First Post!

The first thing that got me truly into the concept of the world of cars was my father’s Pontiac GXP.  This car had the body of a boat, but the engine of a train.  He would always give it a little gas giving myself a temporary adrenaline boost.  Growing up in central Pennsylvania most people either have a cool jeep or car, just furthering my love of the auto mechanical trade.  One of my favorite television shows growing up was the show Top Gear, it stars three knowledgeable British hosts as they test and review all types of cars from Ferraris to Ford.  This show has a huge cult following, and is known as one of the most popular shows globally today.  The cinematography on that show is also one of the craziest I ever seen, they go through the world’s most visually appealing roads, taking BBC funded cameras recording at probably the highest quality available today.  My good friend Zach owns my dream car, a Nissan 1992 300zx.  This car is the car that one day after I graduate after this year (knock on wood) to purchase and build up from maybe an old clunker back to its former glory.  The process could take several years, but the journey is just as good as the reward.  Almost at least.  Next, let me tell you why I think the 300zx is a great vehicle. 

First off the 300zx is a very visually appealing car, with its more laid back for a twin turbo’d car.  With a wide wheel base it can take curves at a very high speed with almost no chance of loss of control, a virtually no chance in rolling.  Another great thing about taking a curve with a “Fairlady Z” is that some models in the Z32 series had an active rear wheel steering system nicknamed “Super HICAS”.  This rear wheel steering is activated by a sensor telling on how sharp the front wheels are moving, gradually moving the rear wheels a few degrees, this adds stability and safety in those corners.  The 300zx had a few iterations over its life span with several features added on it.  They had both automatic, manual, single turbo and dual turbo.  The rarest of the cars sold was the twin turbo, the twin turbo typically sold about 2000-20000 units and the prices can be higher for this matter of rarity.  The 300zx later went on to become the 350z, then later into the current 375z model.  These are a few of Nissans most popular cars in America and abroad spanning multiple generations. 

Next post I plan on writing about a Jeep maybe, as another good friend owned a lifted one, several years ago.  I will continue to post pictures and the occasional text post discussing cars or even vehicles in general.  Also if anyone has any cool vehicles to post, please don’t be hesitant to send me yours!  Once again thank you for taking your time and reading this, and please follow and discuss!
