Default People let's not exaggerate here

I was talking to this clown today who just got his 350Z. He kept bragging about it, and told me that his car is the fastest production car out there (!) and he just smoked an M3 and brand new 911 Turbo (!). He told me he beat a couple of sports bikes too.

Unbeknownst to him, I do own a 350Z too, and for several months now. I also own a crotch rocket. Although I think the Z is a fanstastic sports car, it is by no way faster than a 911 Turbo, or a sports bike. Let's be realistic here.

This kind of BS is only going to make the rest of us Z owners look like fools.

I disagree. It makes HIM look like a fool. His claims are so outrageous that anyone would have to be a total moron to associate his attitude with the entire 350Z community. Everybody knows there are some lunatics in every crowd...

I sure hope so. Unfortunately, people are prone to categorizing, and I would hate to see other's have a negative opinion of other Z owners based on a few morons' attitudes.

Unforunately, that's the truth of it. Just try not to get TOO embarassed and make sure that you're pretty visible as a sane and nice person. lol

I know you're trying to be funny (even though you're not)- but seriously, there is no need to bash the Canadians. Consider this a warning.

Blame Canada!! (From South Park Movie!)

Sheila: Time's have changed
Our kids are kids are getting worse
They wont obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Sharon: Should we blame the government?
Liane: Or blame society?
Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV?
Sheila: No, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their beady little eyes
And flappin heads so full of lies
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: We need to form a full assault
Everyone: It's Canadas fault!
Sharon: Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon
And now he's off to join the Klan!
Liane: And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to **** myself!
Sheila: Well, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
It seems that everythings gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Some Guy: There not even a real country anyway
Ms. McCormick: My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer it's true
Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue
Everyone: Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Sheila: Heck no!
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their hockey hubbabaloo
Liane: And that ***** Anne Murray too
Everyone: Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
The **** we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun
must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

If you'd like, we can export some our "great" American crime to your country if you feel "peaceful" isn't a "great characteristic".

trying to be funny?

I thought it a stroke of genious myself. And to think I got my coveted yellow card from the discussion with the F-body fellows.


Anywho, I have more family in Canada than I can count, I don't see what gentle humor could hurt but you're the mod.


I'll be good.
