What's with the sticker on the center panel? A little ricy to me.

I agree. It means park...his last name. It's the emblem to his shop...Powertrix. So I guess it's advertising as well as meaning but I'm not a fan.

I think it is bad..but it's his car. For me I like the clean look. No stickers, no nothing...except paint, maybe clear lenses, and maybe jspec tails. Other than that...forget about it!

Well, the Z is a classy car in itself. There's things that you can do that add to it and things you can do that ruin that level of class.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I love my Z, but I don't know if I'd call it an exotic. It's near top of a list of high performance sportscars, but I would not put in the same category as a McLaren F1, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, etc.

I selectively pick out screw ups and make sure I let people know.

I get asked all the time what it is, but nobody's ever asked if it was a Ferrari, or anything like that. I had one toothless redneck ask what it was, and when I told him, he leaned over and told his other toothless redneck friends, "See, I told you it was one a those Mitsuhachi things." I had a couple brainless wonders ask me if it had "push button turbo." I was speechless. I could only say, "Um, no, it's on all the time." Further proof that people are stupid.

haha...yea a girl thought it had a turbo button and swore that they were in a car once that had one. I've had a guy come up to me and ask me if that was a Ferrari, when I said no, he asked "lamborghini?" I said it was a 300zx turbo...he didn't understand until I said Nissan...

You know, we could put a button in our cars and label it Turbo. You don't need to hook it to anything. People wouldn't know the difference. I'm sure ricers do it all the time. Guaranteed 15 HP.

It was a like a '98-'99 Blue Civic, right? I've seen that car. The license plate read "ILVRICE".
