Help me!!!

Bubbles · 11-19-2010, 06:56 AM

Okay guys, i really need your help on this one! You see I have been debating what to get my boyfriend for christmas, and the more i thought about it the more i realized that his main obsession is his 370z aka baby. He buys and buys for her tells her he misses her makes sure shes always locked up, and treats her like a girlfriend

. So what could I get him for christmas to make his gf more attractive to him? I don't know if its obvious to you, but I'm clueless! Any ideas are more than welcome! Thanks guys, "bubbles"

Something from here?

SophiaZ · 11-19-2010, 07:51 AM

^ haha

What has he already done to his Z? That's the first thing we need to know

ImportConvert · 11-19-2010, 08:01 AM

That's tough. If he's like me, and I doubt he is because he has a SO, he is probably picky about his car to the point that it will be near impossible to buy him the "right" something. My suggestion is to listen up when he talks about the car and see what he is going to buy next and buy it right before christmas so he doesn't get it first, beating him to the punch. That way you are assured the correct gift has been chosen.

Either that, or abandon the idea of buyin a present for the Z.

Don't try to surprise him, just ask him what he wants for his car. I hate it when my girlfriend tries to "surprise" me with a gift because she likes "surprise" but I flat out tell her EXACTLY what I want. Then she gets mad at me because what she got me was not what I wanted.

One of these days... straight to the moon!!!

AGREED..

yeah first thing is what does he have done?

Ask him to make a wish list also

then pick from there.

kenchan · 11-19-2010, 09:24 AM

ask him what tools he wants for xmas. parts for cars will eventually be sold when he moves on with the car. if he gets a nice tool he will remember you each time he uses it in his garage.

HAHA wtf? He tells the car he misses it? I'm sorry your boyfriend is a tool.

Buy yourself something instead. And find a new boyfriend...

Bubbles · 11-19-2010, 09:33 AM

I like the ideas you've given me, and I never thought to have him make a wish list! He doesn't have much yet as it is still very brand new to him. I know he just got something on the front of his car like to tow it. And I know he's been very interested in buying an exhaust but I know it's like 1000 some. Which I could always get him a visa with money on it so he could but as he sees fit. And I do agree about asking him however he's beingstubborn and won't let me in on mine so I'm not letting him in either. Hey, maybe I'll get lucky and he'll respond to this forum!

anyways I've no idea all you can do to the car.

SophiaZ · 11-19-2010, 09:34 AM

If you have roughly 5k, get him some matte black SSRs

Actually I have a better idea...get a skimpy X-mas outfit and get someone to take pictures of you on the hood

Can't go wrong!

*edit* We don't know his taste so we can't really be much help. Do you know if he likes carbon fiber parts? What color is his car and is it base or sport model?

Bubbles · 11-19-2010, 09:36 AM

&& to liquid ...he's not a tool he just jokes around. Put the subject of the matter isn't about bhow he treats his care, it's helping me find something that he might like for it. Thanks for your input though...

daisuke149 · 11-19-2010, 09:42 AM

wish list and go from there.

dont get an exhaust. people are very picky about which one they want. so unless you know 100% dont get that. or wheels.

If he wants an intake get this.
Customized Stillen GEN I/II/III Intakes NOW AVAILABLE @ Z1 Motorsports!

pick a color to match his car

if you wanna be really crazy. get his name put on the driver side pipe and yours on the passenger. (he will prolly hate that name thing tho!, but thats something a girl would do!)

I'll sell mine for less than $5k, haha.

You don't seem to be jealous of his car yet so I'm guessing this must be a new relationship. Most guys are very specific with their mods. I have to agree with Sophia. You are better off going with the skimpy outfit. Plus, it can be fun for you too.

shoopajae10 · 11-19-2010, 01:17 PM

I think you need a new boyfriend. I am available and broke, so I will pay more attention to you.

On a more serious note... How about a gift card to a certain vendor on this forum??
