C'mon, you never played Gran Turismo?

Reese

No, I have played several racing games but never Gran Turismo...is it a good game? I personally don't care for the Fairlady name....cause i think she is much better than Fair.

Reese

Reese, the "fair" doesn't refer to its performance; it refers to how beautiful this car is. It comes from "My Fair Lady", which, of course, is the original "Pretty Woman".

Interesting read. Thanks 2003z.

Reese

Yeah thanks man! New found respect for the name now. I was just thinking it was some new slang someone came up with. Forgive me for not knowing, my first Z was just bought last Saturday so i don't know alot about the history. Thanks again!

I didn't know the name had that much history on it. I just knew it was the JDM name. Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
