i have to apologize beforehand in case the guy is here on these forums, but you guys would not believe what i saw yesterday.
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.

i guess i am trying not to rag on anyone trying to make a buck.
i was just mostly shocked that this guy put the sign/magnet on his car.
whats next???
a Z with one of them magnetic ribbons for the troops or "god bless the USA".
all of which are noble causes, even the guy making a buck. but also all of which have no business on the Z!!!!!!

I think that's awesome, I bet he gets papa john's a lot of business. By the way, those "god bless the U.S." magnets don't stick to the back bumper of the Z, so you couldn't put one on if you wanted to.

Be easy on the guy... we all got to make a living...
Besides, this dude may meet some hot chick on one of his deliveries...
Heck, if I was the dude, I'd go straight up to Papa John's promotions and ask them for sponsorship....

You have a problem with a sticker that says "Support our troops" or "God bless the USA" then you have a problem with me. Because guess what, Im over here with them in direct support of what they are doing. Obviously you never had to fight for anything other than a parking space

If owning a Z is going to make me stuck up and talk junk about something as trivial as that then i dont want one and definitely do not want to be associated with people who do.
