I know, I know. I was a bit outta line with my posts, but I didn't take it as far as insulting his car until he bashed the 300. Paybacks are a bitch. I was looking to have a little fun with IZ, and I did. Somebody needed to come along and knock him off his high horse, so I did. He rubbed me the wrong way in another post, so I returned the favor. I agree that we're here to learn about how to improve our Z's, etc. I don't think we've lost anything by IZ leaving the forum. He's a little too arrogant for my liking. I'm actually a very calm person unless someone pushes my buttons. He did, and that's what happens. I look forward to helping others out with their Z problems as they come up. The 350 and the 300 are in fact comparable automobiles. The Z06 is an amazing car BTW. I haven't had a chance to run with one, and I really don't know how it would turn out.

 

Thanks for manning up 91. And I bet we'll see IZ back. If not, then that's a lack of class and I dont think he has that much of a lack of class. So, IZ, if you read this....you're welcome to come back, just exercise class. This is for everyone, not just IZ, but remember, the Z is a classy car, why should we, as owners, lack class?

 

I'm wondering........

where's the forum moderator during all this?

 

Where is the forum moderator ever?!

 

exactly my point

 

BTW, I have visited Corvette forums in the past. My observation is those guys are much worse! They bash each other if the other guy doesn't have $50,000 invested in his car. They trash talk every other car and truck including Chevys. They are hateful old men. Once in a while someone would ask them to calm down a bit but most of them were just very bitter and obviously rich...

 

I think he was referring to those who pay the 50-60K for a new one then put another 50K into it. That IS rich. But who cares about finances. Even if there are some ****** out there, that doesn't cahnge that the Z06 is an awesome car. There are quite a few Z33 owners out there that are ******. The important thing is none of you are any of them...right?

 

I agree on all levels of that previous statement.

 

ya, I suppose the term rich is debatable. There are many people who think someone is rich who owns their own running vehcile... or even two cars! wow! ...much less a car that costs over $5,000.

Honestly, I couldn't afford a brand new base model Sentra at this point. Some of my friends don't even have a car or a good job. They think I'm rich because I've got multiple running vehicles and my own house.

 

Talk about lowering your expectations/standards!

 

Ya, but to the majority...being able to throw down over 100K $ on a car classifies someone as at least wealthy. They at least have some extra money laying around.

 

yeah but i've also seen people with brand new escalades 22" chrome rims and tv screens everywhere living pretty much in a trailor....i mean i know i don't have much money now, but it's ok i am in school, i have two cars (which i am gonna sell one of them to put a tt engine in my Z) and a few extra bucks to go out and have fun. i know i can't afford to shell out 50k on a car and i am fine with it... just some people have no prioroties in their lives. they would rather have a pimped out ride and live in a dump than have a nice place and a diecent ride, but everybody is different and that's what makes this world the way it is

 

I was driving around town a few months ago and I saw something I couldn't believe. There was a brand new Malibu Skier ($40k-$50k depending on options) in the driveway of the biggest pile of **** mobile home. This mobile was at least 30 years old. A single wide. On jack stands. Looks like it was last painted in the Eisenhower ERA by Stevie Wonder. You just need to wonder how someone could feel right about buying a $40k boat and parking it in front of a $4 house.

 

welfare checks are getting larger...

 

Crap, that makes me mad to even think that some lazy shmuck is using my tax $ for something besides necessities. I mean someone besides Bush using my tax $ that way. Our government assisted income programs are so screwed up (welare, social security, medicare, unemployment, etc).

 

Well, it happens all the time. I'm sure you witnessed at school, but people don't use their financial aid for school items most of the time. I've seen guys buy cars, phones, TVs, a bunch of stuff that isn't school related. That's why I'm a republican. Who knows how to spend my money better? me or someone on welfare?

 

it's bad to see things like that happen.. i mean how lazy are you that you can't get a job. i would just feel worthless if someone else was feeding my kids ( if i had kids) while i sit on my *** collecting checks and buying things i shouldn't be buying in the first place

 

They don't.

 

Many do though! The system is broken.

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it.



Ohh...wait....

 

Yep, exactly!

 

Is it just me or is this thread witness to the title of the thread? There's one Z33 owner that posted that's still on this forum (91's homeboy doesn't count anymore).

 

lol...My homeboy. Emo, you kill me. The guy gave Z owners a bad name.

 

but I thoght Z33 owners had SO much more class than everyone else. But WHERE ARE THE Z33 OWNERS AT? The real ones that are nice guys with nice cars?
