Why I Stopped Caring About the Price of Gas
Since the price of a tank of Premium has gotten so absurd, I have curtailed a lot of plans for memorable Road Trips and have opted to sit at home and guzzle Beck’s beneath my Tiki, enjoying the fine Florida weather. The G Coupe, itching for a ride, gathers dust in the garage, its slumber […]
Coming Back From Nashville
I’d had enough. A couple weeks ago I was bored silly from just sitting around watching cobwebs form on my Infiniti. My computer had gotten infected and had become useless, and I was re-reading books I read in college. The only thing on TV was the markets crashing, and I was REALLY bored with that. […]
Z irony of it all
I recently traded my ’03 Z for an ’05 Infiniti G Coupe. On sunny Sundays, me and the Z would travel around on the back roads nearby, seeking adventure and enjoying the ride. It’s no different with the G.For the entire time I had my LeMans Sunset Z, there were only three or five others […]
Is The Infiniti G35 Coupe a Better Z?
I’ve had my ’05 G Coupe for about six months now. I traded an ’03 350Z for it, and I think that I have gained enough perspective into G ownership that I can have, and make, some valid comparisons with my Z. I drove the Z cross-country and up and down the Atlantic coast and […]
When You Get Caught Between The Z and New York City
One of the continuously mysterious parts of Z ownership, for me anyway, was the almost complete absence of 350Zs from the streets of Manhattan. You can see all kinds of exotic cars in the endless streams of traffic that NY coughs up–Rollers, Peugeot, Russian stuff with DPL tags, classics, etc. but seeing a Z is […]
A Supercar Buffet
They were clustered by the dozens in neat groups. The Audis were under the trees, the Rollers & Bentleys were by the tents, right next to the Aston-Martins; Ferraris (Oh, God, the FERRARIS !!!) were grouped along the fence and the Lambo’s were lined up with mathematical precision along the path. The Germans had their […]
One Year Anniversary
It’s been just a year since I cashed in my 350Z for a G coupe, a year since I abandoned the “350Z Forum” site and brought my allegiance and insight over to NICO, a year since my cute little granddaughter landed on the planet. A year ago, I was paying around $2.40.9 for the high […]
Busted in Georgia
It’s about 1 AM, on a Sunday. I’d been on the road for nearly 5 hours. I was in central Georgia, just south of Macon, returning home after attending a friend’s wedding in Nashville and I was hungry so I got off the Interstate and pulled into a popular roadside restaurant. The menu featured an […]
Log of The Z – Remembering the Expensive Chimichanga
I tend to write a lot of stuff about my Z. I guess because owning it suddenly put me into the Big Leagues. It was a fifty-five month period of unending adventure and oddball happenings that sharpened my appreciations and provided me with a coda for my life’s experiences thus far. Me and the Z […]
