I still can't believe how much attention our group was getting. People would just circle our line of Z's and gawk. Camera phone pics and stares galore. Love it!

Do you think is was the cars or the drivers - LOL

Okay - sleepy time for me now.

JvKintheUSA · 08-08-2009, 10:26 PM

I'm just trying to get my number of posts up...

I averaged 26 MPG, which is fantastic, and 64 MPH average speed on my trip back and forth.

That's good to hear. My first roadtrip will likely be to Pittsburgh sometime in the near future, to show the car off to my uncle who used to own the 240Z. That mileage is awesome!

I found that to be the most satisfying part of the day.....actually seeing other drivers get OUT of their cars just to snap a picture. And to get some 350 love was cool, too. The guy in the black 350 honked and gave a

when he left....thought that was a nice way to show some love.

She even said Red was perfect... not too dark and not too bright! Oh, and she said you can never go wrong with black!

I'm just glad she didn't shy away......anyone wanna guess if that had been a male driver if he would have:

#1 - even parked as close as she did
#2 - acknowledged our presence

hahaha!

I'm guessing a male driver would have parked right next to you and said "Hey Big Boy, Where ya headed next GI?"

Looks like you guys had a pretty good turnout. I would have loved to go, but I find it very hard to do anything before 11AM, especially on a Saturday, and especially in NOVA. If you all ever decide to hook up at a reasonable hour, I'm there. A Friday evening at Capital Raceway would be nice. We could see what kind of numbers 2theextreme's ride can put up.

Yes but even she knows that once you go black you never go back....which is why she stayed away from the black ones.

I will try to make it out next time since I at least have a PW!

I wouldnt worry about that. There are no haters in the crowd. No sport package looks just as good as sport package imo...so its all good my friend

I thought the early AM was nice because even though it lasted 3 hours, I still had the entire Saturday left to run errands.

Next up will likely be dinner at Gordon Biersch in Annapolis.
