Funny/notable things said about your Z.

i always get the guys giving me thumbs up and signals to do burnouts... so i make them happy and because of that, i need new tyres haha. Oh yeah... if Simmo..(WazTTed) remembers, before i bought my car,

asain dude...
"whats the retail on one of these?"
"they got like 400hp dont they?"

 

i'll always remember the fag that sed "is that a non turbo, should of got a VL"

 

did you visit the grave often?

when you buried his body? ... (i can say that, i own a holden now lol ....

My G/F has the problem where she thinks cars are classified by colours rather model

 

When Owning a Z:

The usual "Is that a porsche?" the few times I stepped out the car near kids they seemed to know exactly what it was, obviously been reading up :zlove:
But usually the comments flowed on how "unreliable" they are, several references to their cooling system.. Idiots.. And I drove past a bus stop with like 40 kids waiting for a day trip, and they all decided to wave at me, of course I gave a wave back And my most embarassing moment was trying to do a burnout, only to smoke the clutch instead :lame:

When owning a Supra:

Every fast and the furious quote you can name.. 2JZ!? no shit! ect.. I dont like to think about the supra much, Such a damn dissappointment after hopping out of a Z

When owning a Corvette:

Stupid amount of attention, used to get mobbed at fuel pumps, mobbed at corner shops everywhere, mobbed at tafe, Had my ass handed to me by a standard Corolla when I was running rough.. that was fun..

When owning A GTR:

Heard a bunch of stupid guys in a car next to me checking out the car from their 180sx, and I overheard one of them say "I think its real!", I looked, nodded, and showed them how real it was in a glorious 4 tyre display, I didnt get to hear their future comments as they were a spec in my rear view :biggrin:

 

when pulling up at a freinds house

his GF walks up the drive way a few minutes later and asks "who's Ferrari is out the front?" to be fair she is blonde and my Z is red with tan leather interior

 

from my family and GF:
"hey it's one of your car!" (on tv/down the street/on the highway). And i'm like no no...that's a porsche/ferrari (they don't look the same!! )

from my staff: "hey i saw you speeding again you hoon!" to which i reply, "oh yes, so where was this?" And every time they tell me a place where i would never speed. Combination of a loud, sleek car and two P plates and everyone thinks you're speeding eh?

I also get tooted on the road sometimes by other drivers and get the odd thumbs up which is nice.

:zlove:

 

Yesterday, I was trailering my car to the shed where I'm gonna put the engine back in.

There happened to be some people around when we pulled up to park it. Including a kid and his father.

Kid: "Is that a race car daddy?"
Father: "Yes mate it's a race car"

 

Another customer at the Tyre shop: "That's got a V12 right?"

Also the usual "You get paid too much comments" and surprised looks from various girl's parents

 

My all time favourite comment

i was in a car park, 2 weeks after buying my Zed and contemplating the value/benefit when this little girl and her mum walked past and the little girl said, ' Look mummy, a racing car!'
never questioned the Zed again
oh and my mates always give me that line only cause i brought it up 1000 times!

 

Hehehe, gotta love the racing car comments.

When I was putting my new interiour in the old boy from the end of my street came up and said"that is the nicest looking Corvette I think I have ever seen"

 

Re:- Standard Corolla

You shore it was standard. A standard looking corolla VG30DETT donk,
HKS turbos . Paul car for fun, gee it goes.

 

Quote to repair stone chips

Down the side of my zed.Quote Nissan Skyline time to pull and replace front bar 30 min. the rest were also under quoted:bash: :biggrin: :zlove:

 

You too huh, must be common to think Z's are corvettes then! lol

 

I suppose it looks kind of similar to the mid 80's corvette.

If you squint,

and turn your head to the side

 

Lol.. the Mid 70's Vette's were as slow as a wet week, its at a time when fuel started to get super expensive and performance was a dirty word, so they started becoming more "fuel effiecied" and smog reduced, Basically they were not fast cars that then had their balls cut off

It wouldn't be unusual for mid 70's vettes to be running 17+ secs in the 1/4 mile, They are absoultly beautiful cars and always will be, But they need work to be quick, Mine had a cam, intake, rockers and that was about it, but it was running like a pig, a mech friend I know took it for a weekend and made it a different car! would have easily done a low 14 - mid 13 after that.

So when it was running rough, Yes it was grandpas corolla that whooped me Easy!

 

Pulled over last month on way to a night out:

Cop - 'just a quick breathalizer test' 'ok...good'
'is she turbo?'

Me - 'Yeah'

Cop - 'Aww thats a shame, its auto'

Me - 'Yeah i know'

Cop - 'Nearly bought on of these but got a wrx instead'

Me - :zlove: :zlove:

Cop - 'have a good night'

Made my friday night a little better :biggrin:
