Clink.... clink......chik.....chuk chuk Any body wanna guess what I want to point my riffle at? At least it isn't a Z, but someone still needs to pay. I know the owner likes it bit I'm sorry my Z lovin redneck self just can't stand it.

What gives? now that you guys know what everyone looks like are you gonna stop with the cheap shots? Am I the only one that noticed Carl and Princess are both sporting chrome domes???? Where's the hood Carl? All in fun

2Many and Mike both have rare Z's.....because they have rarely been on the road!!! ROFL Sorry I couldn't resist.

Man, I've been quietly lurking around and I'm still getting called out! Here it is, me doing what I do best! :classic: I'll post a better one to the gallery some day.

Bambi, I have one word for you........ TIVO Reord the race and watch it when you get up, you can even skip the commercials, rewind and watch the wrecks, etc....

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9114&highlight=dodge I think it is actually for a Dodge............. I'm not sure though. I know it was chatted about previously in the link above.

If they don't state the shipping charges, ask them before you bid that way you can bid or not bid with knowledge. For what it's worth just about any item you order online or in a catalog is going to have about a 40-50%markup in what they pay for shipping unless they are running a "free shipping" promo.

I'm with 2Many on this one..... rent a tow dolly, they work great. Unless you plan on towing the car all the time, you'll spend more time and energy trying to make something than it would be worth in my opinion. If you do plan on towing it quite a bit for any reason get a flatbed trailer.

I was flipping channels and thought I'd check it out........ There were several older Z's as well as most of the Datsun line in the background in the garage. The mute button would improve this show a ton! The only show on the channel I like is the Joe Scmoe show

Did anybody happen to catch The Super 2ner show today (Sept 28) on the Spike network? I flipped it on with 10 minutes to go only to find out they were doing the show from what looked like the Nissan Garage in California. I guess the whole show was on the history of Nissan racing. The hosts of the show seem to be annoying little rice boys but I wish I had known the topic so I could have set it up to record. I've set all the episodes running this week to record hoping they replay it. :stupid: If you saw it let us know if they covered the real Z :cheeky:

240Z's did come with Vinyl tops....... not a lot of them did but it was possible to get them that way. If they came from the factory like that or not I'm not sure (I think they did). IMHO, depending on the color of the car a vinyl top can look damn good. The old man's Z is white and has one and I love the way it looks. I've also seen the vinyl on other color Z's or done to where the vinyl covers the hatch (has to be aftermarket) and it looks like crap. But vinyl on a white 240 can look nice! With that said, most of the guys have chosen to leave the vinyl off because of rust issues and taste preference.

We gotta bring this poll back after the economy rebounds...... I wonder how many of us have taken significant pay losses because of the recession. I know we have...... about a 50% pay loss and that ain't fun.

Looks like ya got a nice rear end there sorry, couldn't resist but it looks good, lets see a few more pics.

Stay away from MAACO and the othe production line shops.... I had my first 240 done at Maaco. when I went to pick it up I made them strip it down and repaint it.... orange peel on the sides, a pool of paint on the hood and swirl marks on the hatch (it looked like someone took a dremel to it). 8 months later it looked so crappy I took it to a pro and had it redone, I wasted a tone of money because I took it to MAACO first. Get a couple of other quotes from some shops. If you have a local Z club, ask the members who they've used, if not find a local car clubs website and ask them.

I guess I better start posting like crazy to get to the $1000 mark... As far as the prices go I think "Zmecruise" has a batter price than than the auto stores! I haven't checked though, just going off what other people have told me. :classic:

Please don't tell me your going to the "other side" by ricing that thing up!!!! I like the neons for what they are... good looking economy cars. I used to travel through West Texas a lot for work and the rental was almost always a neon. I'd put 1500 miles on that car from Monday at noon to Friday at 2pm (El Paso to Amarillo and EVERYPLACE inbetween). The neon is a hell of a lot more comfortable than my wifes @#$%@$%%^&**^$ Jetta! A ton cheaper as well.
