Good Day Ladies,

Last week I had an experience that, although quite mundane, seems like another milestone to me.

My out and about experiences in great part involve going to places where I am most likely to be interacting with women. I have always felt more comfortable that way, although lately I have had more experiences of interacting with men. As a side note, while sitting in a restaurant or being out and about in general, I don't identify with the men. I don't necessarily think about this consciously, it is just that I don't feel that I am part of their group.

The latest milestone for me then occurred on morning last week. I had put on my make-up and dressed in one of my skirt outfits ready to go into town. The season here is already well into autumn and we have already had frost overnight, so I am able to wear some of my warmer clothing now.

When I started up the car, a warning sign came on that the battery in my ignition key was getting low. There is a dealership in the town I go to, so I decided that I would have to get a battery from there.

Well, it doesn't really seem like all that much but I had never been in there in my female mode before and I didn't know how it would be.

When I got there, there was nothing for it but to go into the showroom head over to the parts department and ask for a new battery.

The young man at the parts counter never batted an eyelid or reacted in any untoward way. He was just very helpful, installed the new battery then asked how I would be paying.

On my way out, I just had to look around the sports car they have on show. It is one of the latest 'Z' cars and all muscle and adrenalin. Anyway, one of the senior salesman approached and started talking about the car. I recognised him as I had bought a car from that dealership a few years ago. He also just spoke to me in a normal fashion with no looks of curiosity.

We then had a very interesting talk about the Nissan 'Z' car range and I told him that I remember the first 'Z' cars from the 'Seventies and how they could blow everything else in their class off the road but, unfortunately, were prone to rust.

This was all after I had said that his new 'Z' car was beyond the reach of my pocket.

An interesting experience for me anyway as normally I shy away from such lengthy encounters with men.

The new 'Z' car is priced at C$66,000, by the way and I agree with the salesman that you do get the biggest bang for your buck in a car in that class.

The car I have now is from a dealership in the city. However, I will have no hesitation now in taking it to that dealership for servicing and any warranty work.

Thanks for listening, girlfriends.

The 240Z was the first car I really wanted to buy (around that time I liked certain Cameros but I never looked into them). And I seriously looked at what rust protection aftermarket products were available - Rusty Jones!)  I bought a B210. That's been my m.o. ever since - want the hot sport version, purchase the economic model of the same manufacturer.

Anyway, to the real issue. If a potential customer shows respect and consideration for those in a company offering products or services, I would fully expect any salesperson or customer representative to reciprocate that respect and consideration.  Besides going back yourself, you could easily mention to some others how well you were treated and they might wind up buying something from that company where they hadn't considered them before.

I will quite often sing the praises of companies where I do business that treat me and others with how I expect, and actually do treat them the same way.

The fact that you went first to the service window should strongly suggest to any (and every!) salesperson that you are a potential serious customer and should be treated that way.

Hugs, ChloëC

Hi Chloe,

Yes, it was a very relaxed discussion regarding the merits of the 'Z' car series and I will recommend that dealership to others.

In the 'Sixties there was a police T.V. series called 'Z' cars, but the 'Z' in that case referred to the Ford Zodiacs that some of the police forces used at the time.

Hugs,

Aurora

Since retirement I have been to many places and went to a dealership to look for a new car. It went really well, no one batted an eyelid, I was another customer who saw what they wanted and made a purchase. I have returned to have the car serviced. I needed a new set of tires so went to a small dealer I have used for decades and he knows the male me. When i turned up he was polite and I dropped a hint about something in the past and he looked at me quizzically but didn't miss a beat otherwise.

I am not a car nut but yes who didn't want the 240z. The early ones did rust but what a beast. Wasn't it first marketed under the Datsun marque?

There was an incident involving a Japan Airlines cargo jumbo carrying Datsun parts.  The  cargo door had a fault, the door blew off at about a 1000 feet, the cargo crates burst sending the parts spiraling down. People on the ground were showered and one man cried out 'Christ it's raining Datsun cogs'...

Yes, it was the Datsun 240Z.

All the export Nissans went by the Datsun name in those days.

I hadn't heard about the Datsun Cogs until now.

Aurora, we haven't yet met. You must have quite a feminine voice for such conversations. Thank you for posting your positive experiences .

Thanks for relating your new experience, Aurora.

It may not be a Z, but the 2025 Miata looks amazing and will cost half of the Z's price. Just saying.

Thanks for sharing this experience. It reminded me of quite a number of times when, I ventured into traditionally male environments while en femme. Most often these were oil changes, but on a couple of occassions I spent several hours waiting for significant repairs to be completed. In every case, I was treated with courtesy and professionalism.

I'm with you Aurora! I would much rather be in the company of women than men. I feel more of a connection and would much rather talk about female topics.

I had a 370Z which I loved. I regret trading it in immensely! While I would love to be the hot chick in the hot car, I guess it's better not to draw so much attention to myself on an everyday basis.

Wasn’t going to reply but since everyone wants to talk”Z” cars, I’m in.  I worked at a Datsun dealership when they changed names to Nissan.  The owner had a fully restored “1600” , the forerunner to the “Z” line. Looked sort of British, like an MG.  I drove my fair share of 240s, 260s, 280s, and a few of the then new 300s.

240z was a great little car ran well, but was a rust bucket body wise. 260z was the biggest piece  of  crap ever unleashed by  the rising sun. It had the new pollution rule junk which made the carbs require constant maintenance .  We saw a lot of these in my service dept.  luckily they only built for 2 years.  280z was a revolutionary change for the better for its day.   It was a heavier car but the new fuel injected motor was smooth and powerful. They also started the “2+2” model, a back seat that only a child under  8 might fit in.  The problem with the early 280s was they were advertised to burn leaded gas,( much cheaper then). But fouled the injectors and required replacement, very expensive, and only under warranty  for 40,00 miles .  Our lead mechanic invented a way to clean in car and was adopted company wide.

The  best Datsun?  Overall, the 69 to 72 “510” sedan.  Motor was “ bullet proof”. Cheap parts, and easy to work on, and required little of both.  Body held up as well as any Datsun of that era.  Not a pretty hot rod, but adequate power , great fuel economy,  space for 4 adults and luggage.  Still just got to have a “Z” to be STYLIN!

Thanks for all the information on Datsun and Nissan, Lorraine.

As you say, my 'New Experience' topic has been overrun by 'Z' cars. Not that I mind.

Your observation that the 1600 looked sort of British is also true of the Mazda Miatta. Japanese engineers and business people have long been good at copying and improving. It is said that the Miatta's original design included everything good from all the British sports cars put into one car. The not so good ideas were left out.

Well, as Lauren said, it would be great to be a hot chick driving a hot car. I have a few ideas on what I would wear if I were such a hot chick.

Going back to 'Z' cars, there was a British police drama series in the 'Sixties by that name. 'Z Cars', only their 'Z Cars' were the Ford Zodiacs of the time.

The original Datsun fairlady supports car was the SPL 212, but have not seen one up close.  L denoted left hand drive.    The best show for  sports car nuts was “ Get Smart”. The first series, he drove a sunbeam  alpine, a MG like 4 cyl  British sports car.  After that he drove a Sunbeam Tiger, which had Ford 289 cube  performance motor and ran like a bat out of hell.  As Smart would say  “ would you believe…….”   Sorry , I’m just a gearhead with grease under my nail polish. LOL.
