haha damn. I knew I'd catch hell for the pedo bear and the pink uninc pig. NO I am not a girl. The uninc pig is a snowboard thing and the pedo bear is like a crime watch thing…..had it on my vehicles for awhile now….didn't think I needed to stop just cuz its on a Z….If a girl owned this car….I'd probably marry her….
A couple of things being done to my Z this summer, still not done

haha, its all good moto. At least your daughter likes em. I see you ride though….you actually race or just do track days? I've got a 636 I rip around on for track days at beaverun raceway out here in PA and I love it. Might head 'er out to mid ohio this coming summer….
Still have my GSXR1K but I don't ride much these days. I had a pretty big crash at Thunderhill and then had a couple of buddies that got hurt or killed at track days/races. Then I got married...you get where I'm going with this. Then she "let me" buy the Z so I wouldn't go crazy.
My last crash: Thunderhill lowside Expensive track day. Be safe out there.

got a lot done today with a local shop. Passenger seat belt harness, topped off some fluids, did some frame slider surgery and then installed Fangs to protect them in the future. with the alignment yesterday, she's feeling much better.

Nice...I mostly was a track day junkie.

Installed JK Motoring 8000K HID's today:
Before (sorry don't have one before with halogens…):
After (kinda mad I didn't go with the 10K or even 12K b/c these are pretty much white with a hint of blue, not more blue as I thought they would be….good thing is that I have more light output, hence, see better at night. That's the point after all….better to see than look cool):
Here's one of the lights shining on a garage thats 40 feet away…notice, not too much of a scattered pattern, looks pretty solid as a matter of fact!:
All in all, pretty stoaked and happy with the upgrade…only 100 buck in total, and changed the whole look of my Z

Mine sat in the garage today and rested up from yesterdays drive.
Woke up Saturday @ 4:30am took a shower and packed the vette. Left around 5:30 and drove 11 hours straight down I-75. Now, if it would only stop raining so we can enjoy the beach.

Took my 12yo son for a short cruise today. We wound up at the local minor league baseball stadium where I took a few pics of my '02 Z. Now I can quit using the shot that the guy I bought it from had up on cars.com.

This is how every single factory HID beam pattern looks.

There are plenty of people running HIDs in stock housing...myself included. They can be aimed to minimize oncoming glare. Besides, most projector housing look like azz

I drove it to work then contemplated selling it, love the Vette but I feel like its getting stale. I see Vette's all the time but rarely see Z's in my area especially C6 Z's in which I've been wanting, on the way to work I spotted the nose of a new C6 with the RAM air hood and I started getting excited but it turned out to be a grandsport. Don't get me wrong all Vette's are nice to me but constantly seeing base Vettes even the grandsport just kills the exclusivity to me. ok I'm done ranting
