alright, another Beach member. Nice car collection. I have seen a few Chrome Silver z's on the road and my Silverstone. Have you seen any other colors around? In what area of VB do you live?

Man, I forgot to check back with this thread. Here are the answers to the past questions. Sorry for the delay.

No, I'm not a car dealer, I'm just an engineer who loves cars. My wife, dogs and baby boy all love cars too.

I don't believe in windows. I like my privacy. Actually, you don't see any windows in the picture because the ceiling in my garage is 12" high. I hope to purchase a lift this winter to regain some of my space and to make working on my cars a bit easier.

I live in LagoMar, which is out toward SandBridge. I'd love to get together with other 350Z owners in the area. I've seen another CS that must live close to me, one black, one PPW, and one redline. E-mail me if you are interested.

I'm seriously considering putting the NISMO kit (sans the rear spoiler) on my Z. I'm currently feeling out the bleeding edge guys that have already done it before dropping coin on it. Any opinions?

BTW, I just sold the Durango. I'm not sure yet what kind of SUV I might buy to replace it though. Murano??? Nah, too small for me. Cayenne?? Yea Right!

Being an engineer you must have figured out how to build that shrinking ray from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"! I personally think that a 12' garage ceiling would be much more user friendly, especially with a lift inside...lol. :P

Just had to give you a hard time,

So uh, where exactly do you live? and whats the security code to your alarm system?

JK man, nice lineup.

heres mine:

Jaguar xk120
Honda S2000
Custom Extremeliner
1940 Ford coupe (hardtop)
1940 Ford coupe (ragtop)
Shelby Cobra
Nissan FairladyZ TT (custom orange ext. blue/grey int.)
Jaguar XJ220
Nissan Skyline GT-R SpecV
Nissan 300zx 2+2

(Note: thank rick moranis for letting me borrow his shrinking ray since now all these cars reside in my room at 1:24th their original size)

and then out in the garage is a full sized 350Z.

Who took that photo? What kind of camera? Has any filters been applied? Given its a low-res pic, the colors and details are amazing.

I agree. No green cast from the fluro, and no hotspot from a fash.
Great pic.

I always wonder why people back into their garage or parking spot. Either way you are backing up, whether its into or out of.

Are you asking me or chazzg? If you are asking me it's from a 3 year old Kodak 265.

Actually, they are both backed in just for the pic. Usually I have the SLK backed in and the Z in nose first. This is so I can put the passenger sides very close together and have plenty of room to open the drivers doors to get the cars in and out. Make sense?
