Honestly... the Fairlady name took years for me to accept it. But when I read the whole story behind the naming of the car and the japanese culture in how they express admiration... I gained a new respect for it.
Now I'm waiting for the Fairlady emblem to restock so I can attach it

Fairlady isn't that bad. Don't think it's list worthy.

Hold on I just realized this list was by Fox News, the most corrupted and crooked news network known to man.

I kind of like "Mazda Bongo Friendee". It sings.

I don't see anything wrong with 'Quicksilver' for a car name. It means mercury, yes, but Murcielago means bat, a flying rodent that likes to create giant poop mountains filled with flesh-eating beetles.

Anyway it's all Faux News, so it doesn't mean shiz.

My dad had a 1970 240z when I was a kid. He bought his in 1975 and did auto cross and track events almost every weekend until the early 80's. Usually with me as his only crew. It was his dd for that entire time too. I remember him telling me about the Fairlady name and why it wasn't called that here in the states. To me the Fairlady moniker has as much prestige and heritage as "Boss" or "SS".
That's why the Fairlady badge was one of my first mods.

I HAD to rebadge my car with the Fairlady emblem for the sheer history and culture of this car; to pay homage to its roots

Maybe that's why they don't have Mustang on the list ???




On the topic, I think the Ferrari Califonia is weird, why will an Italian legendary auto maker name its car with an state name of a foreign country, can't they use a name of a region or city from their own country??

only flak i take is from damn youngin's (well younger than me i'm 31) that have no clue to the background of the name. when i had the car maybe 2 weeks and had the fairlady emblem on it a guy in his 70's came up and complimented me on it. i was surprised since i figured him to be an american muscle guy but he said he could remember the first Z's and loved them.
