So what is next on the to do list for the Blue Smurf? I vote atleast a vanity plate. BLUSMRF

You know that video I had where I was looking at Omar's nose the whole way? Yeah... it's got him making that right hander onto 28... but the trees get in the way so I didn't catch his crash.

Thanks Dustin....and congrats on a very well done engagement announcement! :tup: I could tell she was genuinely surprised and happy. I'm considering going to the Z Nationals which I assume is in your backyard?

:icon17: I already have one: ZLISHEZ :tup:

Paint the roof black! And do a matte blue paint job! :stirthepot:

Thanks for the hat Dustin!

Yes, thanks for the hat! Got mine on as I'm typing! :tup:


And Lou, that black roof idea might just happen. It's def in the "To Do" list. :tup:

I would do a CF overlay since you already have the spoiler and fangs.

Congrats on the engagement dustin, glad i was there for the announcement!!!!!!!Is there a zdayz wedding in the future? That would be cool!!!!!

Yeah, congrats Dustin! That was pretty cool!!!

Thank you Steve!! Everyone else's Z's were amazing .. there was not a Z there that did not have something that I loved or wanted on my own Z...

Thank you Sharif!

Dang Tony .. I gotta get my pic of the trophy as well! Congratz on the win .. your car is sooooo sick in person! The Smurf FTW!

Doh @ my buddy Becket! He is in our Z club and is actually a very experienced driver. He has been up and down that tail of the dragon for many many years .. its just one of those things where if your tire catches the edge of the road and tracks you outwardly .. dont try to over-correct it or what happens is you get sucked into a few trees. Luckily the trees prevented him from rolling down the mountain! FYI: I never broke 65 mph in any turn .. on the few straight aways I got up to 88.

thanks for links tipsz... i can't pick which one's i want... i wanna get them all

He is taking it well. Thinks its totalled and will buy it back from the insurance company and throw the TT VQ35 into a 280Z chassis is what he told me!

Looks familiar......:icon17:

That sounds like a great idear!

Saw that as we were kicking the favorites *** at Beer Pong, LMAO!!!

What a good event and great people aswell. Hope to see everyone again next year.

First Zdayz and it was great! Agree with the whole speeding ticket item. Got a speeding ticket on the dragon early Sunday morning. Can't wait to find out how much that costs.

It should say on the ticket :)

You would think that but on mine it has a number to call. :icon14: Ugh!!

Yeah I m working on the whole ZDayz Wedding thing...so far its a NO GO. She wants it up there at Fontana. But prefers a fall wedding, something about the time the leaves start changing. I would like to get it so that it is the weekend before, and stay all week, and then have ZDayz.

It will be atleast a year to a year+half. We were planning on a lengthy engagement so I can knock out the truck payment and so that we both could finish school.

But no matter where we have it, everyone is welcome.

Depends on what he ticketed you for - if it was Reckless driving (as in crossing the double yellow line for lack of control - combined with excessive speed) we 'heard' that was $550 minimum... Good luck man... I doubt many judges up there would let any Zdayz attendee off with a warning...

BTW - Do you have to 'appear'? Maybe you would fair better if you told them you were just up there for the day... on your own and not affiliated with zdayz... and of course that you are filled with remorse and regret... and some shiz about how it will never happen again too sir I promise and such...

Seriously tho - sorry to hear ya got busted.

FREAKING AMAZING time!!! is all i can say. trying to get to bed for work tonight since ive been working on pics all day haha. great to meet everyone. this was definitely the year of the 370.

photo by w0ady :tup:

Did anyone get pics of the Sammiched Z???

yes.

There are photos of it in the link w0ady posted up thar ^^^ :tup:

that's what i said too^^^ i think a quick overlay would look really nice. full dry carbon replacement would be baller but probably not worth the time/money/effort when an overlay looks just as good (if done right). but thankfully i got pics of it as it is now because that would have made it hard to see the top of the car in the shots :pics:

A replacement would definitely be a waste of money.

On our second dragon run I caught this on my go pro:

Looked like the passenger had to let go of his lunch.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_qiUkqaHCPFw/S_...dmanpuking.jpg

I felt bad for him because they were only about 3 miles in!

You can see me braking...i was looking over thinking WTF...then I saw the guy barf and laughed my *** off. The guy standing on the side waiting for his buddy was laughing too.

I see one of those motivational pictures when I look at that photo. Something like:

The Dragon: When sticking your finger down your throat just isn't enough.

At least I didn't puke....at least I didn't puke!! :bowrofl:

had i not laid down saturday night that would have been me, i felt like i was about to spew when i got back... stupid FVR food. think i'm gonna have nikki make me a sammich for dinner friday and saturday night next year :stirthepot:

Dude I thought it was pretty decent. We ate at the Wilwood grill a few times. The beer battered onion rings were good. :tup:

I must say.....the pizzas there are pretty good, too. I wouldn't mind having one right about now! :yum:

After seeing some of the threads and pics, it looks like you all had a terrific time. I've got to seriously consider coming out for it next year.

I'm already considering coming to a NoVa coffee thang some time soon.

I never tried it. I got the burger on Thursday night and stuck with it! :tup:

Highland Gaelic Ale.....Mmmmmm.....Gooooood!

Yeah I snagged one of those, too. DAM BURGER! :yum::icon17:
