Z really is a head turner

djc119 · 05-19-2014, 10:26 AM

Usual stories... Kids in EVO's and GTI's always looking to race, a few "nice car" comments at the gas pump, etc.

So Saturday the wife and I are returning from PA on a cigarette run, pull off the interstate for a smoke (we won't smoke in the car) and park in a dirt parking area on a backroad.

As we're standing outside the car getting a fix a teenage girl come over the hump and around the bend, sees the Z and immediately becomes transfixed by it.

Long story short, she runs off the road and into a power pole. Wham!

Pole snaps and transformer and wires come down in the road, snaps pole across the road and that transformer comes down.

Road closed, sparks spitting everywhere, brush fire starts, girl gets out OK.

Dad's car and she missed getting fried by a few feet.

I call 911 and they dispatch Fire and Police.

Wife and I are like, "Holy Crap!"

I get lots of stares, but so far nothing like that. Glad all that got messed up was her car and a power line.

You should try vaping, was on 30 cigs a day and stopped 10 months ago. Now I vape inside home and in car WIN WIN..

News flash! DOT is now seeking to ban the Nissan 370Z as it has been found to be styled in such a manner to attract children.

DOT released a statement that this is dangerous as this makes kids feel the need for speed and endless gawking when in physical presence of the car.

Play on words in relation to vaping ban craze for no real good reason.
