Dear Empire Z Members,

While many areas of the country were facing 11 degree temps and 11 inches of snow, we were fortunate to enjoy 11 Zs on a mild SoCal night for our January 2 meet. It was great to see a couple first-timers for the new year and you can check out pictures from the meet at http://www.facebook.com/inlandempirez - Please support the page and the posts by clicking "like."

Trivia - With the Detroit Auto Show just around the corner, the question came up as to what the seventh generation Z might be called if a concept is unveiled. Several people said "Fairlady," which has always been used in Japan and Z35, which would follow the current Z34. Congratulations to Jose for participating and taking home a Hot Wheels Holiday die-cast Z.
