New Member Here....

Hey how y'all doing? I was previously on a Nissan site but I was looking for a site that covered just Z cars and I found this one. Seems like an informative and pretty laid back forum.

Anyway, I got an '04 silverstone 350Z enthusiast and recently bought a 240Z.
Here are pics of the cars (and I snuck in a pic of the bike too.....).

Wow Z Car Barbie....do you actually own all those Zs? I'm jealous!

BTW NismoPick, you read my mind.....I just put the SRT-4 on Ebay (if anyone is interested, the reserve is $14,900).....its a cool car, but I miss my truck and I want another one....

Skully, an R6 is what I traded for my R1....those are cool bikes

Honda? I didn't see one.

Mike, please know that the others were just teasing you about your SRT-4 in a friendly manner. You own Z's, appear to appreciate them and came here to meet other Z owners, so that's what counts, no matter what other vehicles you own, or have owned. We're all very friendly here.

I've actually owned 13 Z's. For 3 years, I had a total of 7 Z's and a Bull. When I moved to FL last year, I reduced my stable to 2 Z's and my Bull. I really regret selling the others, but I ran out of storage space.

Hells yeah! U go! Woo-Hoo! I use to be a Power Seller on eBay, so I know the price can jack-up even more than u expected. When does your auction end? Please keep us posted. I wanna see.

I kept my show car, Jade (in my sig. below). She's an 82 280ZX and I have about $32K in her now, with me doing most of the work. She was my 1st Z, which I bought in 1994, I believe, and has since been featured in 3 magazines and won 12 or 13 trophies.

I also kept my 84 ZXT - he needs some minor body repairs and interior restoration, which I plan to do after I get them both to Cali. I've never entered him in a competition. They're both being stored by a friend in GA right now.

Oh, my Bull is a 97 Taurus with 77K original miles.

More like a Heffer.

I had a '91. Sent it off to the junkyard at ~260k. The tax deduction was way more than I coulda sold it for.

Yeppers! My Bull maaauuuhs, but he's not a Heiffer! He's much quicker than any of my 280ZX's ever were/are, and there's lots of room for my 180+ lbs. of hairy kids ... oooooh, and the cup holders, coin slots, padded console, 4-doors and a real trunk that's huge, can't forget those.

Wow... thats cool! Jade is a beauty! I can see where the trophies came from My first Z (& first sports car) was a '81 280ZX 2+2....damn I loved that car but unfortunately rust got the best of her, which is a real problem here in the Midwest.

Just looked on ebay, bids are up to $10,600 on the mopar.....auction doesn't end till Friday, I'm pretty confident it'll hit the reserve....

Hi Mike, and welcome to Zdriver. You have come to the right place, if you want a laid back website. And there is a lot of friendly and helpful people on here. Hopefully you stick around, and enjoy your stay here. And by the way nice Z's, and I especially like your 240z. Yeah the bike's cool too.

welcome! Nice cars...I even like the Srt-4....so sue me. I think they do pretty good. There's a guy that hangs out on surpaforums quite a bit that built one into a 10 sec car on stock internals....neon or not, that's impressive!

When it's between your legs, you can always guarantee getting lots of spooge ... ya know, like from a guy. Ouh, did I say that?

IN your legs? Hmmm, I know that hot coffee doesn't feel so good.
