Haha, chill the **** out.

What difference would it make if he told me he was a designer or something like that? What could I do with that insignificant piece of information?

Its not like I said "What is your pay, what department do you work in, whats the address there, what is your full name, who is your superior, how long have you worked there, do they use access cards to enter the building, is there a receptionist, what are her hours, is there night watchman, etc."

nice Z you had, unfortunate but understandable why you had to sell it, the Z is a very impractical car.

What kind of front lip is that by the way?

What color was your front lip?It looks really flat. Sorry to hear that you had to let your Z go...I can't even imagine letting mine go, but that's maybe because I've only had mine for 4 days now : )

If you look to the left, there is snow in New York as of RIGHT NOW.

Yet, Vancouver, on the right has NONE. Not to imply you are, in any way, ignorant....... of course.
honestly, i have no idea where Vancouver is other than it being in Canada, lol. as far as living far from the border? Google Fort Drum/Watertown NY. you will see that i am about 30 minutes from the border and Kingston, Ontario is a normal hangout. matter of fact, all the stores here always have both flags flying (US and Canada) and Ontario drivers must be your version of our New Jersey drivers, lulz.

i just figured if you live in an area that gets snow at all in the winter, you should have a backup. then again, we are right next to Lake Ontario so the lake effects snow is always worse than other places. *sigh* i need to get stationed somewhere else, this place blows.

I'm glad that someone can see that it was not my intention to come off sounding pretentious, that "tone" was solely directed at the lil dipsh!t who doesn't know the difference between greek flat breads and PETA.

DevinB: just to set the record straight with you here. I wish I could rip Enzo's around. I have only had I ride in one. And let's just say I hold a very fortuitous position in the dealership. I'm not the head honcho there. But do play a significant role in how the place is managed, especailly it's customers. I'm not acting like I own these cars, but quite often I do have the keys to these car in my pocket.

This one of the reasons and can let an amazing car such as the Z go as a daily driver, in exchange for an FJ. The hardest part about letting it go is: I built that ****! I researched the **** outta this forum to get ideas for it. My car was a product of everything that I liked on other peoples cars on this site. This site ! Best off-topic threads on any other forum I have been.

Even though I don't own a Z anymore, I am going to continue to frequent it and contribute to it.

Beautiful dog man. Is that a Visla? By the way I like the FJ. Test drove one, very capable off road from what I have read.

I am lucky to not have to get rid of the Titan and still have a new Z. The Titan was paid off 2 years early. It's a gas hog, but I have a short commute and I car pool with the GF. The Z is my weekend, fun, dream car I have wanted since I was a kid. But the Titan is a great off road truck, long trip vehicle and the 4x4 is extra handy in the snow (trips to visit family for Christmas). If I had to cut it down to one car, the Z would go 1st. But since it's already 1/2 paid off, I hope it can stay forever.

I love my dog (Weimaraner) like a son. Best dog I ever had. If I had to drive a used Geo Metro in order to keep him I would. I guess coming from truck forums I am used to most of the guys there being dog lovers so heres some pics of my buddy.

Chest nice Z but I understand your decision your new best friend is happier to see you when you get home, right I love that feeling. Good luck with the FJ and give us some maintenance prices on the Enzo like oil changes and new brakes, lol on the PETA part this thread was a riot

I've been to Vancover BC in January. Worst thing was black ice, later at night and early in the morning. I'll try to give my take on the climate there. The city and the area is right on top of the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific is a warm ocean and has a direct influence on the temperature there. It is really nice during the day. About 50 to 65 degrees the week I was there. It dropped to mid to lower 30's at night. The moisture in the air is very high and accounts for the black ice at night. Average annual snowfall is low. There, way WAY off topic.

A dog is a mans best friend. There is no car in the world I would give my dog up for. Sucks you didn't just get another car on top of the Z cause your lemans was sick. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.
