I thought I'd share for those that aren't on facebook....Sorry if its a repost.... You know you own a Zed when..... -The first thing you buy after the car is an engine hoist, so you can work on it. -The only way to see your turbos is by getting under the car. - when after fixing one problem you find another 2 -Paying $10,000 for an 18 year-old car makes sense. -People don't believe you when you say its a (1989-1996). -You've been asked if it's a Ferrari or Lamborghini, at least twice. -You take off the Twin Turbo sticker on the back and are an instant ricer magnet. - Your roof leaks - None of your friends want to help you work on it, especially if it requires opening the hood - You know that in a parking lot full of newer more expensive cars yours is the one you'd most like to take home - Cup holders are for soccer moms. - The primary use of your ashtray is to hold a cup - When it turns on every time and runs flawlessly for a old ass car - You get all giddy seeing another one and your gf rolls her eyes. - When you park your car next to your window at work just so you can stare at it all day. - When you have a $25K+ wish list for an 18 year old car. - When you spot another Z in a lot and try to park next to it. - when you enjoy spending gratuitous amounts of money that you don't have on a car that may be older than you (or just relatively old) - When you have at least 10 websites bookmarked just for tech help and FAQ's - when you have a car that still looks really sexy, even if it's 18 years old - You ask for a cupholder at drive through windows and the people look at you like your crazy, or you bring a friend to hold the drinks -when other Z's up and acknowledge you. (sense of community) - When you say you'll take someone to the airport and than when there luggage can't fit you apologize and get someone else to do it - When you make fun of FWD "sports" cars. - You park in a space away from other cars because you know you'll be looking back at it as you walk away and want a good clean view. :zlove:
Haha, nice. And some more: http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242210&highlight=best+radiator+twin+turbo
ARE YOU KIDDING LLYOD, THERE IS NOTING TO AGREE WITH IN THAT POST AND ARGUING AND FLAMING IS THE AUS300 WAY !!!! nahhh i kid. no flaming. very true stuff. especially the one about your gf rolling her eyes when you see another one and want to catch up. shes like, omg.. its a friggen car.
I think my gf would rather me drive up to it, then she'd kick the driver out and steal it for herself :zlove:
ill add one to that list..... "when you go out to your car and see a stream of coolant coming out from underneath the car, and without even bothereing to check whats wrong you automatically start cancelling everything youve got on for the weekend and calling your friends over for a tech day....."
I call B/S!!! This line right here... When it turns on every time and runs flawlessly for a old ass car Can you honestly say it runs "FLAWLESSLY" for a old ass car? Everytime you get in, you hope everything runs right and everything is as it SHOULD be... We all know it's not true. We simply ignore the things that are until they threaten our lives or our bank accounts can afford to fix them.
Wow. Complete agreement with 90%+ of those. The gf doesn't roll her eyes though, it's normally laughter. And it's normally only about 30-40% pity.
