Looking for my car in Memphis, TN...sort of
 

Small world. I recently traded my 2013 370Z in for a new left over 2017 Camaro ZL1. Well today, I thought I saw my old car (actually heard it first) driving through my neighborhood. But this Z had black wheels, mines had the stock rays....nevertheless I peered hard at the car trying to see inside but it was kinda far away.

Anyway, I continued doing what I was doing which was taking a tire off my daughter's car to get a nail removed and the tire repaired. I took the tire up to the local Discount Tire shop. As I pulled into the lot, guess what I see, my old 370Z. I walk around the car to make sure it was my old car: Frost grey leather seats <check>, 6MT <check>, FI exhaust with carbon fiber cans <check>. The Rays were plasti-coated black but it was my old car.

So I walked into the tire shop and looked around at who looked like a Z person and asked a young man in his 20s. Yes, it was his car now. We chatted for almost an hour. I gave him the full history of the mods I had done to the car. He told me that he had taken the 10" resonators off hence the reason it was so loud. He also told me about the mods he was going to do to it. He said the car with my mods was pretty strong.

So, if you're on this board, PM me I would like to keep up with your progress. Although I have a ZL1, I still have a soft spot for the Z.

lol you traded your z for an zl1? #facepalm

I needed a backseat for my grandson...I'm officially a grandpa :).

cool story. I had a similar experience when I sold my supra turbo years ago. my wife almost bought a Camaro but liked the mustang better.
good luck.

why didnt you trade it for a GT-R that would fit your grandson

Why don't you use capital letters, commas and periods when you write??? :stirthepot:

Congratulations :tup:

Amazing how that works...this is really a small world. Same thing happened when I sold my 1994 Pontiac Formula. Saw it around town for a while and then it disappeared...

I only told part of the story. I went to my local Firestone FIRST. They pissed me off so I left and went to Discount Tire. I probably would have never say my old car if I had gotten the tire repaired at Firestone.

The GT-R never entered my mind...I'm a manual, old school dude; especially sport cars. I wouldn't take an automatic sports car if someone gave me one even if it was a new Veyron (or whatever the latest model is called).

Intrusting story and best of luck with your Camaro ZL1. Do you have any times at the track yet with your Camaro ZL1?
