My Reason for Not Getting a Z-Car - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

slicktop · 08-02-2015, 12:32 PM

I never liked the 350Z/370Z. I had a 300ZX before my FRS, absolutely loved the car but it was time to move on.

I'd like to buy another one someday, but I think my next sports car will be a Supra/FT-1 or GTR.

I could possibly swing Skipper but Barbie is out of the question.

C$14.88 at the Walmart. She'd look great hanging from the rearview mirror of your FR-S.
(I googled "BRZ Barbie" and fortunately nothing came up!)

Ummmmmm I think a Barbie hanging from the mirror just may attract undesired attention from several different groups.

Replace Barbie with the following and you got my attention!

I liked the old 350z but the new one looks so bland and soulless

There was a line from the Top Gear review of the 350Z when it came out that really summed up how I feel about new(er) Z cars. Something like "I was expecting it to be light, agile, and fun - like a more powerful Mazda MX-5, but it just..... isn't"

I loved mine. S/N 9248. Deathtrap by today's standards. Although the 86 is better at just about everything, I'll never get over watching that loooong hood sweep around the corners. Poetry.

@Tcoat, does that count as blond? Pink is a kind of blond...
