me likey

[Zwicked]

I've never driven my Z in the winter in the 5 years I've owned it. Garaged for winter gives me time to do the things I'd rather not do when the short summer is here for enjoying it. Winter climate itself takes it's toll on cars and I'd be devastated if someone piled into me as there are certainly a fair share of people who can't seem to grasp how to alter their driving style in snow and icy conditions. I do see the odd one on the road through the winter and just shake my head when I see them. As you point out a second vehicle in order and I'd never use my 300 as a primary driver. It's a hobby car that I feel ecstatic using when I do take it for a spin.

I am sure jobs are not plentiful these days south of the boarder, and it's evident here as well. Being an older Z member, my son lives in LA and I quite enjoy the visits down there. My past job routinely took me to Florida and Texas and it certainly was a nice break in winter season.

Another thing to point out is that when you have a (non-Z) daily driver, it makes you appreciate the Z more. Every time you get in it, it feels new again to you.

She runs great, needs a little TLC but mostly common problems, heater core needs replacing, outter door lock doesnt function on drivers side, and I think there is a minor oil leak. I already had to replace the alternator, that was fun. I still depend on her to get to work, as soon as I dont, I will begin changing cleaning and replacing things. Tell me what you think!!

Common? I've had over a half dozen Z's and never had a heater core problem nor replaced an alternator, and never a problem with the locks. For that matter, about the only thing that ever causes heater core issues is when people use that "Stop Leak" crap in the cooling system. And worse, this means there was likely a problem elsewhere...usually the water pump seal. I would see if the antifreeze (in the radiator) is brownish looking. If so, you have your work cut out for you.

But I do like the car. Just be careful as to what appearance mods you do...as 2+2's don't lend too well to the trendy stuff...stay traditional (and OE), for example G35 wheels, 99' tails/spoiler, etc.

Nice, a couple tastefully done Z32's. Even better, clear, bright, centered pics...even re-sized before posting! Everyone...take notes.

On that note, I wish the rule was for people to not quote using the same pics again...makes the thread long as hell, and tough to work through. Imagine a thread with, say all 640x480 and no re-quotes of pics...it would be a slick thread.

[Truebelieverone]

Indeed. Awesome cars.

Nice Zed

[carcrazyguy]

I like the midnight blue Z's...pretty rare...and even more rare when they come with a blue interior! Speaking of interior, I cannot even imagine how hot those seats are in the summer!!!

[Nagalf]

It's like sitting in the devil's play pen

Nice!

[carcrazyguy]

Sure other than fact that we still have no idea what the car looks like (other than a dark picture of the rear and half of the front). Oh wait, I do see the "shot at dusk" thumbnail of the side.

[TooZXY]

It's mysterious! haha that's a great color too

[MICRoS13]

Thought i drop my bros z in here



it's a lot more lower in person but couldn't get a good looking picture besides this hope you guys enjoy

[carcrazyguy]

WTF, is there some new law that says pics cannot be taken that actually let us see the car?

Also, "lot more lower"? Fwiw, Z's lowered a lot look like they have broken axles. But beauty is in the eye of the" zholder" I guess.

[MICRoS13]

well here you go..... this wasn't so good so

[jEzTeR]

Nice!

I also think that getting the whole car in the frame makes for a better car photo.

[carcrazyguy]

Agreed! But enough with the diagonal pics!!! Sure that may look cool when it's a picture of a six figure show car taken by a professional photographer on the cover of a Tuner magazine...but for us to do that with our pedestrian cars is pretty goofy.

[MICRoS13]

Well you can stop criticizing the pics and just say agree man.... okay maybe people like taking angle pics maybe not... let them do what they want

[carcrazyguy]

Personally I would prefer people point it out if I do goofy ****. Always letting people "do whatever they want" results in lots of outcast adults in society, lol.

But seriously, 75% of these pics are so poor that you can barely tell what the car looks like...so the last thing they need to do is attempt to imitate professional cover art, especially with a typical $2500 Z32. At least get the hang of straight (daytime, side view) shots before going pro! Plus, I have an ulterior motive...I want to see some (nice) Z's!

[MICRoS13]

Lol okay so the z is ugly to you... okay niceee................

[mikep1745]

wow that is very nice good work.

[mikep1745]

wow every one of these Z's i looked at were really nice. good work fellows
