That's my boy Arnel with the white slicktop. His car gets mad respect. Very clean and tastefully done. Blue Nismo Wheels. Tight. I haven't taken pics of it with the new rims although I should've gotten some on Friday and Saturday. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mqDf4UrYHM...0/IMG_2490.JPG

This was a last minute thing that George aka MOtoman asked me to do just a few weeks ago while i was in Japan. I actually just flew back like a day and a half before so i was a bit jet lagged. I apologize if i seemed tired or a bit out of it. I havent slept much the last couple months working on some cool stuff. Make sure you all check out this years Tokyo Motor show in November which celebrates Nissans 80th anniversary.

I didnt have a car while over there and commuted by train everywhere so damn did feel nice to drive up in my Z. Driving up in convoy with Devon and Lenny was fun. I love leaving an event and seeing Z's driving everywhere is an awesome sight. LA Construction. Traffic detours on the way home not so much.

Thanks to Lenny and Carl and anyone else who put the word out an for everyone who came out.

Next time I'm definitely down for some ramen with you guys!
Nice meeting you Randy. I know we discussed it quickly but please let us know when we can do a meet at Nissan SD when you are around and/or have time.

Forgot my DSLR but here are a few pics from the phone...

Randy,
I'm glad you're still an active member here at THE370Z. You've designed a car that doesn't age. 4 years later I still get compliments on my car left and right. I keep it very detailed and looks like it has probably 30,000 miles, but in reality it has almost 70K. Thank you for a great classic design. You've taken ideas from your bike wheels to design our awesome RAYS 19" sports rims which people still don't believe that they came stock. You're taken design ideas from shark and applied that to the fluid body of the 370Z. Between you and me, I still love the original shark fascia as you've explained here: Autoblog speaks with Nissan 370Z designer Randy Rodriguez at 23rd annual Z Car Convention. BTW, huge thank you for those two pre-production autographed posters of the 370Z. One is hanging in my living room and other in my office (at home).

I bet you had a blast at that event. Feel free to keep us posted on any design update or anything you want to share. Feel free to pm me and please make yourself at home here at THE370Z.

Long live the Z
