Faithfull brotherhood of all that is Z, guid me in my moment of temptation!

[zguitar71]

Do not sell it; you will regret it, you have not sold it yet and regret it. Save your pennies and spend it on the Z.

Like Tomohawk said they have the worst side impact rating. Do you really want a car like that when he is around driving at break neck speeds with a helmet on?

I could understand if your delema was over an E36 M3 Bimmer but a Neon? Front wheel drive?

Stay loyal to the brotherhood. Do not be a lost sheep in the sea of mundane modern non rice burning rice cars.

TAKE THAT CAR OFF EBAY!

I had a blue 75 280.. wasnt nothing but a eye sore and bondo, didnt evan run!

But now looking back at it....i coulda used alot of them parts on the other z...

[TomoHawk]

I don't remember ever making a claim that I drive at "break-neck speeds." I hardly ever exceed the speed limit. I'm too busy looking cool.

Come on Tomohawk, Cleveland is not that far from the equator

Cleveland, Ohio:lat 41,28 at 12:00 noon

Sounds like you're breaking the speedlimit while watching Magnum in the livingroom!!

anything over 40mph is breakneck, remember, the speed can't kill you, it is the rapid decelleration trauma, or the centripital force that puts you in harms way!

hahahaha good one will.

I love how you added Magnum in there aswell.

FWIW I have a similar set of glasses Tomohawk I'll upload a pic one day

[TomoHawk]

I leave the racing to cars on TV. Remember Mr. Magnum drove on closed roads, with all the necesary permits to break speed limits.

[zguitar71]

O.k. not break neck. I think a helmet should serve as the necessary requirement to drive at "break neck" speeds. You could add the HANS for good measure too.

Now back to selling the Z, DON'T SELL IT!

[Bambikiller240]

It just looks like Tomohawk's driving at break neck speeds 'cause of the AFDB he's wearing.

Please hear my plea for guidance for I have sinned...

My son, you have committed a grave sin. But since you have confessed your sins, Mr. K's spirit will have mercy upon your soul.

For your penance, you must await a beautiful, sunny, spring morning. You must fill up the gas tank with premium. You must drive until you find a twisty road. Then you must drive that twisty road until you find the most beautiful oak in the forest. You must pull off, sit under that oak, and look back at your Zed and imagine how the ride you just had and the sight you are now seeing would have looked and felt if it was a Neon. Study that oak above you and that Zed in front of you and think about what is beautiful and what is worth preserving.

Now, go forth and sin no more.

[Bambikiller240]

What decision has he made?

As I've said before, owning a Z is like dating a very beautiful and very tall woman. It's fun to do go out with her once in a while, but you must be extremely confident of yourself and devoted to carry it out for a long time.

There will always be "cute little" women out there that will entice you to stray. But, once you've basked in the envy and admiration you receive from others who see you with that woman, it's a rush like no other. You find you love the woman more and want to take her out more often.

A "cute little" woman is good too. However, now you're living within the "box", and doing what everyone else is doing.

Me, I'll take my Z. While there are other cars out there that have ~some~ appeal, nothing compares to the Z.

Aside from all that, the reference to the Neon's side-impact rating is a non-sequituur.

The Z, let's face it and admit it, as far as the Early Z's go, has a woefully and incredibly LOW Impact Safety. That's simply because the cars were NOT built with the safety standards inherent in their design that cars built in more current times have. You definitely DO NOT want to be in ANY kind of accident in a Z.

Now there will be some who'll try to nit-pick this, but if you've checked out the structure, sheet metal and safety crumple zones in a Z, you'll know that they're simply not there for a "safe" accident. (What an oxymoron!)

So, if current technology as far a safety is the issue, or higher horsepower, or handling or...... Why not buy a 350Z? They DO have everything mentioned. Then at least you'd still be in the family.

I wonder how much better a Z is...?
