take it for a spin.. its fun

 

exactly what i tell everyone. I think some people on this forum think there cars are ferraris or suomething.

 

dude, my car is out in the middle of my yard covered, well it was covered in snow till i decided at midnight to attack any and all snow around it with a shovel for about 30 minutes. then i gave up because i was thirsty and getting wet haha.

 

I don't know about you, but I've taken good care of all my vehicles. I have a '00 toyota tacoma with 150k in really good shape, at least compare to other trucks like mine. I see people (usually girls, no offense) with potentially beautiful vehicles but just lack the enthusiasm to properly maintain them. It's sad, very sad.

 

None of my cars are Ferraris but I do keep them in my garage. I have a Dodge Caravan, a Mazda Miata and the Z. All three are always kept in the garage. It just makes sense to me to take care of what you have.

Les

 

People who don't take care of their cars let alone w/e else they own must have mad money to spend on cars and a Z to them is just pocket change.

I know i'll be owning my 350 even when the 500 Z is out.

 

lol ... i love the "its a 30k car, get over it" comments... I don't know about you guys, but 30k is a lot of money for me

 

^^ +1

I worked hard to earn that money, whether it's a car, shoes, clothes, electronics, etc. I like to keep all my posessions cleaned and maintained so it will last longer, look good, and perform as well as the day I took it out of the box. But I'm not those nutjobs that keeps the Z in my garage all week and drive it only on weekends, it's my DD, so I can understand both views, but to say it's just a 30k car? Come on be serious, it doesn't matter how much it costs or whatever it is.

 

Doesn't really matter what it is to me, it's about pride in ownership. I could be 15 ro 16 and have my first beater civic and I'd still be proud as hell and cleaning taking good care of it.

 

This is a good suggestion, and worked well yesterday, thanks for that tid bit. I also tried attacking the pink fortress, hot beef injection, jiggy jiggy, and finally buttering the muffin.

 

IMO, people who say things like its only a 30k car, they are either:

1. Not paying the car themselves
2. Lack the enthusiasm to be a car enthusiast, meaning they only buy the car because it was an impulse moment.

Could be exceptions though.

 

I got my z for 17000 and I am damn proud to have paid it in full on the spot. I saved my *** off to get one of these. I drove a 95 civic since i was 16 and am now 23! I take just as much pride in my old civic as I do my 350z. I agree with most of these guys, take pride in what you own, $20 or $20000 treat your stuff well, it treats you well.
also IMO if you've got 30,000 to burn just PM me and I can definately take that money off your hands.

 

Next best thing to do in an ice/snow storm is take the Z out for a good whipping/drifting cause you will basically be the only car on the road and the COPS wont be able to bother you! haha

 

 

Audi Quattro all the way. Get your cheap RWD car out of your garage and spin some donuts.

 

Wow buddy, don't know where to start... not only are you a noob but my car isn't in the garage read the post. And I think I know all about Audi Quattro seeing how my brother has a 2002 Audi S4 with K04 turbos and H&R Coilovers along with many other mods... idk why your saying **** about Z's being cheap and commenting about Audi's anyway when this is a Z forum.

 

I understand. I know that when it's drizzling out -- like today -- and the car hasn't been washed for a couple weeks, it feels . . . different. The noises are more pronounced, like the squeaks from the plastic. The tires sound different on the road. The car feels a bit off.

But after a nice cleaning, the car feels better. The noises aren't noticeable. The stereo sounds better. The handling feels tighter.

I'm sure it's all in my head, but it does make me feel better.

I should of said it's ready to go to mars!! then you posting would have made crazy sense after the fact. haha

 

No. It's HIS 30k car. And he wants to take car of it. You, leave.
