I just got done giving my baby a bath. She looked soooo good that I had to snap some photos of her

As you can tell I'm one proud Z owner

She looks like a new car! Love the color too.

That looks like it hasn't been in the sun very much. The bumper rubbers look new as well as the turn signal lenses. Is that a Minnesota car?

BTW, I also like the rear window louvers. Especially the original rounded end style. They keep the car cool and protect the rear interior from sun damage. Just watch for corrosion under the four mounting tabs.

are they pana's or rewinds?

One classy looking 280Z !!!!! I also like the original rear window louvers !!!!

Very clean ride man. I have a set of those louvers that came with my car when i bought it that i am not using if anyone is interested.

Looks beautiful! Time to update that avatar!

Thanks all for the nice compliments. Yeah, I love the louvers as well and yes, I make damn sure no corrosion starts under the mounting tabs.

As far as not seeing much of the sun- Only time she see's sun is when I'm out cruising She's always locked away safe and sound in either my garage at home, or my storage garage and no my Z is not from Minnesota I bought her in AZ. and had her shipped to me up here in MN. and of course I don't allow it to see winter. Hell I'm so fussy I don't let it see rain

As for my rims- Those are genuine Panasports from MSA. with brand new BF Goodrich Traction T/A's from The Tire Rack. Just put those tires and rims on her last year.

Once again, thanks for all the nice compliments. I get people looking at me and drooling at the gas pump all the time and they all say the same thing "DAMN, that Z looks like she just came off the showroom floor" I tell them with pride "Yep, I work hard to keep her nice. After all it's my pride and joy"

P.S. Look forward to seeing your recent purchase from Nevada J P D Congrats.

Oh yeah about the avatar Alfadog, I know One of these days I should change it. Problem is that older one is the only one I got that fits. My newer ones are too big

theres always photoshop... heh

I've never used photoshop. I'm a computer dumba$$ .

I don't know, I'll figure out a way to make one of them smaller for my avatar.

Great looking babe you have there....Now that you have her all dolled up you need to take her out. Morrie's Nissan had a Z car show this past weekend, that would have been a great place to show off your baby.....

I too just recently bought a set of Panasport wheels (15") and am still trying to select a set of tires. What do you think of those Traction TAs that you just bought...What size are they? And what led you to select that particular one?

I have been considering Michelin Exhalto A/S and Yokohama Avid H4s. I am also considering going with size 205/65-15.

I'm from Minnetonka, MN . Where abouts do you live in MN.

Hey, wow man, that's a nice Z, ya don't see them like that too often in MN... I'm not usually too crazy about cars in blue, but man, that sure is a nice covering for that car. Shnazeh!

Say MAX, were you at that show at Morries? I dropped by for a little bit and chatted up this guy with an '82 ZX ... 285k miles! Unbelievable!
