New Z Owner. Greetings!
 

Greetings everyone!

Always been an admirer of the Z since 2002, so I've finally joined the cool people's club :driving:. Only took me 14 yrs. It was surprisingly rare to find a 2016 White Manual Sports Tech Z within 100 miles from me.

For me, the Z symbolizes one of my personal milestone. I immigrated here with my parents having pretty much nothing back in the early 80s (Legally; my Grandfather was in the U.S. Airforce). Worked from ground zero and barely made enough to get through college, when I decided the Z would be my dream car.

Worked hard to build a career, bought a house first, settled down, and with higher priorities out of the way, and gas prices not being too horrendous, I'm giving myself some overdue play time.

Very first thing I modded was replacing the hideous button blanks. It's a laser cut acrylic design I made myself. If you can't already tell, kinda a Star Trek fan, lol. Eventually I want to make the "Z" logo to replace that after future body mods.

Enough about me, it's a pleasure to be here! Now to gawk at all the nicely modded Zs for future ideas :yum:

Congratulations on your Z and welcome. :tiphat:

Welcome and congrats on the new ride...

Welcome aboard

im right up the hill from you

Congrats and welcome! My first Z was a used 280 in college. Live in MidTown Sacramento. Hope to see you on the road.

OMG you are such a treky!!! Hahahahah, welcome to the family and congrats!

WELCOME !!
This is what makes AMERICA GREAT !!!
You can start with nothing, and go as far as your talent and dreams will take you!

Congrats & welcome. Now, the real fun begins with the mods:tup:

I love your story and am so glad you shared it! The 3-button mod is great! I'm not overly crazy about Star Trek but now you've got me thinking about what I might be able to do.
Welcome and enjoy that well-deserved Z!

Thanks very much for the warm welcome, everyone!

Thank you! Lol, yeah the Trekkie stuff is definitely an acquired taste. But it was more experimental and I had the template for the Trek Badge from another project so I used it to test the fit. I'm in the process of making a vector file for a mirror "Z" logo and eventually replace it with that. If you're interested in trying something similar, I can give you my corel files if you have access to a Laser cutter? I can show how I did it, if others want to try.

Yeah, I'm not gonna go into my display cases at home... different forum, lol.
Nice! A Sac-Towner. See you around!

Indeed, sir! :tiphat:
