BQR280Z Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 We just got back from a vacation in the mountains of North Carolina, and yes I missed the rain entirely. After 2600 miles of driving, I only saw one first gen Z on the road, a blue one in Mocksville, NC. A couple 79-83 Z's rotting in yards, and two 84-89 Z's on the road. I did see two 90-96 Z's, which we just don't see many of here in Wisconsin. We saw about 30 new 350Z's, 3 Vipers, a zillion Vettes. So all in all, driving a first gen Z puts us in a pretty special class. Not to mention it is a total rush. Our early Z's have an ability to span time and generations that is totally unique. It is a car that kids look at and drool, and that older ones look at and smile, because they had one, knew someone who had one or always wanted one. I have had 3 different people ask me if my Z is brand new, how many 29 year old cars can offer that, plus the benefit of being something we built ourselves. Enough dripple, but being a Z'er is still cool. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yes, way cool. I don't see many Z's on the road in Maryland. But in SoCal they are still pretty common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hey Bill, Did you see the HybridZ BBQ in the announcements? Yeah, there is only a handfull of Z cars around here. Most have rotted away a long time ago. Most people just look , because they don't know what kind of car it is. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeeboost Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Last week, this girl was telling me, "Hey, that's a nice C..R.." then I butt in and said "Oh hell no, it's not a Honda, look again." "Oh. Is it a Ferrari?" That's the best one I've heard yet (at least towards my car) At least she could tell it was an import Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rreford Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 month or so ago, I had two 18 yr old kids in a blazer ask me if my '71 240 was the new 350Z. No kidding! When I explained that they had missed by a few years/decades, then they wanted to know if I was interested in selling it. Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
