pre-orders, old-schoolers, and twinturbo.net'ers
 

Do ya'll remember when Jay had this forum and thinking "my350z.com" is a TERRIBLE name...... but it was one of the only resources on the web for "the new Z car"... now the name is common place and not even questioned. I remember thinking Twinturbo.net is a WAY better quarter window sticker than My350z.com.... LOL

and then all the drama when Taka (or Taco or whomever purchased the site?) ... those were good times..... frantically refreshing the page for new info on the teaser shot that nissan released.... turned out to be a rear tailight/quarter panel.

Like many here in the past, I'm on one of many Z cars in my history, this being my 4th, and I'm hoping to get as excited about the next one. I'm also hoping for another factory forced induction car, while I love my 350z's.... the twin turbo 300's where my two favorites, possibly because I was in college and anyone that drove a supercar in colege can tell you... it didn't suck. (for those who just prepositioned themselves to hate, I earned it... while going to school and working, if you feel called out by the context of my parentheses, YOU are what's holding you back, not me..... whom you don't even know)

Anyway, just thinking back to some of the roots of the board, and people coming over from tt.net and what not.... before the 4chanesque flaming and holier than thou attitudes. I actually found help here today.... maybe that's what got me thinkin back.

anyway..... if your old school, let your freak flag fly. (no offence to those who truly make me look young, I never had a Z when pubes where stylish)

You have been here since Jesus was a Corporal.

I would welcome you back, but you never left. Congrats for being the original founding member.

Speaking of old things.............does anyone remember "Crystal Guard". They used to hawk that wax on this site in the beginning.

old thingz, the 300zx still lives on ask josh at z1, or rich at rdz300, parts are still being developed and are giving the 350z a run for its money at every road course, dyno and on occasion the 1/4mile

The true original founding members have "Charter Member #xx" as the title under their name. Those are the guys who put up money to Jay and were ultimately ripped off when he sold the site. For example... https://my350z.com/forum/members/128-dr-bonz.html ... Dr Bonz was #19

The site owner was the US distributor for CG, that's why you saw the ads all the time.

you are a certified OG. good luck with your growing Z collection.

Man, so much has happened over the years. I wasn't here for all of it, but I definitely remember a lot of it. Things were definitely more interesting in the good old days...

I am a creature of habit and hated having to move from TT.net to here! I actually went back on TT.net not that long ago and laughed to myself about how much better this site is.

I really shouldn't post drunk...

I started out over at Zcar.com, then came over to My350z.com. It was February 2002. In May, they moved to a new server or something so everyone had to reregister. I didn't reregister till June, though.

Not as old school as some of you guys, but getting there...


VO(checking in)

These old timer threads no longer have much momentum because there are so few of us left now, and this is prolly the last post in here. :(

Classic
 

Love this site. Came over from 300zxclub.com.

Still haven't found a Z yet

I came over from twinturbo, and I resisted this site because of the name and the teens. But it is one of the better forums for 350z info.

^ What are the other better ones for 350Z info? :D

Bc there layout sucks.

It was pretty cool 6 years back when everything was still pretty exciting. TT'ers ala Big Bri w/ the inflated numbers from Scotts Performance, Alberto w/ his cool vids, and 5xx to the wheel w/ this car was just insane. NA cats like Andy from performance were scooping up sales in socal and Status was the place for wheels for a deal. Helpful Socaler's like The Tech and Chebesto always had lots of advice and the hellaflushness was reserved for the chrysler 300's.
Then it went downhill when shops started to go bad and things got a little political w/ the erasing of valuable posts by members that didnt get what they paid for...and as soon as the site was sold there are so many advertisements now that litter the pages, I can barely navigate. But I loved it. - there was drama, bling, and some cool meets for sure.

I was not a member in the beginning, but a visitor for a while, but I sure can remember things in Post #18. And Post #4, yes I remember that too. Also I road in BB's car, which I had seen him at Scott's Performance way back. Yes things were really busy back then. So many of the ones I knew are now gone other directions.
Myself: "Long Live the Z". I'll always have to have a Z as it's been my favorite car from the beginning.

I have been a member of tt.net since 98 lol. I a was actually seriously considering going back to a 300. Twin turbos are addicting.....and i already tried it on my 350z with no luck.
