Been back for about 2 weeks now. Had to pull out the Z because my GF's car has expired stickers, so my car is our daily.

Still haven't put anything on the car. The cluster is in though, but it isn't screwed on!

Are you in mainland japan, or in okinawa?

I just got back from deploying last month. Yeah, every computer there had my car as a background. I kept a video clip on my video MP3 player there to remind me of the noise on occasion. I took her out for a spin a couple times when I got back, it just had to be done.
