Fairlady Z emblem

frost · 02-07-2010, 03:55 PM

I think horseface's comments were spot on. A bunch of "tough guys" who need names like "mustang" "charger" and "challenger" to make them feel manly.

I could drive in a pink car all day, I'm manly enough.

Maybe if I was a female driver and my car was painted pink it would be OK!

Sorry if I offended anyone here, as I said, it's just my opinion

Yes, I WAS aware of the "heritage" of the name (and actually my dad turned down a date with Audrey Hepburn, the star of My Fair Lady", said her t*ts weren't large enough, so she almost could have been my mother). But, it still seems TO ME like the name does not fit any type of high powered sports car.

I just wish one could state their opinions, whether positive or negative, without this kind of flaming.

BTW the FerrariChat site was FULL of this kind of intolerance for ANY type of criticism also. Even more so. But, I still would like be able to post my opinions, without this kind of negative feedback. No car is perfect.

Read the threads at the FChat site where I said I was trading in my Ferrari for a 370Z, and you'll see what I mean. Man did I get hammered, but IMO I'll take my Z over the Ferrari any day. I LOVE my Z!!!! Don't tell a Fcar owner that though. I've taken enough abuse. LOL

I'm sorry that you were a victim of some real undeserved over-reaction here. Seems that sometimes people will write things they probably wouldn't go so far to say face-to-face. Let's just let it go and talk cars..

Indeed.

I'd be able to pull off a pink car. I'd badge it 'Softlady Z' I'd also be able to wear a pretty dress and deliver dainty cupcakes in it and not give a damn what mister sports bar thinks.

Dodge's naming convention for cars is particularly hilarious. It's like they've asked zitty 12 year olds to name their cars for them. Which kinda of says where the core audience is at, maturity wise.

I hear they make pills now for guys who have to buy cars to compensate for their penis size / manliness. Just trying to help.

Got any pics of that? I'd love to see you drive to a NASCAR race like that to see what response you get! LOL

No, I'm not a NASCAR fan, Formula 1 is my passion

Fuckin with NASCAR fans is fun... I'll admit, I did it a few times while at college in DAYTONA BEACH (the hick mecca of the world)...

There are actually a lot of us here on these very boards.

In fact, there are a lot of us who... get this... watch every motorsport known to man...

Yes it is. Of course its mostly American fanboys though. The same guys who think going in a straight line is fun. Of course if you bring in "turns" they will say OH NASCAR OH NASCAR IS SO AWESOME. Yeah, doing 1 giant left turn is fun
