6) Drove 14 hours North
7) In North Carolina, ran over a retread cast off by a semi and wiped out front bumper area

The Devils Z · 03-27-2007, 11:07 AM

at least your car look good for the show, would really have sucked if you hit it on the way to the show

Zya8187 · 03-27-2007, 12:20 PM

I wasn't there either, but I'm not retarded. It also says it at the top of the page in the original post, check number 7.

southrolla · 03-27-2007, 05:14 PM

I can't believe that happened.(re-tread lying in the road) After taking all the pics of your car, then the next day, cRack. No Good. Good to meet you Dee, and your friends,
-Tim

Good hanging out with you Brian ( and Mike ) ... if you need anything ..let me know ... call me when you head out to Atco .. and call me about tires. I can get them for you from tire rack when you are ready.

MikeL123 · 03-28-2007, 12:39 AM

good question....

the SRT guy was GREAT!!! ....he was talkin about keepin side by side when it was your 666hp Z and i was like WTF?????? then he said you dropped and i was like...OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH OK!!!

Ballistic · 03-28-2007, 10:23 AM

So Dee, when is your next big roadtrip...Zcon? I love the big roadtrips. We had a 10 car convoy that averaged 95 mph the entire trip. 4 of the cars had CBs (I was up front, 2 in the middle, and one watching the back), and so we knew where SmokeyBear was at all times.

I have a track day in northern Ohio, April 13th. Too bad you live so far away

supergoji · 03-28-2007, 02:19 PM

damn, all i would have rememberd if i went, would be the boobs, the skyline (trying to steal the skyline, jk) and making it hoem in less the half the time it took to get there.
one time it took me 3 1/2 hours to get to New England Mass, it took 50 mintues to get home hehe...

I am not sure, I just dropped off The Devils Z at the bodyshop for a full repaint. Send me a PM when you are taking a road trip ..

I defintely will be at ZCON, we should hook up on the way down. And I am kicking around the idea of NOPI, but that is a lot of miles within 30 days ..

**TnkrsToyCo** · 03-28-2007, 09:31 PM

Definately watch the gators, saw one take out the hood and windshield of a Beemer once. Back when I was running trucks. Had a cap come off a bob truck over by Ok city, came sailing across my 240sx like a frisbee. Missed the top by an inch or so.
Great pictures by the way.

One of these days we're going to make the Z1 Nationals.

You guys want a road trip, come to Branson May 10th-13th and then head back to the Tail of the Dragon.

Ahmed · 03-28-2007, 09:46 PM

no, i didn't because "over there" certain folks always complain like I have some hidden agenda.

so I save the good stuff for here !

Ahmed · 03-29-2007, 12:09 AM

i know what you mean...some people have a stick up their ass...but if in your judgment it was safe, then i'm gonna take your word for it...and not throw a hissy fit...

cant wait to see the car with the new paint..good luck
