yup, new 370 looks too much like the 350 which means it automatically fails.

His Miata is not street legal.
I don't think he has it registered, and no insurance.
It's strictly a track car.

240z/260z/280z/300z all look incredibly similar to me

I see the major changes as this 240z, 260z, 280z / 300zx / 350z, 370z. I personally love the 1971 daston 240z, i just got me another toy car at the gas station the other day of it.

i like those too but then again my 240sx had similar styling because they were built/designed around the same year.

damn, sorry to hear about that jake... the economy is really bad. but, hang in there and setup a job search strategy... i hope u find something soon.

it happened to me too, as my last day at new line was 8.31.2008. man, i really miss that place. the past 2.5 weeks have been rather stressful adjusting to the new work environment. i shouldn't be complaining cuz i was lucky enough that these ppl wanted me. but, i'm pretty burned out on what i do- so that may be part of it.

i was browsing around the 350z forums, because Jun (x-ped) told me over IM about this kid who had his car ruined by a body shop that did such a horrible job installing his body kit. it was so bad, that i can't believe that body shop actually hasn't been sued and lost their business license. anyhow. what really pissed me off was some silly user had "friends don't let friends mod their rx-8s" as his siggy. wtf?!!

Ah, see I don't know Nissans that well (I am a car guy, don't get me wrong), and some of the older cars I'm not so familiar with, including the Nissan Z line. I also have tremendous difficulty with muscle cars (something my dad used to be really into, owning a 71 Challenger in high school).

I am not too worried.
The severance takes care of things for a while, quite a while.
Time to focus on the house and other projects for a bit.

^^^ I am sorry to hear that. The economy is hurting a lot of industries right now. Even in my industry, consumer electronics, a lot of companies have gone bankrupt in the last few months. Hopefully we've seen the bottom and things will start getting better soon...

BTW, that's great to hear all of the people going to the meet this weekend. Ill see you all there!

Jake: sorry to hear that man, comes at a shitty time with you just getting a house.
You're a sales guy though, I have no doubt you'll be back on your feet in no time.

Detrich: I saw that thread, I could NOT BELIEVE that someone would actually try to mount a body kit that way. I swear it looked like a 8th grader was handed a power drill and told to do that work. I didn't read the whole thread at the Z club because I got the feeling it was going to be LONG.
My question was simply this, WHY did he take his car to that guy??? The very first post says something like, "I had hear the stories of this guys shop but I took it there anyways"

Loren: Emilie should have her camera with her, I'm going to try and take as many pics as I can.
I'll get you the link to the 350z thread in a bit

I have not seen Brady on the sidelines even at the home games, so I doubt he is traveling with the team.
