jt1 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 The HybridZ shirt does bring some interesting comments sometimes. At the second day drivers meeting at a track event this past weekend, a guy notices my shirt and says "Are you the guy with the white 240Z?" I replied yes, he shakes his head and says "I don't see how you drive that thing". I didn't really know what he was meaning, and said "It takes some getting used to, but it's a lot of fun to drive". He shook his head again, and said "You're insane". Still trying to figure that one out..... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I actually have my current girlfriend because of my Hybrid Z t-shirt. I was standing in line waiting to buy a ticket to get into Summerfest, and she asked me what my shirt meant (she was standing behind me). I told her about the site and she also knew what a Datsun 240Z and a Buick Grand National was too! I bought her a ticket, we both went in, and we have been together ever since. Had I been wearing a plain shirt, I never would have met this beautiful woman. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 All the more reason to buy a HZ shirt. HybridZ Shirt = Eternal Happiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 JT1, Jody mentioned he met you last weekend, and that you pretty much were flying low everywhere out there... All the guys at the Corvette section at the track days know about HybridZ because of my shirts, hats, stickers, and the online pics of my project cars, yours, and Mark I.'s! They all think we're nuts! John C., CLASSIC story! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I need to get some window stickers or something. I'm totally advertisementless. And I KNOW I've caused my share of bandwidth use. I need to support the site some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 This forum is by far the most helpful and insightful I have found on the internet. I've been on Freshalloy, Supra forums, Vette forums, etc... Most of them are junk. However, I have found a few helpful gems here and there. This is what I've found: For Honda stuff: http://www.hondaswap.com http://www.honda-tech.com (not in the "normal" forums. Browse the welding/fab, swap/hybrid, and forced induction areas. The welding/fab one is especially helpful) Ford stuff: http://www.svtsnake.com http://www.modularfords.com http://www.svtperformance.com (Good detailing section under the show n' shine heading. Tons of videos in the pictures/videos and the Cobra section is quite helpful) Misc: http://www.msefi.com http://www.bobistheoilguy.com (Awesome oil info) There probably are a few others, but I can't remember at the moment.

Gollum Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 it USED to be, to get on SVT forums you had to provide you VIN number, to prove you had a SVT legit vehicle. Thier vid section rocks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 No VIN number requirement anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yea, I know. That's why I said "USED" to. I preffered it when it was exclusive. They had a crowd not so different from us here. Very smart, willing to help people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 That kind of information isn't told' date=' it's seen.[/quote'] Well put! This has been a great discussion. I walked into Motorsports Auto's showroom the other day to buy some stuff for my 1971. One customer was standing around talking to a few of the other customers about his turbo'd 240Z. When he claims that his L6 is making 500hp and runs on regular gas it gets my interest. I walk up and ask the guy what turbo and what EMS he's running to get that power. He looks at me and looks at my HybridZ t-shirt and says, "Well, it really doesn't make that much power." LOL!! Reality bites for those that live in fantasy, doesn't it?
