just bought a 2007 nismo #71 last night. my parents have owned it since 2007 and I always tell them when they go to sell it I want it... well 10 years later the decided to sell it and I jump one the opritunity. So now i own it. It was bought here in Tampa FL and now has 68k miles on it. I need to replace some of the peeling interior pieces and a few other things but she’s still in great shape.

 

Welcome- and take care of that NISMO Z. It's a rare and beautiful car.

 

Dont dugan it

 

Welcome and congratulations!

 

Thanks everyone and I’m not sure what Dugan means.?? Lol

 

Several years ago a young man was trying to impress people with his street-drifting skills. A wooden power pole jumped out in front of him (really the pass side door) and totaled the car.

He survived the accident fortunately and has served as a reminder against street drifting and street racing.

 

Yeah my street racing and street drifting days have been long gone

 

Welcome !

 

It means don't drive like this guy.... BTW Welcome and congrats

 

Not that I condone street racing or anything, but what do ya'll do when a comp-worthy vehicle pulls next to you at a light revving their engine? Just keep looking straight?... Honestly?...

 

put my finger and thumb about an inch apart to remind him of his small dick

 

​​​​​​lol.. Bro, THAT is perfect... But you have a 500hp Vette. You can do that without looking like an *** most of the time..

 

No one DARES do that to me. They know who I am.

And for those that don't, there's usually someone in their car hittin' the driver upside the head going, "Dude, don't!! You know who that is, don't you, ya f**k!!"


But wait, Trav, what happened to your usual defensive line? "1 inch at 100mph gun' tear some shid up!"

 

its 2 inches at 100mph, unless we talking about my car.....then its 60mph in 1st gear

 

Honestly, I simply carry on with my travels and ignore folks that wanna run. They are usually young, and dumb. If I wanna drive hard I go w a group.

I buried 2 friends in high school, many years ago. Out for a good time, thought they were bullet-proof, ( like we all did ar 18 yrs). It left a mark on me that is still with me. I see one's folks at church almost every Sunday.

Every time I see them I get this strong sensation. If their son had survived, he'd be my age.
Creepy, yes. I have a FB sticker on my car to help defray the costs of a funeral for a 24 yr old who died on Hwy 129 (The Dragon) one week after ZDayZ.

I drive my Z in a VERY spirited manner sometimes, and enjoy the h3ll out of it! Within the limits of my car and my skills, I never put anyone else's life in danger, but still have fun!

Enjoy your week and your car, my friend!

Edit- I either smile and thumb-up or ignore.

 

 

lol.. Mic, you're insane.

 

That's cool. I do the same. I have a small group of 6 I try to go out with once a month​​​​​​​. We'll meet up, grab some coffee and talk about where we want to go that day. Then we'll head out and maybe stop for some food on our way back. Some spirited driving, but no racing around. Just enjoying our cars and the company.

I'm sorry to hear that about your friends.. That's never easy to deal with.. Makes one appreciate life a little more and realize that we're not indestructible, at any skill or age level.

I think I remember reading about that accident on here actually. It's admirable how you're trying to muster support too. Good stuff.

Thanks, bud. You do the same.

 

That is awesome.. Then after that. YOU EAT THEM. RAWRRR!
