maybe he owns a papa johns and he was short on drivers for that day...writing off the Z as a small business expense...not a bad idea.

i have a friend who owns a franchise pizza place...they have to deliver/fill in whenever they are short on workers, so it's not entirely unreasonable that it's the owner.

I tried putting one of those pizza signs on my ZR to afford a few extra mods, but couldn't get it to stick to the top.

spanking new Z, silverstone. very nice, 30 day tags still on her. what was so bad you ask? well a certain aftermarket mod is what almost made me puke. on top of the car was a PAPA JOHN's magnetic sign.

thats right the dude was delivering pizzas!!!!!! i mean holy ****. I am in no way stuck up, and i realize that the Z, while nice, is in no way as prestigous as a porsche or some other cars. but it made me cringe to think of the life that his poor Z was going to have to live. a life of stop lights, hard braking and multiple potholes.

tried to get a pic but all i had was my camera phone while driving at the same time.
In almost 3 years, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard on this forum!!! And, let me tell you, there have been some stupid things.

I agree with everything that ncparamedic said 100%. Any support is good support for our country. God Bless and Come Home Safe.

I must concur. I really try not to post that much outside of the ZdayZ threads, but I think something needs to be said here. I read many different forums on many different sights dealing with many different makes of rides. I've read about 140 hp bolt on mods, magic spark plugs good for everything under the sun, heck I even read that Kenny Brown made a mod for a truck (bad history there). However the single most idiotic statement ever posted, except perhaps the question of whether my truck was a front wheel drive vehicle (and I guess that constitues an idiotic question), had to have been about a pizza sign on a car.

Let it go! Perhaps if people paid more attention to their own damm driving, there might be one or two less recks a day. I don't like carbon fiber this and that all over cars, I really don't like vinyl graphics, and the whole coffee can exhaust escapes me. To each their own. Sit back, smile, and enjoy your ride.

As for supporting the troops, do it as you see fit. I did it my way, I wore the uniform for 4 years.

LG

Its hysterical to watch you guys get all wound about because you think this guy shouldn't have gotten all wound up.

This thread is a riot if for no other reason than, well, dammit, it just shows how polar opposite some people can be.

You have the OP on one end ncparamedic on the other.

Lightning guy, hows about we all just let it go?
If its ok to ignore stupid stuff people do to their car its equally as ok to NOT ignore it. Everyone reacts defferently, you guys just all need to chill out.

Not try to make this into something about supporting the troops (I still laugh that it managed to wind up there), or whatever, just let it go, everyone.

If you want one of those stupid magnets, check these out: http://www.antimagnet.com/

And, if you want to support troops, send care packages. In my four years in the marine corps I never saw a single benefit of some snotty civilian buying a magnet.

I would rather deliver in a 350z than a yogo. I covered 3 states in a 260z and anther 3 in a plane. Guess which one I enjoyed more.
