You and me both man, I'm driving a black NISMO and I often drive through areas where others have been spotted recently (Rt 95, Rt. 3, between Boston and the Lowell, MA area, also southern NH). But never me. And I also DD my NISMO.

Just as well, my baby's a little scratched up on the splitter and on the driver's side -- I'd like to get her fixed up before anyone sees. This spring hopefully. I've also been thinking about getting it painted... Originally wanted the Monterray Blue but of course no NISMOs that color. I was thinking a little darker anyway. Anyone know a GOOD body shop with reasonable prices in the area?

Have you tried that yet ? I would say start eating alot more. Grease is your friend. and everything goes with bacon fat. nothing says breakfast like a loaf of toast smorhered in bacon fat. Please post progress pictures as well. i'll be rooting for you. I'll be your personal cheerleader.

No thanks necessary. Thats what i am here for. I'm a motivator. I should be paid for this stuff...

LOLZ. I lived in Korea for a good while, where even the fat people are thin (mostly). When I came back I was like "OMFG we are so FAT!" Not that I didn't already know... but living for so long in a place where people are healthy really drove it home. Been back a while now and starting to desensitize.

Does your license plate start with a 25? My friend snatched a picture of a black Nismo this morning. It would blow my find if my first confirmed "spotted" 370z was one I didn't spot at all. Hopefully I see you around as we both DD our 370's.

Black Nismo huh? Nice! I usually travel between Lowell and Nashua. I hope I will spot you soon. Or maybe we can gather all the 370z owners around Lowell area and have a mini meet.

I have some damages on my front bumper too. I am thinking to get a new bumper and paint it at Peter's Nissan bumper clinic. But it's gonna be pretty expensive. I am not ready yet... I know a bodyshop in Peabody they are doing decent work but they are not cheap.

I didnt mean to sidetrack the spitted thread - i was just throwing a little humor in there but... If you wanna be fat, whatever - more power to you but what really aggrivates me is that some claim to be handicapped and that has implications. I have seen a disturbing sight at work 3 times now in the past few years - a giant hump of a woman parks in the handicap spot because her knees hurt (i wonder why - nothing do do with carrying an extra 500 lbs i'm sure) and the spots are extra wide for getting wheelchairs out. Well i've seen a few people struggling in a regular spot to get thier wheel chair out without banging up the other cars while the poor hump of a woman with her terrible debilitating handicap called "eating too much" took the spot so she didnt have to burn any more calories than necessary getting to the building. That made me really mad.thats why when i am president i will create new parking spots for the morbidly obese. They will be the standard parking spot width but will be located no less than 1/2 mile away from the store or business they are for. They will have to earn the right to park in a regular spot again !!

Ah I see. You were at performance motorsport in Long Island? Are they any good?

[AlphaSnacks]

I didn't know people still went there.

Everyone goes to Real Auto Dynamics now. The staff that used to run PM left and opened up Real Auto earlier in 2012. Best shop in Long Island by a landslide - already built numerous 500-600WHP 370Zs, Gs, and a 1000WHP 4.2L GT-R.

The work they do is simply ridiculous and not overpriced.

Actually the guys there were really great, very knowledgeable, very advanced shop, and quality work. They didn't overcharge me or anything and made me feel at home. But the only reason I even went there was because Real Auto Dynamics was hit hard by the Hurricane and I was actually calling there for about a week and half straight and no answer or replies obviously. I actually only wanted any work done to my Z by R.A.D., but I got impatient and had no idea when they will open back up. It's tough staring at you exhaust for a week as half just laying there lol, did research and Performance Motorsport's is the second best shop on the Island.

Agreed! R.A.D. Is the best shop on the Island and my preferred shop. I had to settle for PM because RAD was closed cause they got hit hard by Sandy and I had no clue when they would open again. The exhaust sitting there made me impatient lol. Wish I could've gone to RAD but couldn't given the circumstances. Great guys and work over there at RAD.

Haha I totally understand your impatience. I've been there too... I know PM only because I saw a video about their GTM twin turbo 370z a while ago and thought it's pretty cool. Good to know they treated you and your car well. Thanks for the info.
