Sparky Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm taking my girl to San Fran for her B-day (Shhhhhh ) and was thinking about renting a 240Z for the weekend to drive out to Carmel...does anyone know if this place is still operating? I called the number and just came up with a generic answering machine. tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd be interested too actually. I remember hearing about that place, and am planning on visiting San Fran this fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete84 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Whoa, if they are still in business, well, I might make use of their services as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzsax Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I am in San Jose but have never heard of any place that rents Z's. If you guys have any other information, I would check it out for you. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I lived close to downtown where their listed address is and I've never seen it there. There was a place in Santa Cruz too but I'm not sure if they're still around either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm not positive about this but I think that the San Jose one moved to Santa Cruz and then eventually closed. The place that was in Santa Cruz is gone for sure. It used to be at the end of Pacific Avenue. The guy let me take one of the cars for a free spin around the block when I went in to chat with him once. I think I also bought a center console from him for like $20. Unfortunately that place has been gone for a couple of years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was trying to remain hopeful but deep down inside I had a feeling that it was closed. So while I have the attention of the locals, any one want to recommend a good restaurant for her birthday dinner. Secluded, maybe an outdoor courtyard nestled between two buildings, NOT touristy in any way, and enjoyable food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzsax Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Not much in San Jose what you might call "touristy". You might try Santana Row, which is made to look like a European street. Many locals go there on weekends, trendy, and many restaurants and a hotel. Maybe a little too commercial for a secluded dinner, but many outdoor places again like european bistros. Maybe San Jose's version of SF pier 39 or Monterey's cannery row. Nice secluded but expensive place in Almaden, La Foret restaurant. About 10 mi. so. of downtown. hope this helps. http://www.santanarow.com/concierge/tourists/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
