my new toy...

09'Z28 · 03-03-2008, 11:33 PM

well its got T-Tops, a rear Hatch, and a V6, any guesses what kind of car it is? it's a Nissan 300zx, i know you guys were thinking Camaro but no... i need something that gets fairly good mileage and the worst part is, I have to stop giving ricers $hit cause i've got one now.

I'll post some pics later this week after i clean her up

What year? I almost bought a 300ZX many years ago. I really liked the older body style. I tried and tried to get my neighbor to sell me his gold ZX....it was sweeeeet...t-tops and all.

Congrats.

(not a pic of mine but same exact body style only mines white, sorta)

09'Z28 · 03-04-2008, 02:24 AM

*Mindz* · 03-04-2008, 04:16 AM

I want to preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I am not a judgemental person nor do I have any hate for imports... I am an import owner and daily drive a Civic Si.

you do know that an LS1/T56 Camaro gets better gas mileage than that car, dont you?

09'Z28 · 03-09-2008, 03:11 AM

ya but i can't get one of those for the same price(which as far as the DMV is concerned is a dollar) plus the tach and speedo are more futuristic that a camaro's, i'll get a picture tomorrow

09'Z28 · 03-09-2008, 09:28 PM

Here's the "futuristic" Tach and Speedo

*Mindz* · 03-09-2008, 09:58 PM

Sounds like a fun toy. My buddy cruises around in his 3 FC's all for a different purpose. The whole late 80's futuristic craze (Knight Rider especially) was kinda cool in a way.

09'Z28 · 03-09-2008, 10:21 PM

ya the dash and 7 seat buttons are gonna take getting used to
