I just bought my Z about a month and a half ago. I had a question about the name of the car. Most Z's that I see have "350Z" written on the rear. My car says FairladyZ on the back and I was curious if this was something the previous owner had added as a customization or if it was actually a line of the 350Z's. Any thoughts?

 

yeah, they bought a badge... congrats

You are lucky my dear sir!

 

Congratulations on the car. It will run the same with or without the emblem.

 

Thanks! That answers everything! Now I can tell my friends to stop making fun of the emblem on the back.

 

ironic u were shy about the whole fairlady thing in the back of ur car, yet u are not afraid of having it as ur username prior to knowing what it meant
lawl
i think u my friend, really are a fairlady

 

Haha. That's funny. Actually, before I bought the Z, I had remembered seeing someone else's name on here as FairladyZ and I thought I would steal their username because it was definitely a defining part of my vehicle. I actually was beginning to realize that it was not an emblem for a woman driver of the Z before I asked you all. Recently, someone told me about it relating to Japanese sports cars marketed in the U.S., but I figured you guys could clear it up once and for all. I'm not a fairlady, though. Sorry to disappoint you.
