Z Safety? Girlfriend Refusing to Hop In. >_<

texasviking · 04-27-2010, 05:40 AM

Just have her open the door and 'look at how thick it is'... Then, show her all of the airbag logos...

My girl was a little 'iffy' at first, but now she begs at an opportunity to take the hotness!

can someone inform me why the z wasn't crash test rated? i mean.... that new mclaren is being crash test rated. i don't see why they can't crash test a 25-40k car.

I need some sort of document, article...Anything credible saying the Z is a relatively safe car. :\

Thanks,

How about you post a pict of your girl and we decide if she's Z worthy?

Should I post photos of post accident for reference?

If I was you, I'd tell her to start walking or find another boyfriend. Plus what the hell's she doing out of the kitchen anyway?

Jeffblue · 04-27-2010, 06:58 AM

uh oh, i hope this doesn't turn into the ACURAZINE divorce thread. this could get messy.

A faster one of those!

Jeffblue · 04-27-2010, 08:26 AM

well, when i could fit in one of those, i had a quarter mile time of 10 mins. so if you think you can beat that in your "Z" with its "engine" and "transmission" and "functioning steering wheel" then i think we may have to race.
