Default Rantings Of A Sick Mind ? Or The Joy Of Zness

Just spent the weekend at Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast. Slow start when State Police shadowed me for the first 20 miles through the coast range. Then he turned off. But, AHA !, his buddy was waiting about 10 miles down the road. A coincidence ?

New spectator sport or at least one that I have just discovered. Park your new 350Z in front of the town square in Cannon Beach, (or cool location of your choice) get a good cup of coffee (or beverage of choice) and go sit on a bench about 30 yards away and watch people go nutZ over your Z. I may have a sick mind, but the joy of watching people is probably worth the $$ over sticker that I paid.

Drove back over the hill this AM. Wet highway slowed me down a littlte. But, hold 3rd (AT) gear at 55-60 and then insert foot to pass and it is shear joy. 90 comes on unbelievably fast and smoothl

Enjoy

That's great until they start smearing their hands all over it and breathing on your windows. Then you have to put down your coffee and tell them to get away from your ride.

That's what the panic button on the keyless remote is for.

Hey, I knew that Panic Button was good for something. One more additional joy to the sport of ZWATCHERWATCHING. We'll have to refine our skills and perhaps have a contest for the greatest ZWATCHERWATCHING, perhaps videos would be appropriate.

Keep on Z'n

Glad you like your car. In answer to your question, no, but calling a 350z a 350ZX is basis for extreme flaming. Better grab a firesuit...

I love people-watching and playing silly tricks/games like this! What a good idea. lol (this crap is why I got a degree in psychology)

Take a camera next time!

That's exactly what I was thinking. If I get a chance this weekend maybe I'll try it at a local coffee shop that has outside tables. I'll bring my camera and see what I can come up with.
