At least yours was brown. Mine was some kinda putrid orange... but it almost hid the rust coming thru the top of the fenders.

I would be dead. I could not handle that kind of power when I was younger.

This is a suburban/country what if/issue thread. I have no comment.

You didn't get laid in high school either, eh?

So then I thought...what if I drove my current Z back then? Yes, I know it was only the 280 or 300 ZX that was the latest model at least in my HS years, but work with me here. If you drove your current Z in high school, how would:

A. You be different (more confident, "stuck-up," happy go lucky, etc.)?

B. Or how might others treat you differently?

I bet I'll get asked "is this a porsche?" at least 50 times a day including people from grade 10 to the school principal.

I feel honored.

I would be dead. I wrecked my Midget so many times my Dad had his friend total it so I could get rid of it. I loved that car but I loved living at home more so I did it! I'd had so many people pull out in front of me it was like rolling Bondo.

No, like buying blocks for the back and tightening the front so it was even. The funny part was at 1 point my Dad also drove the car. I changed the steering wheel one day, didn't tell him and then he got in to drive it. Went from a giant stock Toyota steering wheel to a racing wheel from Pep Boys.

Yha I would of been dead too. I crashed my first car, 91 gsx eclipse into a wall at 70 mph and almost died. With this z I would of been dead or in Jain for street racing.

LMBmikeZ · 03-05-2014, 10:40 PM

not sure probably the same position I am in now

I had a supercharged thunderbird before I even had my license, I F'ed it up and couldn't afford to fix it up so I scrapped it

roplusbee · 03-05-2014, 10:49 PM

a. More confident? Not really, but I would have a huge smile on my face or scare the crap outta myself most days.
b. Others treat you differently? Definitely.
c. Would it win you a date with the prom queen? I doubt it, but I got her at the afterparty without the date, lol.
