For the last seven years, a car show known as "Supercar Saturday" has been entertaining automotive enthusiasts in Omaha, Nebraska. However, the 2026 show is banning Nissan and Infiniti VQ-platform vehicles from attending.

the host and organizer of Supercar Saturday. He told us that it was a difficult decision, but said that Supercar Saturday is meant to be a free, family-friendly event, and that safety is most important. So, after repeated incidents by those behind the wheel of vehicles like the Nissan 350Z and 370Z and the Infiniti G25, G35, G37, Q40, Q50, and Q60, the organizers decided it was in everyone’s best interest to ban those vehicles from attending the show.

According to Rahmanzai, many younger folks who own these cars refuse to adhere to the rules and are constantly during burnouts, revving their engines and generally being reckless. A video of a Nissan 350Z crash taken at their event went viral a couple of years ago; the driver, a 16-year-old who had gotten his car roughly a week and a half prior, wrecked the Z, took out a fire hydrant, and nearly hit some spectators.

Rahmanzai said he was under pressure to cancel the show all together; he didn’t want to do that, but he said had to do something—so the VQ ban was put in place.

300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary



I've seen a lot of cars that can't move under their own power, but none owned by anyone stupid enough to let the cops see the proof that they were towed to where they are

ever heard of a 432 Fairlady Z?




Larry Chen, in Tokyo, gathered a half dozen Nissans, and this was the only left hand drive from the USA

this is really impressive up close and in person...


 


First time I've come across a GTR in a residential, and it's a Hennessey? Damn, there are some RICH people in San Diego

these were an unusual surprise to find on the walk... I'm finally getting into a better neighborhood for cool cars


It's RARE to see a cool old mini. I don't know if I've seen one on walkabout before


MG Midget, I'm pretty sure



 Nissan 300 ZX, once the big dog. I bet a properly sorted out example would be a good competitor for a Corvette. Based on the area being Mira Mesa, central area of all the fans of rice rockets, and ground zero of Fast and Furious fandom from day 1. Plus based on the looks of this, I'm guessing this was put into a permanent time out by the cops, and maybe the owner has some nutty idea about hanging onto this instead of selling it, in order to fix it up... like every nutter without a plan does.

Huh! Right hand drive, with places from Asia. How's that avoid parking tickets for not having California plates?

license plate so expired that the year does not actually appear, just the color

It's been a long time since I've seen a painting on the engine side of a hood... this one is amazing

Nissan, is in a world of hurt...

Mercedes-Benz’s pension trust is poised to divest its approximately $346m shareholding in Nissan Motor, which equates to a 3.8% stake in the Japanese automaker, reported Reuters

This move by the German car manufacturer adds to the existing pressure on Nissan’s share price, which has seen a 24% decline this year.

it was confirmed that thousands of owners of vehicles with VC-Turbo engines have filed a class action lawsuit against the brand. What is happening? It seems that Nissan knew that one of its variable compression systems had been defective for years and still decided to go ahead with the model and sell it

I'm pretty sure this gives cops all they need to know when looking for someone to keep an eye on in traffic

 Interesting that the 350Z has been removed, and a badge that is written in Japanese has taken it's placee,

I'm guessing the license plate was chosen for a specific meaning too.. .
