Funny thing happened to me on the way home tonight...
 

....driving home, after having only owned the 370Z for four day, I pulled up to a light with a silver 350Z convertible next to me. The driver opens his window and screams out how much he loves the new 370. Then he says, there's a Z meet going on right now, in town, and welcomes me to stop by.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Apparently, it's a bunch of guys and girls from My350Z.com. All very cool, I had the only new 370 there and everyone was interested in seeing it. Luckily I had the my camera in the car, so I quickly snapped off a pic or two, right before I froze to death. Mine is the PG 370 all the way on the right.

That's Sweet!!!! I wish there was something like that in Memphis. By the way we have similar tastes in cars haha.

wow...cool..........everyone must of envied you...lol


what did you guys do...just talked and stuff??

Cool! Thanks for the story and pics.

Yeah people were just BSing about cars, etc. One by one they'd "test out" their exhausts :)

^ must have been loud.......what a place to meet....so dark.. parking post lamps are lacking...haha

Cool! :tup:

What did they think of the 370 in person? They are pretty brutal towards it on that site.

I can see why they'd be like that, but in person it was all praises, as to appearance, both inside and out. Not to mention someone saying in passing (probably incorrectly) that the only car that could possibly take one of the turbo'ed 350s there was my 370.

Awesome. Yeah I think most on the site are pretty cool. Just some seem to take a very negative position. Both are great cars.

^^ nothing compares to when the G37 came out............it was like a month of constant bashing...while someone was making a new forum so we could move out...lol


not a single thread survived the bashing...hahah....then all the G37's ppl left that forum for the new one just in time...

Seems the same thing seems to be happening again here. If we all could get along!! I don't even go to my350z much anymore. But I do browse MYG37 very often even though I am not a member very good and relative info there.

I didn't know G37 had it bad at the beginning. But I am glad that it went well for you K.alexander and maybe it changed some of there opinions

sweet.

Awesome, I got invited to a meet the other night too but I couldn't make it :(

Wow... I was thinking about joining another car club out here when I get my 370. There's a couple VQ clubs here... About 3 months ago I was driving down the freeway in my 300zx when I got passed by about 20 G35s and 350z's going REALLY fast... I wasn't sure if I should try to keep up or see if any of them crash ahead of me. LOL

Yeah those meets can be fun with the right people.

I took mine to a similar meet a few weeks ago and the car got the same response, people really love it when they see it in person.

over here, we dont have any particular meets like just Z's or just G's

instead we got a meet every Thursday evening at this one parking lot. more than 70+ cars usually show up...all kinds, which is nice...lol
and meet ppl who can do mods for you...like headlight and other stuff..
and then the police drive by all the time...haha

nice pic, your 370Z looks much bigger than the 350Z from that angle

:) lol. yeah, and look at those cars all the way in the end, they're really just 1:24 replica models

There's a few high profile meet ups like that here. We have the exotic meet ups on Sundays where the cars that are $100K+ show up. There's usually about 120 cars of all sorts... Lambos, Ferraris, etc.

My car club is about fast cars. If it's fast it's allowed in. Since we're heavily involved with racing, we have a bunch of sleepers. Datsuns with V8s, VERY fast trucks, couple modded up F-Bodies, Corvettes, etc... Lately because of the season, the turn-outs have been small - between 10-15 cars. But during the summer we get about 20 - 25 cars.

^^ over here....most ppl store their best cars for 6 months out of the year
so when it comes out to the meets.....it's just fantastic to see

Yeah... It was all sun and fun 3 weeks ago. A bunch of the owners brought their garage whores out for play. It's too bad I still don't have my 370 yet.

Cool mini meet. Thanks for sharing pic :tiphat:

When are you getting yours? I just ordered the same spec as you are looking for.

what do people do at these car meets anyways?

^Like I said: "people were just BSing about cars, etc. One by one they'd "test out" their exhausts :) "

I havent been to one since I was about 20 :( ......oh, to feel 10 yrs younger again :rolleyes:

sounds fun. i know where that is, thts in the ikea parking lot in philly. a lot of meets go down there

I hope I'll be ordering mine this month. I've been holding back for some "legal" issues I'm having and waiting for a check... Of course, things can drag on and I could be kicking dirt for a while. I contacted a dealer here and he said he can get me everything I want plus mats and kick panels for a hair over 40K. So I'll likely be going that route. I don't really want the illuminated kick panels, but the mats I DO want. So it works out.

Pretty much how it goes is people stand around in a parking lot for about 2 hours talking about cars. If you show up all the time, you'll hear the same stuff over and over. My car club is a little different, but in the end, we always end up standing out in a parking lot BSing about cars. LOL

That must of been fun. Having a whole bunch of people surrounding your car examming every inch of the car... Your girl(car) would have been a little emarassed from so much attention. =P
