	Kyle "GodZilla" San Jose, CA / Japan Gear head at heart, Web guru by trade (I get the blame when the site goes down). Since I was young, my passion has always been cars. My dad asked me to help him tear apart an old AMC Gremlin for parts, and from there I was hooked. You could also say I've done just about everything, from body & paint work to engine build-ups (including completely crazy ones!). I've owned somewhere near 100 cars in my life so far, but I've stopped counting around the 50th one or so.	Brian "yobri" Bay Area, CA I've been a SF Bay Area native all of my life. There's no other place that I'd rather live... well except maybe Japan. Hailing from the Honda community, the 350Z brought me out into the world of Nissan and RWD performance. When I'm not at the 9-to-5 or lurking around on the board, I'm usually spending time with my g/f, hanging out with my friends, or working contract jobs... as of late. If I had more time, I'd like to be able to watch more Jdoramas.



	Jason "failsafe" San Jose, CA Back in San Diego after a five-year hiatus in the Bay Area. I spend most of my time as a sales engineer for a small telecommunications company based in CA. I enjoy playing hockey and tracking my car, and do both as often as possible. I'm also a football junkie and proud member of the Raider Nation.	Matt "mc350z" Clemmons, NC I'm from North Carolina and a graduate of Catawba College with degrees in Sociology & Philosophy of Religion. Sports cars have always been my true passion. Over the last few years I've become a hardcore Z enthusiast. Between my parents and myself, we've owned one of every Generation Z. I'm also a huge fan of everything Nissan Motorsports (my own 350Z is a NISMO S-tune car). I'm a lifelong Nissan enthusiast & I hope to own either a Z or new GT-R throughout the rest of my life.

	Alex "Nitrouz" Vancouver, BC / Redwood City, CA I work way too much to have a life, therefore the trip to and from work has to get my juices flowing. Hence my Z. Finally had enough money for a Z, and ever since the first drive, it inspired me. I'm spending so much money and time and effort into my Z because it is the only vehicle that I've ever driven (and I've driven a lot!) that inspires me. I can't explain why. On my off days, I like to hang out with my friends, or/while working on my Z. Or of course, go for a ride on my R6 that Yobri is trying to steal away from me.	Andy "MannishBoy" Nashville, TN I bought my Daytona Blue Touring 350Z in late December '02. The purchase involved the Internet, a pricing mistake by the dealer, and a last minute bus trip (since no flights were available) to pick the car up several states away after a midwestern snowstorm. If it weren't for the bus trip, I never would have met a biker from Illinois named Alabama who was living in Colorado until the statute of limitations ran out on something he assured me was "not a big deal."



	David "DavesZ#3" Baton Rouge, LA I'm an engineer (MSME) of sorts, working for a large EPC company. I've always been a mechanical tinkerer, electronics & computer geek, and car fanatic. I've never been able to resist cool toys - from model planes to R/C helicopters, computers, stereos, power tools, and of course, cars. I fell in love with the Z back in '79 when a good friend offered to let me drive his. From there, I went onto own an '80 280ZX, an '85 300ZX-T, and now an '04 Daytona Blue Performance 350Z.	Kelly "kcobean" Sterling, VA I'm a 33-year old network engineer for a major computer/software manufacturer. I've had a few sports cars, but the Z is the only one that really inspired me. I have a great wife that has supported the seemingly endless amounts of money I've spent on this car and a son who is slowly getting into the car scene too (he's only 6). I'm an ex-Army helicopter crew-chief, and I enjoy recreational target shooting when I'm not enjoying the car or spending time with my family.



	Marty "mhoward1" Apex, NC I was born a "gearhead" and a true auto enthusiast. My ride home from being born at the hospital was in a 427 GTO Tri-power. I inherited my love of cars honestly from my father, who has owned quite a collection himself. As I grew older my collection began early (at the ripe age of 14, even though I couldn't legally drive the car). I got into Z's early in life and one of my first cars was a 77 280Z. Since then I have owned 7 - 10 z's and almost every generation (still working on the Z33).	Neil "O NO" New York, NY Bred and born in New York, I've lived here all my life except for a 2-year hitch in the military more years ago than I want to remember. Presently, I'm on a 3-year (and counting) self-imposed sabatical from a re-org of my last job with a major international financial firm in the IT department. Always been into cars, especially the drags whether it be a ¼ or 1/8 track (preferring the latter). I'm also an old school big block engine lover having owned my share over the years.



M O D E R A T O R S

	James "GTNPU Z" San Jose, CA When I first saw the 350Z concept, I fell instantly in love. So on my birthday of 2003, I drove straight to the dealership after work & picked up a SS Performance. It was perhaps one of the happiest days of my life & felt like a little kid when I was driving out of that lot. A few months later, I joined My350Z.com & that's when the mod bug bit me. Since then I've been getting a lot of compliments on my Z, which I owe to the Z community for providing me with awesome feedback/suggestions & valuable info that I needed.	John "John" Arlington, NoVA Known as a crazed road-racing junkie here at my350z.com, I am actually a 27-year old financial management consultant embodying the "work hard, play hard" mentality. I'm available to assist with any questions about road racing setups for 350Zs (and other cars as well) and/or getting involved with the sport. You can find me on weekends instructing at race tracks, and soon actually racing. Note: I am easily bribed with alcohol or things that go "vroom", but not at the same time.



	John "2004z" Redwood City, CA By day, I'm a sales engineer for a small internet company, but any time I'm free at work, I'm on this site. I wasn't much of a car guy before buying my Z, but once I got hold of it, the modding bug bit hard! I tried to pry myself away from it, even tried to buy a new car, but that only seems to have made the addiction worse. Come Spet. 06, I'm hoping to have my TT setup installed and be finally done with my Z.	Matt "ZU L8R" Orlando, FL I was born and raised in Orlando, Fl and still live there. I am a valet supervisor (yes, I know I'm evil) @ the biggest hotel here in Orlando. I'm really into cars and have driven just about everything becasue of my job. I bought my 350Z in Aug. 03. I'm a mod-a-holic. I had my rims before the Z just to give you an idea. I've had N20, SC and TT on the Z so feel free to ask about anything. If there's some type of event going on in FL there's a good chance I'll be there so make sure to stop and say hi.



	Mike "Wired 24/7" Los Angeles, CA A graduate student at UCLA, I'm pursuing a PhD in chemical engineering. I'm relatively new as a car enthusiast, but passionate nonetheless. Not the first in the family to love the Z, my father once owned a 1980's 300ZX, while my mother drove the first Z ever on American soil! In my spare time, I enjoy movies, video games, and of course driving and maintaining my 350Z. I aspire to work in R&D after acquiring my PhD, and to make track days a regular habit.	Mike "mrpratt" Blacksburg, VA I grew up on a farm in rural Virginia, driving my Dads old truck and my Moms Volvo in places and ways a 10 year old should not. My first word was even "car." I have been a car guy forever and came into the Z scene almost by accident. I was looking for a 300ZX TT, but test drove a 350Z and left with it that same day. I am engaged and will get married June 2nd, 2007 to the love of my life, Holly. I have been with Holly for 3 years and counting, and we have a Beagle named Boomer. Right now the only work I am doing is writing for Nissan Sport Magazine.



A U T H O R S

	David "Santacruzslick" Naples, FL Now a Naples, Florida resident, I am originally from Newport, Rhode Island. I have always had an interest in cars and in the past few years of my life I have learned a lot about them and have grown quite attached to them, especially the 350Z. I currently own a 2006 PPW coupe and before that a 2004 DB roadster. A lot of my time is spent in school with the rest of it going to hanging out with my family and friends, the most important people in the world to me.
