What he said. Said. :wtf2:

:icon14:

ummmm....you dont remember! the epic pic thread got merged....

Although I am sure there were some "uneducated hicks" in there, I assure you several of us are quite well educated, and a lot of my friends that have not gone to college that were there are well versed and educated in things that actually matter, like how to save your buddies life when he gets shot while you are deployed together. Just because we do things that you wouldn't do or my friends like their trucks and mud doesn't make them inbred uneducated hicks.

PS We all had one hell of a time "a hootin' and a hollerin' in that there mud pile"

:wtf2:

lol...

i want to see a z painted up like the general lee...its only a matter of time before someone does it :icon17:

Funny thing is that it would probably look fairly good. The lines are similar enough (in the 2-door coupe, long hood, short deck kind of way) that it could look interestingly cool.

Plus orange is an awesome color.

Exactly. Like I said earlier, you probably had more fun during those couple of minutes DRIVING your Z than 90% of this forum will with theirs.

general lees flag will be hard to pull off...itll have to be down scaled...

i would like to see it done, i think it would be great...driven through hotlanta in a general lee z :icon17:

ya but the thought of detailing it afterwards far outways that five minutes of fun for me...;)

The cleaning wasn't fun :( lol but it was worth it in my book.. we tried to put a flag on top and shut it in the doors but noone had one that wasn't on a pole :( and i bet if i would let them do it Ground Zero would take a collection up and pay to have that flag painted on there lol

Just in case it makes anyone feel better I had a nice big pinch of Copenhagen in my mouth when I went out there.

Me too, I'm too paranoid about scratching it to hell to do anything like that, but, I figure after doing that, he'd not give a crap about the paint and just drive it.

Like a guy once told me.

First thing I do when I buy a new guitar is set it in the bed of my truck. Then I find a big rock, and toss it over my shoulder into the bed of said truck.

1 of 3 things happen

1) I'm over it being "new" as I damn near killed it anyway.
2) It gets dented and now I can play it without worry
3) It gets destroyed...therefore it was never meant to be.


Part of that advice was, never get a guitar you're not willing to get dinged up.



Well, sub "guitar" with "370z" and there ya go.

:iagree:

hmmmm...

<goes outside and looks for huge rock to throw on z...:ugh2:

"big" is an opinion...

that was rediculous

On Kannibul's point..

One of the guys in the office had a good story.. a good friend of his dad had a farm, and would end up replacing his truck every 10 years or so.. it's a farm truck, meant to be used, and of course a brand new truck looked too good to be "used" the way it should be..

His solution? Day 1 when he brought it home, he threw a shovel at it.. wasn't a perfect shiny truck, and it's days of being a farm truck began..

so its a farmer's z now...lol

VIN # Listing please?

Yeah, in contrast, I've got 2K miles on my Z and it's 5.5 months old. I keep it in the garage to keep it clean and poo-free, and I haven't driven it to/from work but just a couple of times. I'll drive it to a friends house, but his stories of cars getting broken into, stolen and damaged, now has me re-thinking that idea...lol

It's a white elephant, in a sense.

LOL I asked that the other day, mebbe it's time to start a thread listing VIN #'s of abused 370Z's.

I am at work I don't exactly carry my vin # around w/ me

Why would that matter?

This place is hardly a carfax...and stuff like that doesn't show up on carfax anyway.

Would you buy the mudder Z?

Ignore him; he prefers to play Devil's (or sometimes Dumb***) Advocate.

He was going for 90-240 seconds of driving around in loose dirt.

Guys that take their car to the track put *far* more stress on their car.

So, to answer your question, sure I would, given the same check-over that I would give any used vehicle.

Oh agree about track stress, natch. However, if he did this mudman routine, why would I trust the guy to take care of it?

BTW, I would never buy a used, modded auto, any brand. Too much risk of getting something that had the snot beat out of it.

You were right saying that carfax would never show this kind of sh!t. In fact, carfax doesn't show a ton of stuff beyond accident damage. I once looked at a used Outback from a used-car joint in the area. They provided me with a carfax on the spot, assuring me that this vehicle "has no bad history". When I checked the engine numbers against the chassis and showed them that the engine had been replaced, they denied any knowledge of the fact. Whenever I drive by their lot, I always notice used engines laying around the bays. Buyer beware.:eekdance:

I think carfax also doesn't get "notified" if a car is taken in and paid for out of pocket.

With a high deductible (like what I have), if either bumper gets nailed, I doubt I'd claim it unless the damage is at least double my deductible - simply because I don't want to deal with a hiked-up insurance rate.

As for the owner, the same could be said for any used vehicle. I have the same perspective as you on used vehicles vs. new - I prefer to buy new because the only person who's f'd it up is me, and I know the history of the vehicle from very early on. That, and when I think of a used vehicle and how much I'd be willing to pay for one, that amount is ALWAYS less than what the asking price is, usually by enough to where I end up reconsidering getting new.

Completely agree. :iagree:

that was kinda cool!even though i cant do that myself props to solus especially for keeping a cool head!

wow, uh I don't know if I would even do that with my Titan.

Zzz
 

:tup:Z for Drift! Z is Easy Drift car

That was nothing even close to drifting lol i was just doing donuts

Stupidity at work. Anyway he is enjoying so.. oh well. Another Z is going for waranty issues since the suspension its going to get.........#$%#$. exactly

Why does everyone think that little stunt is going to break the damn car. I did it for like 90 seconds total.

i detailed my z today...she looks purdy...

LOL^^^ glad you had fun!

No doubt, if the car breaks from that, it would have broken anyway...let alone what I said earlier about people doing what you did...on pavement...
