If you had your current Z in high school...

90 ST

It would have sucked having the Z in HS, means I would have been driving a slower car then I was...lol

kenchan

if 90ST had a Z back in hs, his odo would be like 15,000,000 miles by now.

90 ST

Funny thing is I still have the car I had in HS, but the engine has been pulled freshend up and is now in my truck. The car rolled about 300k before it was parked the last time.
This was a couple months after getting it, before the BBC went in and it got lowered.

I got my Z my senior year of highschool
1. I don't think it changed me too much cause the highschool that I went to was soo small (90 students in graduating class) there was no one to impress that wasn't already
2. Like I said not a lot of people really cared, if anything I would have a couple kids trying to talk cars with me or give me the occasional stare down at the light with their carpooling mini van

On a side note, I was looking up pictures of some of the cars listed in this thread and came across this.

Probably a re post, but an interesting read.

Honest answer?

I would like to say that I would be humble. Honestly I would probably think I'm the coolest kid on the block lol.

If I survived totaling it being stupid it probably would have made much of a difference. I wasn't good with vehicles when I was young, I smashed my moms 325i into a wall showing it off to a cheerleader at around 70 mph in the rain when I had just turned 15 and got to ride in my first helicopter ( I don't remember that part but I still have the scars). 400+HP and me as a teenager would have been bad news!

Graduated in 91, had a hand me down 84 Toyota truck. No A/C, no power anything, lowered it and modified it as much as I could on a high school budget. It was the main mode of transportation to and from parties so it was good for me socially. Like others have said a Z would have helped in the getting laid category, if you have the nicest car or are the best athlete you're getting laid by default. When you have a bad thermostat and are cruising back from the beach with the heater on full blast and a chick in the front seat you're not getting any action.

kenchan

lowering on a high school budget... you mean like hacksawing the spring shorter?

Sensei Kreese

No, like buying blocks for the back and tightening the front so it was even. The funny part was at 1 point my Dad also drove the car. I changed the steering wheel one day, didn't tell him and then he got in to drive it. Went from a giant stock Toyota steering wheel to a racing wheel from Pep Boys.
