I actually just had lunch on Backlick Rd today. Not in my Z, though.

Last weekend I saw a white sport package parked in Annapolis and a white base model parked in Old Town Alexandria.

During the 20th century, our area became famous for its dairy and hog farms. Farmers used a certain road to move their cattle to and from pasture or markets. Cattle love salt and they used a clever way of placing salt in front of the cattle to move them from pastures back to their farms. The cattle would stop to lick the salt and were enticed to follow the farmer as he moved it back closer each time to his farm. The area along Backlick Road had natural salt licks that attracted deer and the Indians had hunted that area well before the farmers used their tricks. None-the-less, the road is appropriately named "Backlick Road". :tup:

Ohhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the history lesson :tup:

That's not at all what came into my mind when I read backlick rd.

Since you have some down time on driving what transformation is the smurf undergoing in the mean time???

We going to see anything new and exciting?

m4a1mustang 04-29-2011 08:12 AM

I saw a really nice yellow Z on 495 South on Wednesday. Asian guy driving. The car was lowered and had some really nice 19-20" wheels with polished lips. He was exiting 495 at 236/Little River Turnpike.

Also I've been seeing a blue 370 with custom tags on 495S when I leave work somewhat regularly, but I can't for the life of me remember what the plates were. Will report back when I see him again.

Two changes at least......maybe three.

Varis hood and Central 20 side skirts. And I may decide against the AbFlug rear bumper (taking too long and had a few people try to talk me out of it) and instead just have the Nissan "burger" removed from the bumper so the only distinguishing emblem left on the car would be the Z side markers. Then have my EVO-R CF license plate area molded to the OEM bumper instead of having about an inch or so of the CF visible.

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...70z/162974.jpg

That area around the license plate...mold it flush to the recessed area of the bumper. I'm starting to think that might look good.

Oh, and in the "fang" area of the front bumper, I'm having the three horizontal pieces removed and mesh installed. Should make for an interesting look.

DEDRATZ (read it backwards)
MOOREON (moron.....get it?)

b1adesofcha0s 04-29-2011 08:39 AM

I like dedratz :)

I am also one of those ppl who think you shouldn't go with the ab flug.

lazywolfe 04-29-2011 09:20 AM

Haven't seen any of you guys yet, but it's not a common car so it figures.
I'm rarely on expressways for long periods, but if you ever see a red roadster with sport wheels and no front plate, it's probably me. Feel free to wave ridiculously to get my attention and I'll do it back lol

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your roaster. Being red it will be easy to spot! I'll be the murdered Z waving at you.

columbia/EC are my stomping grounds, pretty sure toohip/lance lives in the area as well. So yeah if you see a yellow z its probably lance and a blue z will probably be me.

3SeventyZ 04-30-2011 06:18 AM

Saw a sport PW driving around coastal highway last night in Ocean City.

ZCarMan 04-30-2011 09:08 AM

Silver 370Z at the Sunoco station in Fair Lakes. Drove right by him as he was leaving and waved but he was off in space. Guess he hadn't had his coffee yet.

Were you at Giant by Owen Brown a couple days ago?

If it were you, you totally ignored me :mad:, I was in the yellow !!

m4a1mustang 05-03-2011 07:11 AM

There is a Monterrey Blue sport package Z I see parked on the side of Magarity road in Mclean/Tysons whenever I drive by in the afternoon. It looks like it still has paper plates and I think it has blacked out fangs. Anyone here?

Also, saw a white NISMO headed into Tysons from McLean on 123 under 495 this morning at around 7:15. He had a Stillen front plate bracket.

shadoquad 05-03-2011 08:32 AM

Sunday, I went out driving. I turned onto 695 from Cromwell Bridge Rd by Loch Raven, and I followed a Black Z to Dundalk, where he turned into North Point Plaza.
