing gradual when they break loose. Yet another reason I hate automatics. So much easier to modulate tire speed to keep traction with a mechanical drive connection.

This is the reason why doing burn outs is dumb. Why would you honestly think a female would be impressed by your car smoking the tires in a parking lot?

Brilliant! Poor little crossover, though. That's a lot of drivetrain strain. I hope it wasn't AWD.

I never said it was smart. She likes cars and I thought she would think it was funny if I did a little burn out with m crappy little FWD Mirage.

still on the same page since yesterday afternoon, i'm disappointed.

so when i stopped 240sxmotoring last night, i figured i'd propose a trade to jeff, the owner. he is selling a zenki the same color as mine, only his is auto and base model. i have an se with the wing, that i just so happen to hate. so i asked him if he would be interested in trading the trunk lids before he sells. he was so quick to shoot me down, it's not like it's going to hurt his sale. dammit i want a wingless trunk so bad

That sucks dude. But I don't get why he wouldn't do it. Most people looking to buy a 240 are douche nozzles who think wings are MAd JdM Tyt3. If anything, I would think it help his sales.

Edit: Now we aren't on the same page anymore, you got your wish Numbnutz

I know it was stupid, I just wasn't really thinking with the right head. I think the cop understood that so he let me off. I learned my lesson though. I just need to have more control over my urge to do stupid sh*t like that.

that's what i was thinking. i mean, i could understand if it were a different color, but it's the same paint code. he already has different colored fender and door, but the trunk would still be the same.

i want my sn to end with a 'z' now lol.
