Drove the Extraterrestrial Highway...

[jayhawk70]

Drove from Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas August 31st to join the ZAAR rally.

I now officially claim to be the first RZ34 to drive the Extraterrestrial Highway by Area 51! (until someone proves me wrong....)

And shortly after leaving the Little A'Le'Inn, found some disguised actual aliens blocking the highway! (I know I saw a flying saucer above but must have been "cloaked" since my dashcam could not see it...)

I think I have wheel envy.

Nice trip, Bob! I said Hi at the Dana Point stop, liked your powdercoated Performance hoops.

It cost me $200 per wheel to have them powdercoated "polished aluminum" at a shop in N. California. A lot cheaper than new wheels.

Loving the silver wheels, really makes the car.

If you zoom way in on a very specific spot...

BTW, something's wrong with that dog.

Sounds fun. I prefer the extra testicle highway. It has more curves and is more engaging

Love the wheels, one reason I got the sport is because of the wheels! OK missed out on all the performance stuff but I am not a pedal pusher. Great pics.

Yeah sorry to minimize your cool trip, but the wheels are sick. It’s a Sport upgrade for people like me who like the traditional GT look.

Best thing you could have done the wheels, they look great!

I'll never understand what many people see in dark colored wheels THAT HIDES ALL THE SWEET DETAILS THAT A LIGHTER COLOR DOESN'T. I love that you made the car much better looking by doing that with the wheels.

 

[50thZ]

AGREED!

Looks like an interesting and fun road trip! Never made it over that way, but I always made sure to stop in Baker when travelling from Palmdale to Vegas for some Alien Jerky.

Those wheels look great!

I feel the same way! IMO, black wheels hide definition. Although the facets of the spokes do highlight the design, I feel that black does a great job at cancelling those out. I'm more of a bronze wheel person, but I want to get mine done in a gunmetalish bronze color for my Bayside Blue Z when it's time for new tires.
