Campbell, eh? Hmmmm.... might be me. Hahahahaha. I'm just past Hamilton/Bascom on the San Jose side. But always in Campbell for one reason or another. Mostly Sushi Confidential or my sis/bro-in-laws place over near... uhhhh, don't know neighborhood names but a mile behind Capers on Campbell Ave.

Black Niz, Silver '03...in case you do spot me. Ha!

It's so sad that I see so few Zs around here that I get excited when I do see one. But that might be a good thing..... our cars have that elusive quality about them called "rare". Laff....

This morning around 8am on 880 North AND 280 North headed out of Campbell and towards Cupertino.

LeMans Sunset Track Edition with side tint so dark, I couldn't see the driver. Heh heh. Very clean, very nice!

Sweet ride, JE!

Anybody here with what looks like Daytona Blue 370, lowered, exhausted, TE37s in San Jose?

Really sharp Z34 spotted on Hamilton Avenue exit and West on Bascom Ave.

Spotted just before a dark blue (I think) Z33 with aftermarket rear bumper, LED tails and orange antenna ball heading towards 280 on Southwest Expy... also nice. Passing right by my '03 parked in front of the house. (I was behind in our Highlander).

Unusual sitings in my neck of the woods!

Yeah, I get that too. That's why I do the ol' quick hand wave and if they turn to look, THEN I'll give 'em a nod. Heh heh.

Dark grey Z on 280 south yesterday. Exchanged waves before you exited. Nice car indeed.

Kyle, your car is legit, brotha. I see the black 370z from HOC every morning when I head to work. How do you know Anton, btw?

He's dating my girlfriend's cousin, Hannah. Small world. Ed's car is way too nice. I gotta see your car in person also.


Black Z spotted on 880. Flicked my hazards on to say what's up but no response. White Nismo 350z was behind me on Montague Expressway. My bad for revving at you. I was just excited to see another Nismo hahaha. I just happened to see a drift spec white 240 near us also.

OK, I'll try this again.... sigh. It seems that the Z's I see are not forum people but I'll give it one more try since this car was spotted on "MY" hills route....my backyard as it were. Laff.

Today, 8/26 about 11:30am-noon, black Z33 - very low and wide was all I could see in the .5 second I saw it heading opposite direction on Hwy 9 coming up the backside towards Hwy 35 junction and direction of Saratoga.

Now of course, as it's seemingly always the case, I'm not in ANY of my Z's so you probably didn't notice the "gentleman in the top-down Mercedes Roadster", ahem. Hmmmph.

Hahhahahahahahahahahaaaa.... that's what I hate about that car! It's SOOOOO "not me"!

To the guy driving the Silver G35 with factory wing driving on Bascom Avenue near Pruneyard on Sunday 8/12/18 Evening:

STOP DRIVING LIKE AN A$$WAD ON THE STREET AND FOR GAWDSAKES PUT ON SOME MUFFLERS!!!

I, nor anyone else, was impressed. On the contrary...

It's your type that makes all of us Z/G owners all look like idiots.

Idiot. Grow up.
