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.....).

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 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.

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

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!

I'm hoping the Southwest will be good to my babies when I move there.
