and why does the guy I bought my 73 240z from keep calling it that in email? I've been in the Z car world for years, but don't think I've heard this one before.

Maybe you should ask him.

never mind, I remember they called it the snot rocket now, because its green.

That's funny. So what would they call a brown one?

snot rocket is not what I think of when I hear "SR" and "Datsun" in the same sentence. I think of the Nissan SR20 which is a beefy 4 cylinder.

p.s. The new nick name for my car is "blue flame." Try to figure it out.

p.p.s. J/K about the nickname.
