I would love to have a 300zx. What year is it?

My great grandpa who fought in WWII always called up whippersnappers. I just hope you don't smell like he did. You know that old person smell? He had it bad.

It was said as a joke since Trip used the term "old fogies in Vettes"...I've never said that in my life and I wasn't alive during WWII either.

Oh and yes while visiting my grandmother in the nursing home I learned about "that smell".

It's a joke. My dad owns a vette that he bought for his midlife crisis toy. I have gone to a meetup with him and it was a huge group of people just like him and older there. After that, I started calling the vette a "grandpa" car to piss him off.

I totally know what you mean. I never go to any of the group get togethers...I tried it a couple of times and it just wasn't for me.

Now when some of the modded Vette guys get together for a "run"...I'll join in but since I got back into sportbikes in 07 I haven't even been doing that very often. When I say "modded" I don't mean fancier floormats either.

I didn't ride for a few years since being run over by a cager and having several surgeries but once I got back on a sportbike I caught the fever again.

"nhgunnut" who is a member here got me back into riding. My wife worked with his wife and we went to visit. He tossed me the keys to his Ducati 999R and then his TurboBusa and when we came home the wife and I went out and bought two bikes and it's been a blast ever since.

Its the 1990 model Twin Turbo. Moded to about 400+hp. He added adjustable Tein coil-over shocks which really helped with the handling. The thing used to break the ass end lose constantly (may have had something to do with a lead foot) but it really sticks well now. Runs great. 125,000 miles.
