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

Driving to work and a song comes on that reminds me of high school. Like many southern California schools, mine had a lot of people (around 5k students), so there were plenty of cars around. The cool car then ( early 80's) were throwbacks...a VW Karmann Ghia or a 67 Mustang. (I did have one friend who had a slightly used RX-7, but he was rare. The rest of us had older cars.)

So then I thought...what if I drove my current Z back then? Yes, I know it was only the 280 or 300 ZX that was the latest model at least in my HS years, but work with me here. If you drove your current Z in high school, how would:

A. You be different (more confident, "stuck-up," happy go lucky, etc.)?

B. Or how might others treat you differently?

Im a youngin, the 350Z was the current Z while I was in high school, if It was my first car I would probably be dead right now lol. Wrapped around a tree

I'd be parts of a corpse on the side of the road. Teenage me would throw my Z off the road backwards at a very high rate of speed. :rofl2:

I'd get laid more (anything greater then 0 is more).

Often.......
and have mediocre grades when I could have done better.
have lots of fun and the best memories.

interesting topic.

a. more confident.... probably yes.
b. others treat you differently... probably yes.
c. would it win you a date with the prom queen? ... probably no. :ugh:


:wtf2:

at the end of the day, if you had a cute girlfriend (or a few) you won. i had a cute gf so my pos civic did fine. :D

'zactly.

I graduated in 1978 and drove a 1969 Datsun 510. I still never got laid.

wow 510! :tup:

:tiphat: It was a 2 door, 4MT...

most excellent! :tup: x2

Wel that explains it. you would have been better off not owning a car. :icon17:

You would have if you drove a 370Z. Ahead of your times you would have been.

:tup:

I had a Red 76 280Z 4 speed manual all through high school.
That's how I got bit by the Z bug...

a) probably the same
b) probably the same
