i get the usuall every one staring thing but for some reason 70 yr old men and women love my car there always coming up to me saying how they love it , ( 70 might not be 70 just really old between 60 - 80 )
the 300's have a definite visual impact Zeds's certainly have an impact .. (1) was on the way back to Adelaide from Melbourne after buying the car and stopped at a little servo about an hour out of Ballarat. Two old ladies rocked up in Corolla and quizzed me at length over the car - they said it was the best sports car they had ever seen - dunno if they get out much tho .. (2) My mate has a 16 YO son and one of his friends bought a zed after he saw mine Had a 260Z since 1981 and although it's in perfect nick and gets admiring glances it doesn't have te impact of the 300 ...
zed's sure do stand out It usually happens at servo's, doesn't it? I've had people come up and start chatting about the car, or just lean out of their car window and take a pic with their mobile phone! I'm a primary school teacher (grade 6) in Inala, Brisbane, and you should have seen the response when I drove it to work the first day - from kids, staff and parents. One of the kids in my class told his older brother (about 18ish) his teacher had a 300ZX - he didn't believe him and bet him $20 he was lying! He met me the next day in the car park and had to cough up the dough!!! Good way to teach kids how to make money, I guess! For those of you who know Inala, you might wonder why the heck I would risk driving/parking my zed there. 1) Only car I have 2) Mongoose alarm 3) School has video surveillance 4) Overall, not too bad an area around our school, so OK. Still, I don't leave it parked at the Inala shopping centre for too long... and without 2 and 3, probably wouldn't do it too often (if I had another car). But I don't think I could bring myself to stop driving the z!!!
hahaha nice man... if its true.. mines similar but not as cool... last week i was paying for my fuel and the bloke working there was eyeing my zed off and ask what it was and how much i paid for it.. usual stuff like that... I told him you can import one for about 10g and his jaw dropped... he guessed it was a 2002 model like most people do, but i politely laughed and said na its 1989... (meanwhile i was halfway to the door...i just wanted to pay for my fuel and go..lol) his responce was "f*ck gezz... I've got a daughtor about that age...." (turned out to be 18)... needless to say my attention was caught and i was there chatting for a while after...lol
fuck this!! THATS IT.. IM GOING TO START HANGING OUT AT SERVO'S NOW!! oh man the most annoying question i get ALL the time.. 9/10 people will say this.. them: heyyyyyy man... is it turboooo?! me: yes. them: TWIN?!!?! me: rolls eyes or them: hey is that ur zed? me: yes. them: had any problems? me. nope. them: bullshit.. really? me: really. them: man my cuz has a 300zx its a piece of shit! me: hooray for your cuz. them: wanna drag? me: what car? them: teh skyline bro.. me: your kidding right? its jsut a skyline them: asif you'll beat it.. me: *arghh alright.* 15 mins later after ive taught them a lesson on a private race track them: OMG.. WHAT TURBOS?! me: stock them: BULLSHIT me: seriously, stock. them: why lie for just tell us what turbos bro me: STOCK FFS. usually happens once a week =/ also dont be surprised if all 3 scenerios are the same dude! lol *drives off to the nearest servo, here girls girls girls*
I love it when a car full of guys pulls up slowly behind me, then into the lane beside me... they look all cool out of the window only to see that its not a guy driving, but a blonde chick! LOL! Cracks me up to see their jaw drop then hear them say "thats a chick!" "Nah, dumbass... did the long hair n make-up or the tits give it away?" Oh, and the usual... "is it turbo?" "no" "It looks turbo!" how can a car 'LOOK' turbo? People are funny! *grins*
haha bro dont worry about it... fuck the servo's come with me friday night stop into noble park maccas to buy some food and see al the dareo's in skylines and pink honda civic's staring at your car. the number of times i have picked up there is just funny. after hitting up chasers on a friday night (yeah i know fulllii sicckkk lol) go down princes highway and pick up all the sexy p-plater chicks on the way down and at the maccas when i stop for some late night food.. i love it. but there is a downside to having a zed.. i once got followed by a carload of girls in a lancer.. saw p-plates a girly looking lancer so i pulled beside and me and my mate have a look in 5 FAT AND UGLY chicks start smiling... i jumped on the accelerator and sped off.. somehow they kept up for a bit rofl... scariest moment in my life
4=1 chcik Are you sure that it wasn't 1 chick the siz of 4?????? Maybe it was just your justification in saying i twas 4 chicks at once... HAHAHHAHAHA Jokes.....
LOL some of the funniest stuff guys, especially the post above hahaha On a side note before i forget, the guys older than the expected majority (i.e. 18-25) add a great sense of credibility to this site and a WEALTH of experience...the one thing iv learnt is u can think u know as much as u like but only age will truly giv u wisdom. So great respect and a thanks for being part of the site, i can't go on many forums bcoz im confronted with "hi im 17...how do i make a 10sec car?" Anyways back to stories. Im in Sydney and most of the time i get respect for the car of end up having awesome discussions with fellow enthusiasts...for instance an italian gentleman with an old skool alfa that had a SR transplant in it. Personally i find im overly modest bout my car and always answer with "yeh its not bad" but thats just coz i dont wanna jinx it hahaha
.. lets go noble maccas this friday topher, been a few weeks since i been.. never gone to actually pick up thugh, this could get interesting haha
My story would be when i got my windows tinted at this guys place who works from home, there were kids (about 8 years old or so) riding their bikes past his garage and they saw my zed in there. the guy tinting my car told them it was a ferrari and its $10 to touch it. they quickly went and rounded up more of their friends to stand and stare at the "ferrari" it was great
now..... Ok, now that I've boosted my male ego and penis size with my unreal story, I would like to come true and tell everyone that my story was a whole heap of porky pies.... seriously, I couldnt pick up a hot chick or hot chicks at a servo if they had industrial sized handles.... Infact, if someone could tell me how I managed to get a girlfriend, who then became a fiance and will soon become a wife in november this year, I would much appreciate it.... Cheers (bugger, where did I put those viagra pills?)
Congratulations, all the best with the plans and the future =) The story did kinda seem like it was out of a porno, but hey, good for some laughs =) It gave me more incentive to go fill up more at the servo haha =)
I was staying down the Goldie one weekend, was on the balcony having a cigi (kinda hidden behind some bushes), when these 3 teenagers walk past... The oldest one goes, 'Aaaahhh, a 300!!! - oh and it's a twin turbo (reading the sticker on the back)!' Then one of the others goes yeah and they stop for a look. The big one peers thru the window - 'OH and it's had stuff done to it on the inside!!! And it a manual!!!' This was followed by the oooo's and aaaaahhhh's from the other 2 guys. Then as they were walkin off, the oler guy says, 'I'm sooo gettin one of them!!!' They didn't even know I was there haha
