Tired of being called names?

[somecreep]

So my orange 72 240z is a little rusty, a little dusty, you know. Nothing too bad, but really all my friends seem to do is call it names. Here's the latest: "Carrot Car" (pertaining to that pointy orange profile), "Microwave Car" (pertaining to the retangular hatch window with the defroster lines) and finally "Suppository" (You understand.)

No Biggie really, I get it all the time, -BUT- Here is a support group for all those who have had their Z's called names.

-fire away...!

You need a better class of "friends".

it's only the jealous ones that feel they have to cut ya down....

I see POS a lot from my friends. What does that mean? Is it abbreviation for positive?

[Bambikiller240]

Are you serious, Chris?

[26th-Z]

No

Oh! the smiley faces are gone!

Actually, the Z friends I see all the time call each other's cars POS, but we know we are joking. I dated a girl who thought 26 was rather outdated. My ex thought the ride was too harsh. But once, at a stop light, a girl pulled up next to me in a pick-up truck, shouted out; "Nice car" and handed me a slip of paper with her phone number on it. God's honest truth.

Ya had me going there for a moment. Didn't see a smilie, so...............I had to ask.

all the guys i meet love my datsun. all the girls think its "too old"

whats up with that?

[26th-Z]

Yea, exactly. "That's a nice old car..." or "are you talking about your old car?"

[280z]

only one time a girl told me my car was "cute"

[seerex]

Always have had positive remarks about my z's from friends and strangers alike , unless i just took them in the last light

You said it Marc. My gf thinks it is hoopty and old. My friends think that if I have an old Z that I must lust for a new one. That is not the case as all of you know, but my friends can't get over it. This forum is a support group. The other car enthusiasts that disregard s30's don't know what they are missing; including my GF. I have to keep all the z talk on the dl when I am with her. She can talk about shopping, but I cannot talk about z's. I have gotten used to it and I am fine with it. Shopping talk doesn't bother me, but...... you guys get the picture.
