Talking My new 04 is a HOOT to drive

This thing is almost as much fun to drive as my CBR 954

looks good, but IMO the 2 silvers and the white do nothing for the car.. All the chrome accents just blend in and looks so plain. I wouldn't of gotten a Z if I had to get a silver, too boring.. No offense at all intended, just my opinion and many of my friend's opinion.

Geez, what a bunch of nay-sayers.

Congrats on the car; it looks great. Nice photo of the Zzzz against the Cali coast as well.

Your friends just told you what you want to hear. I've never had a friend come up to me and say my Silverstone looks plain. In fact, they all think the Blue isn't as nice looking as Silvers (the Salesman said that too when I was making a decision whether to go for Blue or Silverstone). No offense intended.

There are too many Silverstones in the Bay Area.

Damn, I enjoyed the pic almost as much as the car!. I've had family around Aptos/Santa Cruz since the quake back in 1984 (??).

I know you will be enjoying it out there! Congrats.

LOL.. No need to get defensive, everybody has there own opinions.. And who are you to tell me what my friends are saying to me? My friends are the type that will tell you exactly what’s on their minds, I don't hang out with yes-men.. Not many around like that here in Boston anyway..

You like what you like, I like what I like.. No color is particularly better, it's usually the conservative people that get the whites and silvers. I prefer colors, some cars look better with certain colors, IMO the Z looks bland with silver (more so CS then SS). Also 3/4 ths of all 350z's I have seen on the streets were silvers, they just blend into traffic.

My color list goes like this:
Favorite-least Favorite :
Daytona Blue
Black
Red
Lemans Sunset
Brick
Silverstone
White
Chrome silver

Judging by your comments your the conservative type and your list probably looks opposite then mine. Also what did you expect the saleman to say to you?

Don't get me wrong...I think Blue is a nice color. It's probably the 2nd color I would pick after Silverstone. I don't hang out with Yes-men neither. You're right....ppl like what they like. As long as you're happy seeing it, driving it and detailing it.
I told the salesman I like both colors (50/50) and he gave me his personal preference and I think I made a right choice. My initial comment was there are just too many SS in the bay area.

Brian, I think SB suits you better since you only come out at night. Whenever I need your help I'll just turn on the bat signal.

954 are plain, Z is "more" fun to drive than your CBR954.
j/k, congrats.

Now chicks will no longer complain about wind messing up their makeup.

Get a SB, that's the closest thing to Brickyard right now.
