OK here we go.



Now is going to be one of my more passionate posts...be WARNED!  Foul language will be afoot.

I am probably one of the biggest 280ZX fans you will ever come close to.  This is my actual car above...not a great pic...but she is bad ass anyhow.  Not the fastest car on the road, but certainly one of the more fun to drive.

Background:
My dad owns a 1961 Corvette...he has owned it since I was 12.  When we drove that car around...ALL other corvette owners, new and old...showed respect and waved.  Some would stop and talk to us about the car, it is a beautiful car and will be running looooong after any Corvette made since 1984.

My ZX:
People who know of the ZX but don't own one...talk to me all the time...and I admit...I like it..Nice to get some attention from a car that deserves it...All these rice burners may look fast and have cool paint jobs, but they still nod, or at least look at it with some envy.
To the new 350 and 370ZX drivers who refuse to acknowledge it...FUCK YOU ALL!!
My car may not be worth $45,000 and may not be as fast...but i guarantee you my car will still be running while that piece of shit new 350 or 370 will be in a junk yard!
I don't want them to fawn all over my car...I am realistic about this...But if I wave to you, don't snub your nose up like I am driving some piece of shit Gremlin...it is the roots of where your car came from!
There are so few of the 1984-2003 300's on the road...you may ask yourself, why.
I still see 240's 260's and 280's  Because they are built right!

Yes I am over the top about this car...it is one of my major passions, I have loved the 280ZX since the day I saw one in the advertisement of my dad's hidden Penthouse magazine when I was 13.

All I ask for is a two finger wave at the least...just acknowledge that you know your roots!!!!!

Sad thing is...people who drive them probably don't even care about the history of this car...pffft whatever.

New ZX owners need to take lessons from the Corvette people.

  1. I was told by a close friend that I sound like a teenager all excited about their car. I am.
    And I like the fact that as old as i am I still get excited about my car.
