Weird Myths or Facts about your Z car

[bluezcrazy]

You can't take Urban Dictionary too serious, that's just the first thing I thought of getting a definition for Bad arse off of. I don't usually quote anything off of it.

You can't actually use anything from the Urban Dictionary website. It's run by illiterate urban teenagers, and they use urban slang as the definitions of urban slang?

One of the "myths" of 240z's is that there supposedly were some cars made with factory sunroof. Which we ALL know to be untrue. Well... there is one persistent guy here (who might read this) who keeps telling that his 1971 has factory installed sunroof, and even published that info in national car magazine that made a story of his restoration (that z is awesome by the way!). You can imagine what kinda feeling that caused in me. I politely let him know (in our "local" z forum) that there is not a single z left from the factory with a hole in the roof. This guy starts to go mad and yelled me for destroying his reputation etc etc. In the end, admin deleted our conversation from the forum cause he boo-hooed to him. I think he was über offended about the fact that his car was not unique but the opposite. If he had ever read this forum, he would know

Wait a minute, that car is unique-it was owned by a guy that built and defended his reputation on ignorance and was too proud to look into what he was told. That car is unique because it is a reminder to the rest of us how powerful misinformation can be when pride mixes with it and it is presented as fact to and by those that are ignorant-also a testament to Journalists to research and verify your "facts"

I too know a Zowner with a authentic factory electric sun roof-it is in his Lexus!

I'll have to remember to ask for proof. But so far, I just roll my eyes every time he tells this 'fact' to a spectator.
