Default Great pic VQracer!

I'd just like to suggest one thing...this pic would be even better if it weren't so freaking huge! Benefits: we want to see your smiling face (oh...and the car), not the ceiling; I don't know about you, but I like pictures to fit on my screen all at once...I hate scrolling side to side and piecing it together in my head; I'm on a dialup, and this thread takes about one minute to load...AHHHHHH!; it's just better for the server and bandwidth and all the other viewers to use images that are as small as possible...I'm not saying make it tiny...I took your photo and scaled, cropped and compressed it and am attaching it below. It is about one tenth the size of the original! I'm not telling you how to post pics, just some friendly advice...

P.S. If you don't have the software to do this feel free to email anything to me and I'd be happy to help.

VQ if that is really you, you better carry a photo ID with you cause every cop that pulls you over to check out your Z is gonna ask you what middle school you belong to and who you stole the car from. Not flaming man, but you look REALLY young!

Also, I love pics of people defying rules! I take them of myself evey chance I get. Way to "stay off the turntable"!!!

Lucky you VQ! I grew up in New Jersey, so I couldn't even get my license until I was 17. Even then, I was forced to drive a 7 year old VW Rabbit.

Are your parents going to pay for the new Z or help you pay for it like a downpayment then you make payments? Im just curious if my parents are just mean to me b/c they aren't paying a cent for my car, its all up to me. What is going to kill me is the insurance, im sure you're familar with insurance rates on a teen, esp a boy. May g-d give me the strength to make money.

No offense to you but I think that might be the best picture of a 350 Z I've seen yet. The paint on that show car is better looking than any production street car I've ever seen in public.

That's the lighter silver right? I can't decide between that color and the blue.

That's a muy expensive custom paint job. The chrome silver paint on the real cars won't look like that.

I think everyone would choose that colour if it were on option. I ordered my Silverstone based on that paint job, and then about a month ago I was told that paint job was custom.

So a couple of weeks ago, I got my order changed to Daytona Blue.

Default the paint job

I ordered silverstone because I knew the production silver wouldn't look like the show car.

I thought a darker mettalic grey (which silverstone appears to be) will look better in a more pedestrian production pain job...

Default Color

Im also stuck between the silver and the daytona blue. My dad had the old 79 280zx in daytona blue and the hood of the car was grey and that car was tight. Thats why im waiting after the car comes out to buy my Z. I rather see the color in person, pictures don't do it any justice. [B] ALSO , what the hell are kick plates?[B] Its a stupid question i know, but I never know the easy question answers, just the ones that take a page and a half to figure out.
