Finally got the Z on the road, drove it to work last night, and drove it a little in the morning after work, took it to get aligned and cleaned it up a bit...registered it last week to make it legal...somewhat...hehe. And decided to take it to work tonight as well.
and half way to work...it died.
I was running a little late, so I was doing well over the speed limit...and since the exhaust is super loud...I was a dead target among all the other cars rushing to work to make it on time as well......and then I jumped out, stepped on it to pass a car, and midway thru the passing process...the ignition shut off...so I hit the hazards and pulled it over to the side of the road.
right as I pulled it over...I got lit up by a state trooper. And I was trying to crank the car when he came up to the passengers window...and he saw the reg date on the rear plate and first thing out of his mouth was..."I hope this is registered..."
It was...CT now has the registration sticker in the front windshields so the plates date are no longer needed...and I showed him the registration...and he laughed. And he said he would call AAA for me while I try some last chance tries to get the engine running again...he tossed me his flashlight and went back to his cruiser to make a call and play with his laptop. No luck on starting the car, so I gave up and he lit some flares and took off.
So the AAA truck came and took me back home with the car, I called work and took the day off...
If the car would have ran for about 30 seconds longer...it would have been different.. I'd prolly have a ticket for speeding, and a noise ticket
