JB_BA Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I roll into Wal-Mart today to exchange something, and I spend a minute riding around the parking lot looking for a good spot...never found one, so I parked way out near the highway. As I'm walking up to the store, a guy in a Harley D. Edition F-150 steps out of his truck and walks up to me quickly. He says: "What kind of car is that you have man? What is that an old school Porsche?" I laughed a little, and said, "Naw man, that's a 240z." I got the usual..."Oh really?!" I continued to explain that it wasn't JUST a 240z. When I started talking about quarter mile times etc he just whistled and made noises, so I don't think he had a clue what I was talking about...but oh well... I didn't bother telling him I'd gladly line my Z up with any of the local Porsches... JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two40 Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I get 'it's a 260 right?' all the time. Being from Oz where not many 240's were sold I don't blame them. Hey, I had no idea what a 240 was pre November 2002. Besides, the badgless look doesn't help many people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Know how you feel about the Porsche comment. With the Aero II kit on my car and all the 280Z insignias removed I have confused many people and also been mistaken for a Porsche. They usually get doubly confused when I tell them it is a "Datsun" as most younger folks have never heard of one. It does give kind of a perverse pleasure.

Guest LightHeaded2ozKB Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Wait you guys. The 944 chevy swap is retarded UNLESS its a 944na. I was interested in 944s since i was 10. My best friend has a 88 944 Turbo that has 500rwhp and somthing like 350fpt. He spent about $6000 total on the car. His 1/4 mile time are around 11.5. The thig about the 944 is that is was built to got from 30-150 FAST not 0-60. A stock 944 would smoke all of us (well excluding a select few ) in a 30-150 mph race because of all there high end horsepower. I love thoes cars, to me there a V8 Z for daily driving and they handle like a dream, the car drive itself. If any one is interested in these cars go to http://www.rennlist.com of http://www.pelicanparts.com and check out the 944 fourms. Bwah ha ha ha !

fl327 Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 i love it when that happens. everynow and again with my old red v8z, someone once asked me "what year ferrari is that" you know what i said "1972" reminds of me of this one time: i used to work at a coffee shop and used to open the place at 6am, and would always park my "ferrari" right in front and put a orange cone in front of it so people couldnt take out my hood with a parralell parking mishap, and i could constantly keep my eye on it. girl, or woman i should say, comes walking in, and keeps staring at me, then the car, me then the car. i should have never started the conversation. started talking to her about something, and she asks me for my number. she said she hadnt seen that many old "porsches" around and asks me how i can afford something like that, and we talk for a while, about what she does and what not. she looks like 20-something, she was freaking 32 years old, i was about 21 at the time, she told me how old she was and i made her ID verify that. (FIONA MA, 32, hair stylist on 24th and Irving street in San Francisco CA.) she calls me that night from artichoke joes (a casino about 20miles south of sf) and i go to pick her up. (man i shoulda known not to mess with her, the signs were there from the start) and we go downtown and get some drinks, she keeps trippin that the "porsche" runs so hard, i was driving like a complete lunatic anyways, im getting the right signals and getting away with way too much grope, so i end up going to the house and blastin, right? the next morning i take her back to her house, and she starts asking me for money, saying she had just borrowed money from her ex boyfriend to get an abortion! she asks me for 400 bucks to loan her until next week, thats when i made up an excuse to go home and gave her about 200 foot of fishtail sideways black bacon strips up the block, ah the muncie four speed clutchless second gear shots, man i miss that car sometimes. never heard from her again, didnt call her either. this was the only time a car ever got me the girl, and it ended up she was a gold diggin skeezoid,chickenhead hey it happened, and it all started with talk about my "porsche" be careful players.

Cruez Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I took the Z up to NB, Canada around 1990 on vacation.. I came back from an outdoor concert and I parked the car beside the ocean underneath a streetlight by itself... great backdrop.. ... anyway, there was about 12 people standing around my car around 16-20ish old. When I walked up they were asking all kinds of questions ...including a guy that asked if it was a Porsche... I should have taken a picture that day...I loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
