GreenZZZ Posted July 11, 2012 Share #121 Posted July 11, 2012 "You're going to fit all of THIS into THAT?!" I said, "Supposedly," still skeptical.Everything I owned fit into my 240 until I was about 22. I wouldn't buy stuff unless it could fit into "the pack" which was an elaborate load-out scheme to move out of a furnished apartment at the end of a semester of school. Like your shopping experience, the car was loaded to the ceiling even on the passenger side.On the misconception side, I was on a date and the gal asked if my car was Jag while sitting in the passenger seat. I tap the "Datsun 240Z" logo on the glove box and a few times and get nothing but a confused stare. I figure she didn't read much and said, "Yeah, its a Jag with a Mercedes straight six motor for reliability..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorman7 Posted July 11, 2012 Share #122 Posted July 11, 2012 I was filling up at the gas station yesterday with my yellow 240. A 7 year old boy jumps out of the car and tells his mom, “Wow, that looks like a Muscle Carâ€. The mom agreed and said, â€Yes, that sure is a Muscle carâ€. Made me smile. Wish it had a muscle car motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted July 12, 2012 Share #123 Posted July 12, 2012 The one where "g" nose means Grande Nose instead of:Well, the A nose design didn't work and the B, C, D....didn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share #124 Posted July 12, 2012 And the 300ZX is the cause for all of us having a 280ZX too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetaway Posted August 8, 2012 Share #125 Posted August 8, 2012 One of my bigger smiles this summer was when an old fart (i.e., maybe five to ten years older than me), walking with I assume his grandson (four to six years old), spotted my 240 in the garage and told him:"See that car? Its a 260Z, a bad arse car." I quietly said "240" and he tells the kid, it's "a 240Z, those are bad arse, bad arse cars. Bad arse!"Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share #127 Posted August 8, 2012 What exactly is "Bad arse?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluezcrazy Posted August 8, 2012 Share #128 Posted August 8, 2012 I think this link to Urban Dictionary explains it best. Bad arse-1. adjective. having extremely favorable qualities 2. adjective. pertaining to a person or thing that is rugged, strong, and/or ready to show these... Unfortunately the internet blocker at work won't let me see more than what I just typed.Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoManMike Posted August 8, 2012 Share #129 Posted August 8, 2012 Way to teach our youth a good base of adjectives. Especially when referring to a car. Very funny. I had a guy ask me other day where I found "that orange pinto"(this is at the shop at work). I kindly asked him if he bought his glasses at Walmart (totally flew over his head) and replied, Its not a pinto, its a Datsun. Oh a Datsun, I didn't know they made them anymore... wow. Needless to say he wasn't with it but I got a little chuckle. Of all the cars he could have picked to mix it up with he had to pick a pinto? Really? The Garth mobile? I guess I should look on the bright side, out of at least 12 cars in the lot he noticed the Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share #131 Posted August 8, 2012 I've read some of the stuff on the Urban dictionary website. the people that contribute there are worse than over at zcar.com... The same people are probably the authors of the "SMS dictionary for the illiterate."I'd rather use Wikipedia for a definition of this, or just wait until some TV show on the Discovery Network provides a definition of "Bad arse car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
