I dig the ZRX. I looked hard at a 99 1100 but ended up not getting it back in the day. Nice bike. My father owns it's grandpa so I've always dug on them.

The R1? Meh....they're ok.
We'll have to go for a spin one day either on 2 or 4......or 1 if you're so inclined.

I got my resonated test pipes today! Muahahahahaha!

STFU or I'll stuff a potato in your bumper duct...

I hear it's supposed to be pretty warm tomorrow, so I might actually clean out my garage a little bit.

Hey guys, surfed in here wanting to find a 350z board after seeing a guy get snagged in Eagan last night. My wife and I were driving to the Eagan community center where there is an indoor playground for our 3-year-old son. As I'm heading west on Lone Oak Road approaching the light for Pilot **** an (Eagan I think) cop is trailing me a bit. A few hundred feet from the intersection (I had the red light) a light-colored (silver maybe?) 350z turning right from Pilot **** onto Lone Oak to head toward 35E comes around the corner and kicks the tail out into a half power slide, gathers it up quickly, and then rather than accelerate, sees the cop trailing me and hits the brakes.

He passes by me and in my rearview mirror, I see the cop do a quick U-turn and accelerate hard to catch up. As Rainman would say..... "uhhh ooh....".

I've done enough dumb stuff like that on my own so I'm not here to pass judgement, just wondered if it was one of you and hopefully you didn't get nailed for a reckless driving ticket.

I do have to say though, really sucked to pull off that maneuver right in front of a cop. Talk about the wrong place at the wrong time!

Why, whats the point really? so somebody probably just took there Z out and got a little to aggressive around a corner, while I don't condone his/her's action it happens to the best of us.I don't think rubbing it in and stating their down falls helps, I am sure he or she realizes that was bad timing/judgment. I own a magnetic black Z.

Nice first post, I guess. As was stated before, we all do dumb things during exciting, adrenaline fed times. I know I have.

Was it really worth registering just to post that? I see Bimmers and other fun cars do stupid stuff all the time, but I surely don't go to that site and post about it. C'est la vie.

I wanted to post and ask whether the guy got out of it, not to rub it in. You both obviously fail at reading comprehension because I did make a point to state that I have done stupid things such as this and was in no way trying to point the finger at this guy. If anything I wondered if the cop was cool about it, a jerk, or somewhere in between. I am NOT one of those people that insists on nagging about "save it for the track" and other car message board catchphrases around situations like this. We have fun in our cars and unfortunately it came at bad time for this guy.

As I said, I was in my car with my wife and 3-year-old son. This guy gathered it up nicely and I did not feel endangered by his episode in any way, so my hat's off to him for being a competent driver.

Does that offer enough proof that I'm not here to berate this guy or do you two still wish to nail me to the cross for my first post? Sheesh.

C'mon guys knock it off! From my reading his posts it didnt seem like he registered to ragg on a 350z owner. Seems like he was just curious if the driver was an owner registered here and how it all turned out.

Sorry that's not how I took it. With the owned sign, and I thought it was just point less/stupid to ask. I mean come on now, what was supposed to happened that the guy or girl was actually going to admit to it sure.
