adios, amigos

butdamnbrian · 11-14-2011, 01:02 PM

in ten minutes, i'll be leaving to pick up one mr. dreamkiller, who is flying up from irvine, CA to buy the Z from me.

i figured i'd stop by and post up a big thank you to the 370z community. thanks to the humorous, helpful, and most importantly, generous folks on this forum. i've been a low-numbers poster, but a huge follower of this community, and i'm sad to say adios. not sure what i'll spend my time doing now that i won't be cruising the forum as fanatically. i learned a ton here.

i think the car-head scene is much more balkanized than it used to be, and there's a lot less cross-over among various groups of car fans. the honda guys are on the honda forums, the nissan guys on forums like this, evo, stang, bimmer, etc. it's a trade off... less cross-pollination of people and ideas, but on the other hand, the wealth and depth of knowledge, experience and insight that's easily accessible to all of us is unprecedented. thanks to all the first-time experimenters, the guys and gals who spend time reviewing products for the rest of us to learn from. thanks to the vendors who show love to our community, set up group buys for us, toss us specials, keep us up to date, and feed our addictions, whether they be power, kicks, audio/video, body, or any other mod fever. thanks to the trolls who we love to hate. and most importantly, thanks to AK and the great mods here who keep this place productive and positive. *slow claps all around*

catch you guys on the flip side!
