Toxic 350Z Forums!

+1000 on that forum going to sh1t!

Welcome, enjoy the ride!

That forum along with g35driver are now garbage. I was a member with both from the beginning and have see the progression from adults owning a somewhat expensive car to immature kids being able to buy one for $7000.

Don't let it bother you Enjoy this forum and the car. Believe it or not, people 16-18 can drive a RWD car with 300+hp and not get themselves into trouble. Just have self discipline and don't try to show off in front of people if/when they peer pressure you to do something stupid. Also, show respect and you'll get it back when you're on the forum.

Now I just hope this forum doesn't go down the path of my350 and g35driver in 4-6 years

If you look past the crass words, you'll see they're giving, otherwise, sound advice. Something many of us on this forum have advised younger drivers. Of course, being young and stupid, they never listen but that's their prerogative.

They didn't wish you to crash until you went back like a little cun7 and said, "**** you". Honestly, you showed how immature you really are with that one action. Not saying their response is justified, just pointing out that you probably can't even see that you lack impulse control. And I'm not saying you're going to go and wreck your car nor do I wish you to, but your attitude screams "entitled" and "defensive". If you go back and read a couple of your old posts you might see what I'm saying.

A quick example is having your mate ride in the boot of the car and when Kenchan commented your response was "can't I have some fun?" (entitled) and "it was a last resort" (defensive). Sure, have some fun. It's always fun when no one gets hurt and you don't get caught. But the moment you see sirens, or you do get in an accident, even if it's not your fault. You're going to feel really stupid when your buddy gets hurt over doing something as petty as joy riding in the back. Did I do that when I was a kid? Sure. Would I do it now? No, because I'm older and know that the superfluous fun that we have doing that is no longer worth the possibility of injury.

Just my two cents.

Sure, you're right, but I replied like that because, at first I was nice, there was a fair share of people giving good advice, then there were people just telling me to buy a Honda, calling me "another idiot asking a question" etc etc.

As I mentioned in my earlier pot,forums evolve.
I include,THIS forum in my comment.
To elaborate,that 350Z forum over a period of several years,went
from an elitist group of guys that thought they knew everything ,to
the Civic owners moving on up to the big time with a Z. Topics
like full body kits were the norm. Not mentioned now.An increase in
female members and others that I swear would have trouble opening the hood.
On this forum,not long ago,any body mods or redo's of the interior were rare.
Same goes for engine mods other than intakes. Now,maybe because there are
an abundant amount of used Z34's,cars off lease or warranty,mods begin.
You can add the price of a used 370Z is within the reach of a bunch of buyers.

Some forums just die a slow death(check the Z "tech" forum,you will get my drift).

They evolve.To stay alive they must change with the owners/cars to survive.
Don't you just hate the incessant ads from the LED conversion company and
Carid?

My two cents... take the high road and stop responding to that forum. Obviously, some folks their see they get under your skin and only egg you on because of this. Who cares what some "key-banger" thinks. You be you and do your thing.

To quote Gump, "that's all I got to say 'bout that." Welcome to the forums. I recently became an active member in 2015, but I've been lurking around since 2008. You aren't going to find a finer group of folks (or sexy sexy Z people as I often call them) than the folks here. Enjoy that Z...and don't wreck it, kid! (sorry, had to )

Driver wasn't as bad as my350. But, the guys on my350 are complete d1cks.
