its cool!!!! I had to haul 4 19" wheels with tires mounted this past weekend and yea it was no fun. I guess sports cars are ment to be impractical, if it wasnt then it wouldnt be a sports car.

 

Yep, if you want to haul stuff, That's what vans and Mini vans are for. Want speed from a sports car...........You got it! :-)

 

BoostTed, thanks for telling something that we don't know.

 

if u didnt notice the post was not meant to be serious, and i guess the same with urs.

 

it wasn't. no flaming intended.

 

in that case no flame taken

 

I love this quote...

"Trucks are made for haulin' ****, sports cars are made for haulin' ***!"

(Sorry for the bleeps, but I'm only quoting. lol)

 

Speaking of haulin' ****, here is the story of the word .
In the 16th and 17th centuries, before commercial
fertilizer was
invented,
large shipments of manure were transported by ship. It
was shipped in
dry
bundles because in dry form it weighed a lot less than
when wet. But
once
water hit it at sea, it not only became heavier, but
the process of
fermentation began, a by-product of which is methane
gas. It didn't
take
long for methane to build up below decks and the first
time someone
came
below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before
somebody figured out
what
was happening. Once they determined the role that
manure played in the
explosions, everybody began stamping the bundles with
the term "Ship
High In
Transit," so that the sailors would know to stow it
high enough off the
lower decks so that any water that came into the hold
would not touch
this
volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T," which has come down
through the
centuries
and is in use to this very day. You probably did not
know the true
history
of this word.

 

Yep. folks that buy Z's should do so with both eyes wide open. I know when my street floods this winter, the Z stays in the garage. And i'm not going to get rid of my pickup any time soon.

 

It still has plenty of room for your overnight luggage!

 

Wow, that is interesting, I like the history and origins of words....

 

If you like the TRUE history of words you can forget this clever fiction. It is not true.

Thanks for the clarification, Andy.

Good link.

 

I had heard the same EXACT story regarding the origin of S**T. I failed to truly believe it then. I guess I can go ahead and disregard it all together now.

Thanks for clearing that one up AndyB. I have been thinking about that for some time now.

Any other cool curse word origins?

 

FINALLY! Someone who realizes this is a sports car and not a god damn family sedan. Thank you Boosted, you've restored my faith in new 350z owners. I was getting worried for a while. All these panzies posting "the rides too harsh, my butt hurts" BOO HOO HOO

 

Z's impractical hmmmm... I lug 6 bowling ***** to tournaments in my Z.... With my clothes and other things, fits snug...


About that story of the word **** .....Some of you guys are so gullible, I cant believe yall believe that shi*.......

 

interesting. so where does "f**k" come from (i think i may have heard before but can't remember).

 

why thank you! if i need to carry people or comfort i'll take out my G35 sedan. You know whats funny is that it was the harsh ride that sold me on the car. When i was looking to buy one i finally decided to test drive one, it was an auto so i had more time to concentrate of the other aspects of the car. Got the car on the freeway and i was like goddamn this car is stiff for stock....SOLD!

 

Did you end up buying auto or MT?

 

MT of course they didnt have any MT on the lot so i had to test drive a Auto.
