...you're a Z owner when....

You have a six speed gear tree burnt into your right palm from driving in the summer.


You were willing to spend another 2 grand, because "yours" came with 800 dollar brembo brakes from the factory.


You have actually made somone "have" to use the bathroom by riding with you.


you know what JWT popcharger means without google


you have actually been punished by your car for buying cheep parts.


you can ride in your friends modified evo and be amazed at how quite and comfortable it is, to the blank stares he gives you.


your cars ride position and seat belt has actually stopped you from kissing a woman riding with you. (the Z is a jealous lover)


8whp gains for less than 500 dollars give you a semi.


you have an extra pair of Rays ultralight rims in the garage, that you would happily trade for a set of tires.


driving 500 miles in a car that seat that doesn't recline is not a big deal.


you have received a ticket for going 80, and all you could think was ... "I was only in third gear"

You are worried every time you roll down that window at the drive thru that it might not go back up.

When you drive an extra few miles just to get on the freeway.

When you love to go to LA Fitness and know hot chicks walking out of the gym sees you getting out.

When you volunteer to be the gofer just so you can drive your Z

When you get asked almost everyday if someone can take your car out for a spin at your job.

When you want to keep your Z as a toy, but buy a G37 as the grocery shopping car.

oh so true, I got two of them two years ago, had them painted to match the car but I'm still not done thinking about installing or not. I still haven't convinced myself yet.

...it's more like "refueling" your oil than changing it.
...your friends can't understand why you're buying new rear tires every 3 months and new fronts once a year.
...you think your car has so much left to be done to look decent, but kids and random people throughout your day constantly stare/compliment it.
...you have a budget and spending plan to finance your attendance and participation in car meets, car shows, and track events (and would be shot if your wife ever saw the details).
...the people that you know are broken into these categories - A) went to school together, B) work/worked together, C) family, or D) like going fast.

After having your '06 bought back, and having your '08 totalled, you hope that you can still get a new '08 350Z in '09.

Having your ______ (you insert here wife/girlfriend/friend/momz,etc here) constantly saying "SLOW DOWN".

Having other 350Z owners wave to you while driving and trying to wave back fast enough so they can see you without losing control of your Z.

Keeping up on what Z events are going on so that you can learn more about and see other cool Z's.

Figuring out how to get rid of your modded Z's CEL.

Constantly monitoring your oil dipstick.

Never leaving the my350Z Forums because of mechanical issues with your Z but you still love it anyway!

Your household has a Z and a much more practical car but you still take the Z on roadtrips.

You walk through large parking lots thinking "my car is the sweetest ride here."

You considered going with a blacked out theme.

When you cant wait to read the new posts on this forum,when you rather spend money on your car than your woman,when you stare at your car like its a naked women,when you hear something outside at night and the first thing you look at is your car,when the thrill of driving it hard is worth the ticket...........

When you have to check your dip stick about 20 times, give up, and pray to god that you/manufacturer filled up 5 qts...

After oil change you check the oil pressure guage hoping it will tell you how much oil you put in

^ +76... to be exact XD

Edit: I thought that said 10mi. It's definitely probably a helluva whole lot more than 76 in a 100mi radius LoL
