A Turbo Zee

Nice turbo Z on the way home last night. Gave it the berries when his light went green, I like to think it's because he saw me. But I knew it for a turbo before that due to the bumper slats.
I can't approve of the fake vents in the nose panel, but it's a cool car all the same.

Channeling this. We don't call them Zees down here, we call them Zeds. But I like the ad so it gets a pass.

That's a 'murica thing.

In Canada we are taught Zed as Commonwealth cred (it's one trick we use to flush out covert US spies or make fun of those that watch way too much US Programming).

Japan they pronounce it Zed-Oh. So yeah...

@Exage03040 Hey, don't give up the secrets! Next you'll be telling them about the handshake.

@Nauraushaun This is our opportunity to lord over the BMW owners by just calling it the chassis code of Z32.

@Exage03040 Zeed is Z pronounced in french, I thought Canada was a british protectorate not french?
