O.K., so it's Father-in-law's birthday last night...We all meet up @ Red Lob...(not MY 1st choice....) K's Uncle, F.I.L's twin bro, sez: "Hey, you got to check out my new car..."

& what is the car?

That's right.....a 350Z....silver touring.....

What is my car?.....(see above!)

He's drivin my ish!

O.K., so he has the nav, MT, & 18's.....
Now he wants the pop charger....

I was so happy, I got sideways comin outta the parkin lot behind him.
Who needs traction control anyhow!

I guess it's all in (wait for it...) "Z" Family.

 

[jinxxycat]

That is so friggin cool! I wish my brother would get a 350Z....well, actually, bad idea, that'd be another Z in the graveyard....I wish my DAD would get a 350Z! HeeHee

Guess your family has GREAT taste!!! Now get out there and school the ol fool! LOL

 

[DiRN]

That's really cool. My Z has convinced my cousin to get a sports car, but I don't think she'll get a Z.

My dad would love a Z. I've even tried to sell him mine so I can unload the sh!tty-matic. But he lives in Syracuse where the Z would be horrible in the winter. And he believes in only owning a daily driver. Oh well

 

[SCDOO 2]

That's awesome. Now you'll have great time at family gatherings.

 

[JTS2005]

nice, now you guys can work on the car together and get ideas for mods to!! be sure to tell him to register here

re: the sh!tty-matic...Well, DiRn, it DID get the Wifey into a sportscar! Guess I'll just have to buy a stickalicious one for the track....($!?)

I'm sure, since Uncle heard the POP, he'll be over wanting me to do the install for him. I do covet his Nav unit.....I've got to get him some links....here, JWT,....

& we did have a little family carshow at the Lob....Our Z & Uncle's, Bro -in-law's 3 day-old mazda 3, Auntie's '00 'vette....all parked side by side, hatches open....bumpin tunes on the Blowze...

Man, I lucked out with this bunch...(not that I didn't kiss a few frogs on the way...)

 

[jinxxycat]

It's great when you have in-laws you actually LIKE! I lucked out too, dad-in-law is a sports car enthusist BIG TIME, and has a Harley that he takes me for rides on. It's funny b/c every time we add something to the Z, he has to come by and see!!! (they live 5 mins away)....

 

[smoothz]

That is way cool. I can't think of anybody off the top of my head that is related to me and has a sportscar. Does a Miata count? Not! Does a '64 Impala count?

Yesterday, my son again told Mom that the Z needed new wheels and tires (not at my suggestion, either). We asked him why, and he said, "Because I want to pump up the Z." He's 4.

 

[jinxxycat]

That is KILLER Smooth! Priceless, betcha you wished you had a vid camera on hand! What a hoot--you better look out b/c he'll be old enough to drive in NO TIME! LOL On Zchickz we call new wheels/tires "new sneakers or shoes" When I got my new rims/rubber my bosses 6 year old daughter was here at the office for a day. I told her my Lucy got new shoes....now she calls all wheels for all cars "shoes"! She goes around telling her daddy "Lucy got neeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww shooooooooooooooesssssssss!" (Yes both his daughters know she is "Lucy" and not a car!)

 

[lionkiller]

The kids are a kick:

My 2 y/o grandson looks at my camaro, says: "Vroom, Vroom..."

Not looking for life to get much better than that....well I'd like to see his Daddy (my Son) gainfully employed....so he can finish building up his Jetta 1.8T.

My Pop sold sportscars for a while....Mom drove a TR-4 till she spun it out.

My Stepdad drove a Miata (& loved it) for 10 or so yrs. He traded it for an S2000 year before last. I drove both of those cars & wasn't particularly impressed. Miata's woefully underpowered....& the S2K is a Civic till you get past 4 grand on the tach. Can't wait till he drives the 'Z'....that's spelled: t-o-r-q-u-e, Dave.

[Richard 350z]

My boss, a 58-year-old senior partner and the best lawyer I ever met (the firm gets $625 an hour for his services) took one look at my '03 Silverstone Track, and went out and bought an '04 Silverstone Enthusiast.

 

[jinxxycat]

That is pretty cool Richard! Yep, the Z's are addicting!

And DiRN I saw that pic of the camaro and thought of ya! LOL

 

[DiRN]

Haha. I was looking at them on autotrader last night jinxx. Vettes too. I found the perfect C5. I couldn't give up the Z though. And I don't think I should be paying for 2 cars every month. Haha. I probably couldn't get it financed either

Yeah, some good can come out of them. I have nothing against automatics. I just happen to particularly dislike the sh!tty-matic. There were a bunch of factors that led to me getting it, and I wish I hadn't listened to them. Haha
