We're all the same

DrEvil · 04-21-2011, 09:20 PM

I was at my local supermarket picking up some supplies for our long weekend in Delaware when I see a snow white Nismo 370 came crusing by looking kinda lost. The car parks and after I dropped my groceries into the back of my Z I walk over to say hello, and admire the car ( the roof was wrappped in black and I thought it was a member of the forum who recently posted his roof wrap). Out steps the driver, he nods seeing my Z and asks me for directions to a Target near by. It seems the young couple just moved to central Jersey from Seattle.After a few short "what have you done to your Z..." , he quickly asks " who does your installs around here?" In less than 3 minutes. I love it, we're all the same. So I gave him the name and phone number of the shop I use ,which he quickly loaded into his iphone.
If you're reading this (his told me he was a member here) nice meeting you and your Nismo.

I've already made two good friends through the car and this site. My wife says I'm internet dating.

Seriously, this site and cars in general have been awesome to me. Aside from some old college buddies, most of my friends I've met through car related activities. I was so glad I started the 370Z club here in the DC area... I have met a lot of great people because of it!

And it's especially cool to go to an event like ZDayZ where you can meet all your forum buddies in person that you otherwise wouldn't ever see because, well, they might live 1000+ miles away from you!

I think the guy your talking about is Nizmo0533. I saw he was selling some parts due to the fact he was moving from Seattle to New Jersey. Gotta be the same dude lol

m4a1mustang · 04-21-2011, 11:09 PM

I wonder if he drove his Z from WA all the way out to NJ... now THAT would be a cool drive!

Well, I'm not Japanese (though I did live there for 5 years) so I will have to defer to Ken, but I think you should qualify for honorary Japanese, thus making you half-Asian.
